For anyone feeling depressed, procrastinating, or just “stuck”...
A couple years after I got clean, I became stagnant. I was just grateful to have survived my addiction and the lifestyle that came with it. I got severely depressed, overweight, and had no sense of ambition or drive.
One day I just got sick and tired of being a loser and said, okay dude... you HAVE to change. Life is passing you by. Think about all the people you knew who never got the chance to make it out...
So I started working out, eating better, lost a bunch of weight, and most importantly, started building my confidence back.
Eventually I did some work for a neighbor of mine.. At the time my licence had been suspended for about 12 years because of unpaid fines, so we worked out a deal for the e-bike he wanted to sell.
I then took that e-bike, got some tools, hung up posters around town, and started taking odd jobs.
Within a few months I paid off the fines, learned I had to redo my driver's test, failed twice (third time’s a charm 😉), and once I got my licence back I had enough money saved up to buy a 2008 Ford Ranger.
Several months later, I started my own business.
Since then, I’ve gotten into the best shape of my life, found an amazing woman, started making music again, and the list goes on.
I still have alot of work to do on myself, and have alot more I want to achieve but MAN am I ever a different person than I was even just a year ago.
If you relate to any of this and feel stuck right now, the best advice I can give you is: stop waiting to “feel motivated” and just START.
Even when you’re tired. Even when you feel sh*tty. Even when you don’t believe in yourself.
Push yourself anyway.
Once momentum starts building, it can completely change your life.
You already know what you need to do to better your life. Write it down, make a plan, and get after it before it’s too late.
Time waits for nobody.
Hope this reaches the right people 🤙🙏
