I4I #9 - Decisions

Starting off the week with an edge is tough, but I truly work hard mentally to drive me head onto never missing a Monday to begin producing results.

Now, for the most part, that involves my health and fitness journey, which the last two years have gotten tougher for things that have been beyond my control.

What about those things that are in my control?

Growing up in the streets of Brooklyn, being raised by a single parent who for her own tough situations had to raise my sisters and I relying on the government and having a father get married to another woman and have children while living right around the corner of us; made for a bit of a tough life.

I hit the streets hard, but also manned up at a young age, because I became the defacto man of the house until we had a stepdad come into the picture and that is whole other story.

Point is, that I toiled with the negative surroundings by making bad decisions that I carried through my younger years and they were compounded with even more just more adult fuck ups.

BUT

I never blame all that shit on the negative impacts it had in my life, because it was based on the decisions I made.

AND

I found the perfect quote to start the week off and to hit that point home:

"I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions." [Stephen Covey](Stephen Covey)
