I know someone reading this is thinking
Monday, the week is just starting & I feel tired, worn down & not my best.

I would like to offer a word of encouragement & quick story about how one man not zoning out on a Monday changed my entire life.

👇👇👇

Guy on the far left is Kolby
the most positive, motivating man I have ever met!

I met him at the lowest point in my life:
- recently divorced & cheated on
- depressed & riddled with anxiety
- drinking uncontrollably
-149 pounds no muscle & less confidence
-suicidal thoughts :(

One Monday a friend who was concerned asked me to lunch.

I went & there was introduced to Kolby.
He was a personal trainer & full of life!
This dude talked to everyone, encouraged & thanked waiters & staff!
Complimented strangers!!

He seemed so happy to be alive!

He asked how I was doing & took a genuine interest in my story.

You know what dude, join me at the gym tomorrow!!
I lift with another guy at 515am it’ll be awesome brother we will get you jacked & alive again he boldly proclaimed!!

Whatever he had I wanted so I accepted!

The next morning him & another Greek God statue looking guy & me (couldn’t squat the bar!) started to lift!!

They encouraged me the entire time!

They both helped & continued to remind me it took years of consistency to get there but you’ll get it too!💪

Day by day, rep by rep!

For the next year he invited me to
“come lift again tomorrow” & I did each time!

I met dozens of friends at that gym.

I ended up getting certified as a trainer & loving fitness because I wanted to be like him!
I wanted his energy, physique, & confidence!
It was contagious!

That was 8 years ago.

This one man living with passion & purpose & his invitation to
“come lift tomorrow with me Ty” was the catalyst for my entire life changing🙏

I often think about Kolby when I want to have an average day & not pour into others.
Get through the day & exist.

How would my life look now if he had zoned out that day?
Where would I be?

Certainly not happily married,
with kids I love, full of zest, fire & gratitude & a healthy body!!

It takes 1 interaction!!
One smile!!
One compliment sometimes to turn someone’s entire life around!

Kolby did this for me & I’m forever grateful.

I now challenge myself & people I’m around to never have ordinary interactions!!

Be a light & be the best part of peoples day!

-Pour in & smile at everyone
-compliment others
-encourage people
-show empathy
-hold doors
-be kind

So this Monday I assure you,
You will come across someone that needs the best you to pour in!

They may be hurting & needing just that one kind invite, voice, smile or encouragement!!

Be that person all day today & everyday & let’s change the world one interaction at a time! 👊

3) Get accountability!

@devinmcdermot said

“Its amazing how it affects & destroys almost every aspect of your life.
Relationships, depression & loneliness etc.
Porn affects all these things and people don't realize it.”

I saw this & messaged two of my best friends I was done!

Men seeking other men for help is a taboo thing & shouldn’t be!

I told 2 brothers that night, I never thought I had a problem, it was just occasional, all guys did it...

That was a lie,
It was harmful!

I came clean & told them.
It was a weight off my chest!
I wasn’t alone now!

4) You’ll hate this, but if you want to quit, do what it takes.

Tell your wife or S/O.

It’s not easy.
Real men, honorable ones, like you want to become do hard things.

I told my wife the truth.
I wanted her to be the only woman I ever:
-looked at
-fantasized about
-dreamt of

Transitioning out of full time bank management & reflecting a bit on the journey.

Here’s my favorite story I had with a jerk client a few years ago :)

(I’ve since grown as a human & probably wouldn’t do this today..

but he may have deserved it 😉you guys tell me!)

👇👇👇

This super grumpy gentleman walks in his late 40s.
He came in a couple times week & had a complaint every time.

He had filed a complaint before we had too many handicapped parking spots?

I know you know the type :)

That day he walks in & says I want to speak to a manager!!

I say that’s me man come in to my office.

He proceeds to tell me one of my tellers has been stealing from him for months.

I ask which one & he says,
“That black one, she’s a thief.”

My jaw must have hit the floor.
I had one employee that fit that description.

My dads a really smart man.

✅Read a book a week for 30 years!
✅Can fix anything!!
✅Socially strong & networks well!
✅Great leader!

He never moved up in his company.

I recently asked him why & the answer he gave me brought me to tears!!

Man I love my dad ❤️🙏

He told me at 25 he had given up drinking for good.

His father was an abusive alcoholic & he was on the same path until he met Jesus at 24 & I was born :)

He didn’t go to college.
He married my mom at 18 to escape his childhood & at 18.5 they were pregnant with my sister.

He had to grow up fast & took a job at an auto parts store at 18.

He was quickly promoted & promoted again to assistant manager by 20.

At 23 he was promoted to manager & running his entire shop!!

The money was good, but the hours weren’t.
55-60 hour weeks.

I TOLD MY BOSS LAST WEEK I WANTED TO RESIGN FROM RUNNING MY BRANCH & WORKING 45 HOURS A WEEK! 🗣

🧱6.5 years of grinding in the making!!

I’ll never retire, but now I have 25 extra hours a week to CHOOSE what I spend it on!!

Here’s a thread on how we accomplished this!
👇 👇

First off I say WE accomplished this because my wife has been alongside me from day one!!🙏❤️

So young men,

🔥Marry a woman that loves you & wants to spend TIME WITH YOU not just spend your money!!

It’s the biggest decision you make choosing her!
CHOOSE WISELY!!

Dr Billy Alsbrooks said,
“When your WHY for overcoming is greater than the obstacle, that obstacle ceases to exist!”

The moment I got into corporate management my WHY to get out was strong!

I am grateful for the job:
-benefits
-good pay
-home for dinner
-relationships I’ve made

I was asked yesterday on a coaching call how I’m always positive :)

This has been an intentional choice & something I’ve worked hard at for years now!

🙏You can’t be grateful & grumpy at the same time!!

🔥I curate my entire life around positivity.

Strategies I use: 🧵
👇👇

❌I never watch sad movies or horror movies.
If I’m watching movie it’s going to inspire or educate me.

❌I never listen to sad music.
All praise music that floods my soul.
I dance & sing often too :)

❌I don’t follow toxic people.
Only Champs that inspire me on my timeline!💪

❌I don’t follow politics or the news at all.
My wife said on Jan 25th something about President Biden & I had no clue he had been inaugurated 🤷
He’s President now?!

Maybe that’s bad,
but I feel I affect the most change in the world from within myself, my home & my community.
