Time For Change

For those of you that do not know me personally, I have always been a very successful athlete my entire life. I was gifted with natural talent and never had to work very hard, even at the Divison I level. I always assumed that I would make a living playing baseball. However due to injury and other misfortune my career was ended in college. Heard that one  before?

The fact that I had a chance to play baseball professionally but injury and bad luck prevented me is a complete load of crap. For some people this is a reality but I am calling myself out on this excuse. This excuse is abused in every area of people’s lives especially when it comes to not accomplishing the goal you wanted so badly your entire childhood and young adulthood. In my case, I only have one person to blame, myself.

I chose partying, video games, laziness, and stupid pride instead of determination, hard work, education, and most of the time a good night sleep. Now I am left with a regret that I only hope will be remedied by helping others understand how to be great. For me it was baseball, for you it may be your dream job or your dream girl/guy, or just simply being in shape. Ask yourself daily what decisions you are making that stray you from the path and goal you desire.

I have been able to accomplish through hard work an image and lifestyle that I am truly proud of and for now that is enough for me. It was not easy but it was worth it, and it will be for you. Surround yourself with people that make you better, and do not waste your time with things that bring you down. Enjoy your life and reward youself when you deserve it.

Everyone is capable of great things and everyone is capable of change.
