It all Starts in your Mind
I am winning. I really am. Success is first experienced in the mind. I get a natural high when I am alone visualizing what I am dreaming of carrying out. The feeling never gets old. I love sending out this energy over this webpage. Writing about what I am feeling isn’t actually an accurate description either. You would have to see the determination to succeed in my eyes and actions. It’s in me. It’s planted and it’s not going anywhere. The spirit to succeed is in everyone. It is a personal duty of ours to find it. You have to find your willpower.
I feel like I am 17 again. I enjoy getting up in the AM to work towards securing my family’s future. I love the adversity. I love the mental challenges. I love finding out what I am made of. I love life. I am confident in my ability to lead. I am confident in my ability to identify, work with, and inspire anyone in a complex and confusing situation. God had blessed me with a life. I don’t take it for granted anymore. God blessed me with the ability to think. I have control over my mind so it’s easy to understand that I have control over my body. If you seen me in the physical you would understand. I’m in great shape. I have a beautiful work ethic in all areas of my life. Mind, body, and spirit; I feed them all.
I also do a good job of giving sound advice to the young men in my unit. They are the future also. They need hope and inspiration too. If they see me transition out of here and make it with my mental abilities, then they too will believe change is possible. This is bigger than me. I have a lot of people rooting for me. I am serious. One man, one mind, one vision.

“Some succeed because they are destined to.
Most succeed because they are determined to.”
