“Learn to enjoy every minute of your life . Be happy now!” ~ Earl Nightingale I love surrounding myself with amazing people that fill my life with joy and strengthen my positive outlook. This morning on my 20-mile run, @bear_lee_running & @courtneydawnbowen had a great conversation about our individual journey through life and how we see it as a whole. We meet so many different people, each with their own experiences, struggles, successes and defeats that influence their personal outlook on life. Everyone has their own story. During this conversation, I reflected on my own life. And in all honesty, I absolutely love my life! Now let’s be real, I definitely have my own battles & struggles. But I strive to focus my attention on what is impacting my life positively. And work to remove the negativity that can become so consuming if I allow it to. I believe the key to this Joy in Life for me is by keeping my inner circle tight with friends and family that uplift, encourage, respect and love me and my goals! In return, I am loyal to those I allow into my life. My integrity, character and honor is everything to me. And I will go to battle for my people. Surrounding myself with good people has helped me become a better man, spouse, father, friend and son of God. And I love bringing new positive friends into my inner circle.
