Our Eyes Are Projectors

“Our eyes are not only viewers, they’re projectors.” -Jim Carrey

I love Jim and have always been a fan of him since I was a kid.

His statement is so true and anyone that’s accomplish a goal, no matter how big or small, can confirm this.

Why?

Because, it took some level of focus and visualization to make that goal manifest into your reality.

It can be clearer for making dreams come true, or things beyond what we ever fathomed becoming our reality, as I have during my BMX career.

All I did was think about BMX, dream BMX, watch BMX contest and videos, talk about BMX, and TAKE ACTION on my BMX bike.

Not only was the emotional and psychological aspect of manifesting a goal or dream there, I also took non stop action every single day possible.

We can create the realities we want or don’t want. It all comes back to what we see in our minds.

All the greatest in sports focus on visualizing their actions, especially when it comes time to compete and test all the “homework” done at home when no ones watching.

Think back to any “good” or “bad” experience in your life and really audit your mindset, actions, beliefs, words spoken, and how it resulted. Was it aligned with those mindsets, actions, beliefs, and words spoken, even if it wasn’t the desired result?

If it’s a yes, then think of how you could spin it for what you want.

My biggest problem along my journey with manifestation the life I desired was the patience piece and I find that’s way more prevalent in today’s society with everything being so instant.

It won’t happen over night but you’ll be surprised how quickly changes are made in your life when you audit and change your mindset, words, and actions.

Slap Of Reality

Today wasn’t easy. Not gonna lie.

My mom & I drove to the police station that held my younger brother, Danny, belongings for nearly 10 months after he took his life a week after turning 26 last June.

Upon opening the container of his personal belongings, I was greeted with his phone covered in his own blood.

Although I thought I was prepared for this moment, I wasn’t. It was another slap in the face of reality that my little brother is no longer here with my mom & I. What’s worse, I can’t do anything about it. Of all the years growing up protecting my best friend, I wasn’t able to this time.

I have a ton of thoughts of regret for being so hard on him over the years as others just enabled him & allowed him to play small in life. I battle against those thoughts with my belief that I was doing what I felt was right in challenging him to live up to his potential from a place of sincere love.

I often get asked “how are you always so positive”?

I’m not. But, I also know that the mind is like any muscle in the body & daily practice, exercise, & recovery are required to ensure we have a chance at becoming what we desire.

I’m human & experience all the ups & downs that we all face but my perspective to be alive and have a chance at changing my tomorrow & sharing it with all of you is what keeps me moving forward.

The people I choose to surround myself with plays a huge role in giving me the courage to be vulnerable, not give up or feel sorry for myself, & allow me to be who I set out to become.

These people in the photos have become brothers from other mothers to me & I’m incredibly grateful for all of them & Jackie

Danny & I both cherished our friends equally as much as we cherish each other. We don’t believe family is solely blood related.

I want you to share your love for those you care about & know your life is what you choose to make it.

Inside & out.

Always strive for happiness but don’t ever think you have to be happy every day or that your broken.

Mess To Messgage

I turned what I thought was my “mess” into my message today with a higher purpose than myself.

My WHY has transformed from self, fueled by spite and anger to prove others wrong, to purpose.

A purpose to serve and support others so they can empower themselves to become the healthiest, happiest, and most successful versions of themselves.

I do this because I don’t want people to suffer and fall short of their potential in life as I was in my past.

I believe I had to go through what I went though to learn and make changes because I was stubborn but also because I was able to overcome the adversity and share my successes as a form of teaching.

All I’ve learned up until this point as a 30 year old has been distilled into these 3 principles I love sharing:

1) perspective is essential and gratitude is the key to abundance.

2) health is internal, not numbers on the scale or what’s on the outside.

3) our reality is a manifestation of our choices.

Audit your choices and if they’re serving you or not.

You’re Not Your Past

Our identity isn’t defined by our past. Our identity is defined by who we choose to be in the moment and the choices we make in the now.

If we feel as tho our identity is dependent on the outcome, then there is no way we can perform at our best.

When I stopped focusing on the outcome, rather I set goals and focused on the actions in the moment, I found a lot less resistance in my life with more success.

Don’t get wrapped up in outcomes or suggestions from external sources.

Design a life you envision, put in the work, build the belief, and don’t ever give up!

Power of Sharing

I believe the power of sharing your WHY, or your beliefs, can lead you to meeting and connecting with extraordinary people like Michael Bustin 💯

The fact that we can share to an unlimited amount of people via social media and the resistance people show towards that fact is mind boggling.

