No man should grow old and die without ever knowing the beauty of strength and physical fitness that's available to each and every able-bodied person. Especially MEN!! There are no excuses that suffice. There are no reasons that relieve that burden of truth. This post is both an inquiry, as well as a means to cull those who have no intention of engaging with this community. Quality is more important than quantity of members. I want this platform to consist of men of action... With physical fitness being the foundational base required to carry the burden of being a complete man, what is your personal level of physical fitness and readiness? What are you doing to improve upon those skill sets?

I recently decided to take a job in construction to increase my income during this time of great opportunity. With the laziness epidemic, combined with the sweeping wave of arrests of those who don't belong in our country, the fruit is ripe for the picking. Pun, intended. Right now, there is a great window to learn new skills and build a business in the process, within a few years. In Austin, a plumber could become a millionaire in a year, there's so much work! There is absolutely no reason for any young man to be broke, lost and struggling. In life, there will be pain. Either you will suffer the pain of working hard towards what you want, or you will suffer the pain of trying to dig yourself out of the hole. Your choice!!!

Life can change with one choice. What choices have you made in your life that have resulted in drastic alteration of your course? What choice would change your life today, if you only made it and stood behind it? What's stopping you?

When I was a young man, I would pray and ask God for certain favors. Like most people, I used prayer as a celestial wishing well and generally asked for very specific outcomes. More often than not, I'd get the result I desired and immediately forget about God. As I got older, the complexity and seriousness of my prayers intensified. More and more, I asked that my will be done, and protection be given to me throughout whatever dangerous, stupid idea I had taken up. Remarkably, I would come out the other side of danger, almost unscathed apart from the fear having to face the music. And still, I learned nothing. During the most trying time of my life, I was on the run from police and probation. Years of bad decisions had culminated in a hole that there was no talking my way out of. I was back in jail, facing 99 years in prison, again! All the letters, pleas and promises fell on deaf ears. Even I had come to the realization that I was lying...to everyone. At that moment, I stopped asking for what I wanted and asked for His will be manifested in my life. Immediately, things began to happen in my life that I did not want, AT ALL! Almost as quickly, I resorted back to asking for things I wanted in life. The seal was already broken. None of those prayers were answered and I would eventually turn my back on God and faith, altogether. I spent the next few years studying every other religion as if to make my God jealous. Because my prayers weren't answered to my liking, I went on a campaign to destroy the faith of any Christian I encountered. This would continue for over a decade. I gladly served the darkness in my actions, while doing the devil's work. I was rewarded for my service and my "success" blinded me to the truths that I was missing. I had turned my back on God for not giving me what I wanted. Little did I know the necessity of those denials. It wasn't until I was blessed with the vision to see what I had been given in place of what I so desperately begged Him for that I finally understood the power of "unanswered prayer."
