Hey people, hope all is going well in your lives and blessings are falling from the sky like raindrops. I have a lot on my plate these days and it's about to get crazier. But before we get into that, I want to talk about one of the most used phrases you hear in life. The phrase "One day" is used by ambitious people that see a goal and are determined to achieve it. One day i'll have a nice car, a house, i'll travel, become a doctor or lawyer, and one of the phrases I hear the most, "One day i'll be a champion".
It all starts with a single thought, the beginning of a journey that for some may actually take a lifetime. There is no timeline for achieving your goal, the only idea you will ever need is that no matter what, you will never quit chasing your dream. Spend each moment embracing your journey and conquering your obstacles. The pursuit is never easy but the fruits of your labor will endure a lifetime.
Your goals will evolve and change and grow, they will seem out of reach and impossible at times. You will uncover potholes and discouragement but this is only so rough because it is the path less traveled. Success and achievement are not supposed to be easy. If you can adapt and stay focused you will not be denied. Be relentless!

In my case I just wanted to teach Muay Thai and learn a little MMA and boy did it take a life of it's own. Although I have far exceeded anything I ever thought probable or possible, the goals I achieved aren't my "one day" achievements. I know that sounds strange, but the thing I've wanted most in my life is to have what I had when I was young. I had a family. Before the alcohol took my grandfather and before the crack epidemic that pulled the men in my family out into the streets, it was my happiest time. I always thought that one day I would have that again, and now I am about two months away from welcoming my little girl into the world and I am stoked. The road has been a long one, love has been won and lost but all of it has been leading up to this. I managed to get lucky (no pun intended) and fall in love with someone that knows and understands me and in the process got to practice fatherhood in a crash course. With another girl coming into the house I am going to be terribly outnumbered and I am absolutely okay with that. How can I complain about my life, i'm being given a chance to have the one thing that has eluded me, I get to have my "One day"!!!
