who said "NO"
Who said "NO". that's what I want to know, I live by who said "NO", its who I am. Through your whole entire life people are gunna tell you "NO". My own parents beat meat me because when they said "NO" I couldn't do something, I did it jus to prove anything is possible an "NO" doesn't exist. WHY? I asked myself everyday, because they couldn't do it, or they failed or they were let down. Maybe? See know days know one wants to see you do good for yourself not even your own parents, they take what you got in a heart beat because they raised you. shake my head. maybe not, maybe sometimes people really don't understand. this is why I'm hated or looked at as crazy. I live my life with proving "NO" doesn't exist. I mean I was told NO I cant play football and I was the best at it, they said NO you cant become a entrepreneur and I did. "NO" I couldn't be a writer and I'm writing. I couldn't build a house, I couldn't be normal, my whole life was NO. did it stop me from being me NO, did I get me where I had to be YEA. Maybe people may say I'm crazy or brazen and not understand, so maybe this will help understand. Take NO out of your vocabulary. throw it away, act like it doesn't exists and live your life. obviously don't do nothing that's gunna put you in harms way, but do what you what. you work hard and stress, struggle, etc. everyday. you deserve to be free. you deserve it. people literally hate me for the way I live life but I don't care because I'm happy and before die I can tell my kids stories and my grandkids stories and I lived. yes I'm not perfect, I'm crazy, loud, been through bar fights, and drank till I couldn't remember or did the most dumbest things. what I know is life isn't about working all your life to be miserable and stay home or do what ever you do. life is about waking up everyday being better than you were yesterday, taking those NOs and trying to find way to find a way to make them a yes. because anything can be done. life is about fulfilling everything you wanted and leaving this earth knowing that you've done what you had to do and ready to take on what's next. that's why when someone tells me to this day NO. I tell the, who said "NO" .P.S were all going to die living, lets do it on our terms. I don't regret anything I did. even though i put myself through the most craziest times I don't regret because it set me up for my next goal. my next goal is the biggest I think iv ever done. its like putting all your goals in one and launching off not knowing who what when and where. my next goal consists of me literally leaving everything behind and start becoming a Man, this is the time that I'm gunna have to put the peddle to the metal as they say and go forward with my career as times is hard during covid-19. Getting fit and health for me and my family, they say if you cant take care of yourself you wont be able to take care of no one else. well its true. my mom my wife my brothers and my future depends on this moment. I'm gunna need to stay consistent and learn, learn everything I don't and re learn everything i do. its hard enough doing things on your own but that's what makes the drive and motivation better and stronger. when you realize that your no anywhere your supposed to be and everyone around you is just happy and healthy living life, now you sit up all nigh on Instagram or face book, looking at other peoples life's sitting there saying I wish it was me. well it can be you. the same way I got to grow up and become a man is the same way you got to become a women or man. your not the only one. just because your doing something alone doesn't mean your doing it by yourself there a whole bunch of people who are doing what we are or are in the same place. this is why its different this time. Who said "NO" I cant do this. I'm gunna not only take myself out of the position I'm in now, I'm gunna man up stand on my own 2 feet a fight forward I'm gunna build my empire brick by brick, take my mom and brothers out of their positions and help them do better, getting them in shape. so we can finally be one. that's my last goal. yes its seams so simple but it gunna be a long tough road from here, but I'm ready I'm ready because I didn't say "NO" I kept going I sad yes and if I can endure all those years of torture and pain and dark times. I'm gunna be able to live my life, the way I want it, the way iv been fighting and struggling for it. I'm gonna finally be able to say this is mine, this is what I built this is me and who said "NO". while I'm living the American dream on the feta the land.

2021 RESOLUTIONS! LET THE EVOLUTION BEGIN!!
RV Sales Warriors; 2020 was the year of being totally DISCONNECTED FROM REALITY! The time disconnected has been an opportunity to personally reflect deeply on the lives we have created for ourselves! To much time has been spent reflected on the good, the bad, the pain, the misery, the successes!!

Strength is Survival
“Finish your supper and feed the horses. If you’re not back in fifteen minutes, you know what happens. Hurry on now.” My father is a complex man. He, my mother, and I live on our farm in what seems like miles from civilization. They homeschool me, feed me, clothe me, and abuse me. I’m seventeen now, and when I’m eighteen, I’ll be giving them the news that I’m leaving for the big city for more opportunity—in reality, it’s more like an escape. Life on our farm is difficult, especially for me, as I do most of the work myself while my mother gets high on drugs and father watches television. I bet mother was a beautiful woman once before the drugs consumed her day-to-day activities and stole her health like a thief.

Sipistoo saahkomaapi (Owl boy)
Today is a big day, he thought to himself as he watched the sunrise. Sipistoo saahkomaapi (Owl boy) had lived his entire life up to this point in comfort and safety with his brother, Niitsistowahsin nad, and sister, Insst nad, along with his parents. Their ookóówa nid (home) was in a tall, ancient oak tree, which was cozy, warm, and had housed his family for longer than anyone could remember. He came from a long line of Barn Sipistoo (owls) and their family stories went back generations. He sat for a moment proudly remembering the great tales told of his father, Inn nad, who was a mighty hunter. He thought about the evening before when everyone gathered after the hunt to eat and listen to the old stories.

Barn Storming
Despite what folks tend to think, the dancer that rattles around in a pea whistle ain’t a pea. It is a pea-sized ball of synthetic cork. It’s my job to know these things. I’m an Eagle Scout now. Too much spit when you blow, and the cork gets stuck. If it’s jammed in the wrong spot you can hardly make any sound at all.

The Sadhana of Therapeutic Writing
Writings are almost eternal! Whether it is fiction or philosophy, information from eons has reached us through literary works. Great thinkers across the planet have reformed the world through their literature. In the ancient world, whether saint or seeker, writing their perspective was a common practice. Hence, we come across all kinds of scriptures, from atheistic viewpoints to realizing this entire creation as the Divine.

The Ingredients of Grace
There is a coffee and bakery shop downtown in Xenia OH, known as the “City of Hospitality.” I found Coffee Hub the first week after I graduated and moved out of Women's Recovery Center back in February of 2018. WRC is a drug and alcohol treatment facility for women. That place saved my life, and this place that I’m about to show you made life more bright.

Secret to Success
John, a man in his early 40s, had struggled most of his life, having no college education, and working odd jobs just to keep his head above water throughout his adult life. He had many friends, though, all of which seemed to be very successful - owning houses and multiple expensive vehicles.

Why We Are Wrong About Motivation?.
Microsoft launched an encyclopedia in 1993, with lucrative incentives for writers and contributors, they hardly managed to publish 62,000 articles under the Encarta Trademark in various languages, including German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Proteaguse and Japanese. Despite all the incentives and resources, they finally decided to close it in 2009.

Out of my Comfort Zone
It's 14 days in into 2021, but it feels as it was longer. I knew that I wanted a change this year. I know that my efforts are scattered and not focused. I know that I need more discipline and motivation. I know that I need something that will carry me through the hard work and the tough days.

Redefining success during times of stress & adversity
In 2017, I was told by doctors that I would likely never walk again in a meaningful way. Three years and thurteen operations later, I have defied the odds, not only learning to walk again but also completing two 100km bike rides and achieving my CPA (certifed practicing accountant) from my hospital bed. I credit my adaptability and resilience and my ability to redefine my version of success, as being vital in the fight to regain control of my legs (and life) which I hope will help others reposition challenges in their own lives.