It wasn’t as clear to me in on the beginning in regards to how much value sharing, story telling, and combining the two via the internet could have for others and myself.

I learned the power of sharing in 2010 as I shared for the first time that I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Fast forward & years, sharing in an effort to bring others as much value as possible has led me to meeting incredible people like Michael as well as many more and experiences and opportunities.

What is your perspective on story telling, connecting, and bringing others value?

We All Have This Choice

I believe we all have the same choice in life when things go poorly or well.

It’s a choice that no one can take from us.🙏🏼

It’s a choice in perspective. To choose to see life as glass half full or glass half empty.

To choose to become a survivor rather than a victim.💪🏽

Two quotes I love are:

1- life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you.

2- life is 10% what happens to us and 90% now we react.

That said, if you’re unhappy for any reason then I’d check your perspective. 🧐

Are you a survivor or a victim?

Stress

How do you alleviate stress in your life? 🌀
 
Stress is a major factor in why we as a society are sick, fat, and tired. 😕
 
Whether it be perceived (mental) or physical stressors (toxins, certain foods, exercise, injuries, etc.), the mind and body are so closely intertwined that either form of stress creates a physiological response in the body as seen here in the diagram thanks to Dr. Ryan Lowery 🤓
 
When I began this journey of holistic health, it was based on fear of the brain tumor coming back. The irony of that is that 4 more grew back over the following 7 years after brain surgery.
 
My journey led me to nutrition first, which I believed was the single most important choice we have on a daily basis.🥑
 
Then a torn ACL injury & surgery led me to the importance of fitness for the brain and body.💪🏽
 
Along the way, I was learning more about keto as well as the power of our mindsets and subconsciously picking up on new ways of thinking.🧠
 
Today, I believe the mind(set) is actually the single most important choice we have on a daily basis, closely followed up by nutrition and fitness. The mind(set) came last for me and I believe it was for a few reasons:
 
1- to show me my strength through the physical challenges.
 
2- those challenges gave me clarity on perspective & purpose.
 
3- I was building my mind(set) strength the whole time and now that I’m conscious to it, I am able to tie all 3 parts of holistic health together and share with all of you.

Thermometer or Thermostat

I believe we all have a choice.

A choice to become a survivor or a victim. React to life or be proactive in life.

I love how Jim Kwik puts it as comparing a thermostat to a thermometer. A thermostat controls the environment and a thermometer reacts to an environment.

I know we can’t control our lives but we can control our choices, which will manifest a reality one way or another. Or choices in food, thoughts, and physical activity.

We can choose to be proactive and prevent unwanted realities, or we can live our lives in auto-pilot and react to events as they come. I choose to follow a ketogenic diet & lifestyle for my 🧠, choose to educate myself on a daily basis, choose to serve others and help support them, and choose to hold myself accountable for my reality.

I was living my life as a thermometer and just reacting to my environment until I was 21 and told I was going to die from a massive brain tumor taking residence on the left half of my brain. It took that life or death situation to audit my choices, foster self-awareness, and make the choice to become empowered over my reality.

I share not to brag, but to inspire you all to take action as a thermostat for your life rather than reacting to your life environment/reality as a thermometer.

I don’t want others to suffer as I did and be forced to react to a situation. I want your choices to come from move rather than fear.

BMX to Inspiration

It was a dream to become a pro BMX athlete one day and do this trick I grew up seeing Dave Mirra do.

A version of this trick (performed on the ramp to the left of this photo) actually saved my life when I fell and hit my head and needed an MRI. Backstory leading up to that point, I’d been in and out of the doctors office complaining of headaches, vision loss, and vomiting while also requesting a scan but denied and prescribed pain pills told “you’re young, in shape, and just have headaches”.

Fast forward to that crash I mentioned and the MRI that followed, who knew. I was diagnosed at the younger age of 21 with a massive brain tumor taking over half my brain and residing on my optic nerve and wrapped around an artery in my brian.

I’ve been able to transcend my dreams and inspire action in others around the world with nutrition, fitness, and mindset shifts from my experiences like what I just shared above, and I’m extremely honored and grateful for that fact.

Had I not set out to create my own path in life, who knows how many regrets I’d live with today and how many lives I may have not changed for the better.

Today, I live with 4 brain tumors (2 more brain tumor diagnosis since the original surgery) and have used Elekta Gamma Knife to shrink 2 and ketogenic diet and lifestyle to stabilize the other 2. I don’t compete anymore (personal choice) but I still ride at the same level (seen here), coach others, and am a motivational speaker.
