I am where I need to be.
At one point in my life I was a broken man. I had reached one of the lowest points in my life: emotionally, physically, spiritually. In the moment, I was in a place and state I did not want to be.
I desperately sought answers. I cried. I was lost. I was hopeless.
I look back on those moments and now understand I needed to go through that experience in order to become the person and professional I am today. I now truly appreciate the adage that "it is darkest before the dawn."
Challenge leads to growth. And opportunity. The growth I experienced allowed me to see and realize it had to start from within. I had to break down, tear away, and leave behind old constructs, behaviors, and patterns. And yes, even some people and relationships.
Today, I live an authentic life. I live in alignment with my core values and principles. I live with purpose. I live with clarity. I know who I am as a person, friend, professional, brother, son, and lover.
I make better choices. I make conscious choices. I react less. I judge less. I do more and live better. I find my true signals and filter out the noise. I am happy and at peace. I'm living the greatest moments of my life. And there is more to come.
Everything I have experienced to this point has led me to BE what I love. I coach. I empower. I inspire. I am...
