According to Marvin, "my favorite pidgin or slang to use is 'omo'. I just say 'omo' a lot. I think I say a lot, I put it in everything."

5. He's scared of heights but still climbed a pyramid

Marvin confessed that he is really scared of heights, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to climb a pyramid. He said:

I’m really scared of heights, but this time I was looking at something I always wanted to do - climb up a pyramid. I knew I really wanted to climb but I was very scared, and the people around me didn’t help since they continuously talked about how scary and steep the climb looked. But I wanted to do it. It was either I overcame my fear at that moment and accomplish a dream of mine or go home and live with the regret of not taking a chance at my goal. Immediately I silenced the negative voice & doubt in my head and that blocked the voices around me that talked about how scary the climb was and began climbing. What I’m most proud of myself for was trying. Trying to convince myself that I can, trying to take control of my mind, not letting others voices affect my capabilities. I simply tried. With the new year approaching I encourage you to just try to take a chance at your goal.

Starving Marvin😒 That was my popular name before my body transformation. When you look at this picture do you see the same person?Off course not, I had to change a lot to become the person on the right. Changed my mindset, goals, work ethic, how and what I spend my time on, build consistency and discipline even when my mind or people tell me I can't.
