HOW I TRANSFORMED MY GARAGE INTO A GYM: COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH

HOW I TRANSFORMED MY GARAGE INTO A GYM: COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH

Let’s talk about life for a minute.

Isn’t life in general just interesting? I mean, think about yours, and what twists and turns it has made. Those things you may have lost, learned, or picked up along the way. All of those problems that seemed so big at the time, or seem big right now. All of those defining moments when you were lost in the beauty and brilliance of nature, or maybe it was a Christmas with friends, or a Sunday football game and barbecue with family.

That’s the stuff of life. The solid nuggets that get embedded in your soul, and when they are thrown in a furnace, the gold is revealed.

I always loved the saying “Life’s a Beach”, because it’s so true.

What to do when you are not fulfilled at your job: 5 ways to find your purpose again

Several years ago, I came into the den in my house, and wept. I had just got off work from my job on second shift, but really I was working much more than that. It was about 2:30 am. My life had come to a crossroads and I needed to figure out what was going on. I was 30 pounds overweight, had $55,000 in debt, and the job I was in was sucking every last amount of energy I had.

I had hit rock bottom in my life, for the third time.

  • The first time I was in High School and decided to put a gun in my mouth and end it all - (17 years old)

  • The second time was when I was in the Navy in the middle of the Pacific Ocean - (22 years old)

The 5 biggest regrets every man must learn to avoid

My car recently broke down on the side of the road.

I tried to call a couple people to come and get me, but it’s pretty typical that when you really need someone they aren’t available.
