Getting deep here, BitcoinStu! I love it.

You’ve got me reflecting hard on this. A lot went down during that time, but the first real catalyst was having someone look past my past and present and see real potential in my future. Up until that moment, everything around me told me I was a failure and I believed it. My school guidance counselor even told me straight up that doors were closing for me, that opportunities were slipping away on the path I was on. Honestly, it crushed me 😂.

But having someone trust and believe in me changed everything. I thought, why not try to trust and believe in myself for a change? I’d spent so long listening to the voice of failure. What did I have to lose by giving the voice of success a shot?

Since then, I’ve done jiujitsu, read books, learned how to study, worked out, ate healthier, drank less, all the good stuff. But it all started with that initial spark, the belief in what my future could be. The vision of my future shifts what I do in the present. It keeps me focused on the steps I need to take now to create the future I want.

Like Joe Dispenza says, “We are either defined by a vision of the future or the memories of the past.”

It’s a choice we make every day, every moment. And me? I’m picking a bright future every single time!

Thank you Stu for reminding me of this. Grateful for you and life ❤️
