Hey Everyone,

Don't forget you can bounce back from almost anything.

Heartbroken?

Time will heal you.

Injury?

You can heal from most.

Broke?

You can always make money

Overweight?

You can always lose fat

Skinny?

You can always build muscle

Mindset is everything.

The body is capable of amazing things if you set your mind to it.

The body gives up a lot sooner than the mind.

People will say things are impossible -- prove them wrong.

There is a meme going around that points out how Bill Gates and Steve Jobs started building their empires in their early 20s and it's over for you.

It isn't.

It's never too late to start.

But your mindset will need to shift.

You may need to endure some good ol' fashioned character building.

Do you know how many times I heard people say that I would never get abs?

If I had a nickel...

Well, it took A LOT more effort than I ever thought, but finally got there in my early 30s.

When my mother was terminally ill, I was earning peanuts with a freelance job. Just married, assumed a ton of new responsibilities; it was all too much.

I had no support system or way to dig myself out -- without leveling up in my mind.

On New Years' Eve, I was outside, sh*tfaced drunk, looking up to the sky praying to my late father and God for a solution.

11 weeks later, my mom passed away.

Life got worse.

I cursed everything.

I thought there was no way out; burned out at work, having to use my wife's credit card, not knowing where to turn next.

Zero support system -- it was on me and me alone to make things right.

A lot of suffering (in silence) was endured.

During this time, my back finally gave out -- adding to my woes.

I lost my outlet to vent my frustrations.

There was no choice but to face them head on.

It toughened me.

But one sunny September afternoon, my prayers were answered.

Out of the blue, an amazing opportunity arose.

I took that opportunity.

A Godsend.

Things started to look up.

With a lot of work, I dug myself out of my hole and now live a life I never thought possible.

The point is, when your chips are down, you gotta keep playing at the table.

You can't check out until you check out.

No matter the cards you're dealt, you can't leave the table.

So play them to the best of your ability.

Enjoy the flop, turn, and river.

Then play your next hand.

And the next one.

Until it's time to say goodnight.

No matter how bad things may be, how you deal with a shitty situation will dictate your future success.

What separates the best from the rest is the ability to endure superhumans levels of stress with an ice cold demeanor.

And what's cooler than being cool?

Move onto the next challenge, give it your all, and be honest to yourself.

Heartbroken?

Sucks man, I guess it wasn't meant to be. Focus on yourself, improve yourself and somebody better will come along.

Injury?

You can heal from most things. And I say most things. My powerlifting career came to an end with a destroyed lower back, but I got lean. When a door closes a window opens.

Broke?

You can always make money. It has never been easier to make money online - without spending a penny to get started. Find a skill, market it, get clients. Doesn't work? Try something else.

Overweight?

You can always lose fat. Can't lose fat? Have you tracked your calories? Are you eating less? Are you moving more? Still drinking calories? Binging? Cheating? Snacking? Your answer lies therein.

Skinny?

You can always build muscle. Can't build muscle? Are you training hard enough? Eating enough? Resting enough? All three? Be patient, it takes years to get jacked.

Give it your all.

Hurts?

Embrace it.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
