Death in itself is a morbid point of conversation to bring up for most. It’s one of those elephants in the room that no one wants to talk about beforehand, but when it occurs no one is ever ready. Obviously, there are exceptions such as if someone dies unexpectedly from an accident, cancer, or a random disease. Regardless, life is part of death, and death is part of life. It’s a cycle that has existed since the beginning of time. The moment you left your mother’s womb, you have an internal timer that is counting down your days. Every morning...

Most of us have an unspoken reason for pushing ourselves to our limits over and over again. A reason that strongly resonates with them. For some, it’s an outlet, a challenge, an adrenaline rush. Others find it’s a way to channel aggression, a form of therapy or meditation, a way to calm their demons.So why do it? For many, it’s a necessity.

There are so many imposters out there..everywhere. In a digital ridden age, it quickly gets difficult to decipher real from fake, true from false, clarity from clouded. The reason? Because being true to yourself and the image you produce may have a longer growth curve than from those who develop an online façade. Quality results takes time, time takes effort, and effort requires energy. These are all things that many refuse to sacrifice in order for themselves or their businesses to grow. Getting better at Jiu Jitsu takes years, decades even. The same can be said for inside the weight...
