Are you a Dreamer or a Chaser?


Every morning when you hear that alarm clock. What is the first thought that runs through your mind? Do you want to go back to sleep and continue your dreams? or do you have the hunger inside of you to WAKE UP! put your running shoes on and Chase your Dreams?

When your chasing your dreams, don't you need running shoes? and when I think of running shoes I think of those Nike commerical with the people running early in the morning and even in the rain. Nike has been trying to tell us a secret to success for decades inside of their slogan..."Just Do it". This slogan says it all, stop talking, stop waiting, and start doing! the time is now to seize the moment, the time is now to take that step towards greatness. All your promised is today and if your blessed enough to wake up, then you have to RISE and GRIND.

Wake up and Lace up! Everyday you chase your dreams you get closer and closer...

THIS IS WHY I GRIND!!!

 
How bad do you want it? Cause I'm out here grinding when there sleeping. When the competition is dreaming, I'm awake achieving my dream. I’m not playing not games the formula is still the same, hard work + dedication = success. But it ain't gonna come easy, its not going to come over night, you got to put your whole heart and soul. You have to grind now to shine later. You got to sacrifice everything you have for a dream that nobody else can see but you.
Its not enough to try your best you have to do whatever it takes to make it. I’ve fought thru the pain, I got too many people counting on me. There is NO plan B, All I got is one chance, all I got is a dollar and a dream, either I’m finding a way or make it. Simple. This right here has got to work, I got mouths to feed, and promises to keep. I put that on everything I going to make it by any means necessary. I don’t have what it take to be average I was born for GREATNESS. For me success is the only option because I'm willing to die for it.
 
                     
 
You got to believe that one day your going to own the moment. Its going to be your time to shine, to succeed. Your going to stick that landing, hit that game winning shot. Your time isn’t coming your time is here, your time now! Take advantage of this moment, of this opportunity. Never settle for less, take whats yours, no excuses, no moral victories you got to fight and keep fighting until you WIN! Yes your going to have set backs, yes your going to get knock down. But falling doesn’t make you weak its whether its inside of you to keep getting up and keep moving forward. Stop asking yourself how bad do you want it? The question is how hard are you will to work for it? And What are you willing to sacrifice? you got to find that inner strength, that warrior, that champion inside of you that will never let you give up.

You have to tell yourself that Fear will not stop me, my dreams are bigger then my fear. I have reached the point of no return, there is no turning back, I’m willing to die for this!!! I got mouths to feed and promises to keep, there are too many people depending on me. I’m all in, there is no plan B, failure is not an option, All I got is one chance, All I got is a dollar and a dream either I find a way or make it PERIOD!

 
This is why I grind and this is why I hustle, because nothing in my life has ever been given to me. IF you want success you got to pay the price, take the punches, and believe in yourself when no one else does. Its your dream you got to invest into it, When they sleep we grind! No its not bed time its BREAD TIME, get off the couch and start to RISE & Grind. And its not going to come easy, or overnight, you got to put your whole heart and soul into this. You have to grind now to shine later. Your best is not good enough, you have to be willing to do whatever it takes!

Better To Be Exhausted




To be real, a little more than 4 years ago I was broke, homeless, sleeping out of

my car. I have all the time in the world, I slept all day, but some nights I went 

hungry and I slept in my 1998 maximum. 

So when I'm busy now, when I have to Rise and Grind, get up early and stay up 

late, when I have no time to relax. I have to remind myself success and being 

broke is a product of habit! Sleep is for people who are broke, poor, unhappy, 

and unmotivated.

I have a dream, I have a vision, I have #PASSIONHUNGERDRIVE. I will not go 

backwards, I can only push forward. Failure is not an option. I am resilient and 

relentless because I want to succeed as bad as I want to breath!

The Power of Pain

Never underestimate the power of pain. It can make or break, destroy or elevate, breakdown or cause a breakthrough!

I've been knocked down by people, by words, by life but I refused to ever be knocked out. If there is an ounces of blood left, a beat in my heart, soul in my body I promise you I am getting back up, and I'm going to achieve greatness or die trying!


There is a certain strength that struggle, failure, and true pain gives someone. You develop a level or confidence, determination, hunger, and discipline unlike ever before. At the end of pain there is a reward, you find out the real definition of CHARACTER and PERSEVERANCE. And you will never look at life the same as you did before. 


Everything changes the way you see life, people, and most of all opportunity when there seems to be none. Your ambition to never feel that pain, your commitment to keep moving forward, you no longer fear failure, and you embrace the struggle. 

It feels like you don't drink the same water or breath the same air as other people that take their blessings for granite, blames others for their problems or who are satisfied with being less than, your on another level, and your now cut from a different cloth.

Your focused not on the task at hand anymore no more playing checkers, your 7 steps ahead of your competition making chess moves. Making moves to put you in positions to make better moves before anyone can see it, before anyone understands your reasoning.  You see the bigger picture in life; that it's not about eye sight, it's about mind sight


Then all of a sudden, Life start to slow up and people become predictable because you already seen what there going to do, you dreamed it, envisioned it, memorized it. You're a survivor, You don't play inside the box, under the old rules, you're a leader, trendsetter, path blazer!


You have learned that there is no box, no border, no ceiling only the one you put there, your not going to follow the rules you create them, you set the new standard of excellence, when you reach a certain level of greatness inside yourself!


You have to understand others will follow your light. Many of us are living in the darkness looking for that light to show us a way out.Waiting for you to shine your light, and that light is fueled by your Passion, Hunger, and Drive.

YOU CAN'T DESTROY ME.



Recently I've been going through a lot of changes in my life. However the road to redemption has not been an easy one. I have lost loved ones, distanced myself from friends, and I have embarked on a new career pathway. But my work is not finished yet and I have to keep grinding because the haters never take a day off neither can I. Throughout my life I had consistently been told that I could not achieve something, that I wasn't good enough. I had people that were close to me time and time again let me down, and kick me when I was at my lowest.

But just like the sun I have RISEN, I have climbed that mountain, cross that mighty river, and looked myself in the mirror until I liked what I saw looking back at me! I was never the smartest in class, never the best athlete, never the richest...matter of fact I was placed in special education, I got cut from the basketball team in 10th grade, and four years ago I was homeless.

I promise you I had every excuse to quit, give up, and blame other people and for a while I did. But it doesn't matter how many times you fall! only how many times your willing to get back up! Chinese proverb Fall Down Seven Stand Up Eight! I didn't have privilege or a safety net to fall back on to. All I had was My Passion  My Hunger and My Drive.

I just refused to feel sorry for myself, I refused to complain, I refuse to let the judgement of other affect how I viewed myself and I promised myself I will get the last laugh, I will have the last say, I will CHOOSE my fate and I choose to be Relentless, Unstoppable, I chose to be better than good but GREAT! 

So for all those people that doubted me, that labeled me, that laughed at me, I want to thank you because you are equally responsible for my success. And when the load was too heavy and I wanted to give in I asked God for a stronger back so I could prove you wrong. And if you think my haters are mad now wait til they see me next year or in 5 years.

I'm grinding, I'm driven , and I'm more focus then I've ever been because I'm past the haters and I'm Legacy Driven now. So if your going through some hard times, and your not sure about anythings, anyone or even how your going to get through today just know that "TOUGH TIMES DON'T LAST TOUGH PEOPLE DO" there's a champion deep inside of you. That will not let you give up on yourself, that is not satisfied with your current situation and has been waiting to fight, ready to fight, take back control of your life and move on to Greatness! Mediocrity ends here!
