Life used to be a dark and twisted road… I can remember it like yesterday and at the same time it seems so far off and alien to me.
I used to see the world as a violent and hostile place, full of competition, struggle and strife. I thought life was hard like a giant rock and lived by the saying it is what it is. I still believe in that saying but in a different way now. I understand what it means. But that's not what I will get into in this post. In this post I will tell you about the life changing transformation I have gone through.
A journey to Heaven through Hell as I like to call it.
I believe that we all go through hard times in life, situations arise for us to overcome and grow through into more powerful people. I also believe that we must learn to let go of these situations in order to achieve success. I believe this after witnessing my own life as well as countless others who've overcome insurmountable odds. I also have seen that the harder you fall the harder it is to get back up… But once you do get back up you become near impossible to knock back down.
As I like to say you go from being a wad of cookie dough to being carved out of wood. But you grow compassion and understanding and become life sustaining like a giant Oak Tree.
So where do I begin on this story of Transformation? What was it like going through hell in order to find heaven?
I’ll give you a quick recap of the “dark days†as I’ve come to call them. For nearly ten years I was an I.V. drug user and suffered from all sorts of psychological disorders. Never diagnosed, but my life could only be described as insanity. I think that a lot more people live with insanity than we admit, most people do in fact.
To spend nearly forty years hunched in a nine to five job un-happy and given nothing at the time of retirement when compared to what you’ve given to the job, that’s insanity. It’s a sad way of life most people live and I can tell you it’s not for me and never has been.
>>>>Stop The Grind
But back to the story, I struggled for a long time with addiction and periods of suicidal depression. It was hell on earth; the drugs consumed me and nearly killed me. For years this went on and was a miserable way of life.
There are so many people who live a similar life just not as extreme as me. The “weekend warriors†the “workaholics†and the general people who are afraid of change are all addicted to two things.
COMFORT and SECURITY
People have become comfortable and secure in mediocrity and routine. The fact of the matter is that life should not be mundane and boring. Life should be fun, exciting, and full of adventure… Don’t you agree?
Adventure doesn’t have to be my idea of adventure... Everyone is different, for some of you it could be a week in India with your sweetheart, or taking your kids to Disneyland whenever you feel like it. Basically adventure should be things that spark new and fun emotions and create awesome memories.
You know what I mean? Imagine taking that trip you wanted forever… Maybe you're at the coast and you feel the most amazing rays of sunshine as warming your skin… Or maybe not, maybe in the mountains and you just the"CRACK" as you stepped on a stick and scared some furry little animal as it scurries off into the brush.
It’s whatever you can see as your ideal life and day, the feeling of freedom, and the sounds of victory. You know what I’m talking about right? Your greatest vision, imagine that accomplished.
Well I longed for that for years that sense of fulfillment, but always struggled with so many aspects of my life. I was always having problems in my relationships, fought weight and health issues, and seemed to be running out of money all the time.
Can you relate to any of this?
We all go through various problems in life and face obstacles and challenges. The Key is what we do in the face of these obstacles. It took me 31 years to realize that…
I had to change so I left California to Alaska with the dream of being a Bering Sea crab fisherman. It was the most un-realistic dream ever. I was 100 pounds overweight, I was lazy, and I was scared. I hadn’t found heroin yet, but I had been addicted to various other substances. No reason to go into detail.
Motor Yacht Was a Chef On - She's Called the Liseron
Against the odds, with friends and family doubting me I left… I landed a job on a boat as a cook and through the process I became the head chef of a very nice small cruise ship. I also began to lose weight and kept the end vision in mind of achieving a huge dream in life. The biggest dream I ever had, imagine accomplishing your most wild dream, you can. I promise you that if your mind can conceive it and believe it you can achieve it.
Me Holding Two Big King Crabs
Throughout this time I found Heroin, throughout this time I lost myself…
And throughout this time I landed a job on a Bering Sea Crab boat, I lost 100 pounds, and became an accomplished chef. I also went through failed relationship, after failed relationship. I lost faith in myself and I watched my best friend Overdose and die in front of me…
Life was an up and down rollercoaster of extreme highs and lows, but I always took action and went for new opportunities. I never stopped trying and developed a new dream… Freedom from addiction, I remember watching the movie Trainspotting and dreaming of standing on the West Minster Bridge free from drugs and worry… Healthy, wealthy, and full of life.
By March of last year I was in the worst shape of my life, dark and twisted on the verge of death with no hope… Life was getting impossible.
My mother and sister had given up on me. I was at the lowest of my life with no were to go, broke and hopeless I remember when the phone rang, and I remember my brother on the other line… I had seen him once in thirteen years. He asked me “What are you doing with your life? Why aren’t you trying harder? When are you going to decide to truly live?†I tried to bullshit him and he called me on it…
It was at that time that everything changed… I asked him to save my life.
Four days later I was on a plane to Kentucky from California. I spent the next month in isolation in a house in the woods about 20 miles away from anything. It was hell, but it led me to heaven. I came to terms with a lot of stuff from the past. I made the decision to take action in life and become the best person possible.
This was in March of last year. For the last 18 months I have gone through a total transformation of body, mind, and soul. I remember last October when I first found what I do now… I had been sober for a little over six months, and was struggling with depression. I came across a video on YouTube while searching for the Secret, it led me to my friend and Mentor.
I found Empower Network, I decided to join. I had to make a decision and I did, I decided to try something new, it was the best choice I ever made. I have become awakened now; I am healthier than I ever have been… I have quit working on boats, and have been traveling through Europe for the last six months. I actually just got done riding mountain bikes with a friend across England, it was amazing. I get paid to blog, and work from a laptop… Life has become a dream; I got to meet the most amazing people who made me get inspired to action.
Two months ago I saw the biggest dream of my life come true… Remember the one about being clean and sober in London… That happened. I had that dream for almost ten years.
Now I am totally free, and live a life that movies are made about… All because one morning I made the decision that there was more. Now I live to help others, I travel the world, make money online, and inspire others like yourself that all of your dreams are possible.
I have seen so many amazing things in life, and I can’t stand it now when I see someone who has given up on their dreams. I will help you if you are ready for a better way of life. If you are ready for change, for more, for peace, joy, and freedom… Then I will help achieve these things, as long as you listen and do exactly what I say.
