The New Year is approaching and of course that means New Year resolutions are approaching as well. I don't want to sound like a downer but New Year's day is NOT a real holiday. When I asked individuals why they believe it's a holiday, I was told "It's the 1st day of the year". I want everyone to know that within the United States, October 1st is the first day of the year for the military so why don't we celebrate that? Is it because only a small percentage of people serve in

I woke up in the same mindset I always do.... POSITIVE. My day started around 5am and I already received positivity back, especially since it's the holidays. Many are in the giving mood, though one should ALWAYS be. Luckily, within my inner circle has only good people with good vibes radiating from them. I feel we should do good for others all year round, no matter the day or circumstance. I had a great Christmas, I barely got any gifts but that's not what Christmas is about

Wednesday night into Thursday morning it snowed, it felt great. Christmas is soon here and I can honestly say for the first time in a long time... I feel the Christmas spirit. To top it off, it snowed more on yesterday. I know in my heart I have my child to thank for the feeling that has overcome me. I still continue to work and workout especially since I now has someone depending on me but now I take time out to enjoy life's precious moments. Maybe this is that positive in

Well... it's morning and I've been up for most of it. I guess that's fatherhood, gives me time to think. I love to get into my own head, it allows me to know myself better. It's better than talking to another person because you become brutally honest with yourself. As long as you keep positive thoughts flowing through your mind and are genuinely positive then this process will only make you stronger as a person. Things like this, I wish I knew coming out of high school. It so

I always love the start of the week, I know a lot of people dread Monday and Tuesday but when you do what you love for a career.... the beginning becomes much more than just the start of the week but the beginning of something beautiful. I posted this pic "Everything has beauty" because I want everybody to see the world the way I see it. Some people ask me, how do I stay so positive but my question for them is, how do you stay so negative? If this is you then really think

The weekend has come to an end and I felt like it went by fast. I was fortunate enough to see my first snowfall for the start of the new year. I also put up my Christmas tree previously so I got to enjoy that as well. Seeing the tree, snow and my family... helped me get in the spirit. For the first time in a long time, I'm excited about Christmas. It might be because I have a family of my own and want the best for them. I'm not exactly sure what it is but I love the feeling.

I want to give a shout to one of the most dedicated people I know. She's a single mother, works over 40 hours a week in the medical field, goes to school and still manages to workout 4-5 days a week. She may not workout the common times that most people do but she gets it in and goes hard. She's an example that both males and females should follow and the drive we should have. Knowing how busy she is, she looks for ways to get EVERYTHING done that she NEEDS and WANTS. Normall

Again, off to a late start...7am this time. I haven't been able to get as much sleep as I'd like but that has to do with my busy days and baby that I have to take care of, I guess that's fatherhood for you. As I always say, remain positive. In my opinion, I will get REAL sleep when my time on earth expires but until then... I'm on a mission. My mission is my goal and my family so no matter how many times I get knocked down, I'll always get up because I have a reason, matter a

I've gotten another good night sleep, slept in until 7:30am so I enjoyed the extra rest time. As always, I'm starting the day out with a positive mindset. A positive mind attracts positivity, it's my shield against all that's negative. I actually have a lot to to today so it'll be a hectic day due to my new class I'm teaching and all the nutrition plans I have to make. Regardless, it's still going to be a great day. It's very important to always start your day out with a smil

Being a dad isn't easy. I'm assuming since it's my 1st time having a child, it might be harder than I thought. Something that I thought was gonna be easy.... such as the doctor appointment I recently blogged about, well it was extremely hard for me. As an individual, we think It'll be a quick in and out visit but when it's your child then it's more complicated than that. Hearing the screams coming from my child was torture, to hear the fear killed me inside. To hear the one
