My phone didn’t need to be charged twice a day.
I didn’t know what your baby was doing or what your plate of food looked like.
I thought of jokes and observations and I didn’t tell anyone.

There’s an old saying about when life throws you lemons. What no one tells you is that life is throwing those lemons as hard as it can right for your head.
Read MoreHow to be Manly-er.
It isn’t enough to just be a man now, you really have to assert your manliness onto others.
Now, you may think: “Oh I’m manly.”

Failure.
It’s part of life.
I’ve heard it said: you need to learn to fail if you want to succeed.
That failing makes you better.
I haven’t failed much in my life.
I don’t say that to be cocky or arrogant. I just have never been used to losing.
And that is exactly what failure feels like.
For the most part my sports teams were winners. I’ve always been good at almost everything I’ve picked up. I taught myself guitar and photography. I succeeded in school. I never applied to a college I didn’t get into. I graduated with a high GPA. I had a job out of college. I’ve been promoted and had business success.
You get the idea.
I’m not bragging. I’m just stating facts.
Another fact of this is that recently: I failed.
I won’t go into detail but I had a great opportunity and I failed to capitalize.
I know from here there are two directions. You can let failure define you. Or you can let failure motivate you.
The desire to prove them wrong has to outweigh the acceptance that they we’re right.
I’m not used to being in this position. I don’t like this position. But I can promise that from here on out I will do everything in my power to make sure I don’t find it again.
Failure is a part of winning.
I can’t be scared of it, but I also can’t let it be acceptable.
And I fully expect I will fail again.
Until then, for me, there’s only one way to go.
And there is only one way to get there.
Feel the Burn.
Your passion is like a fire. You’ve got to start it small. Kindling the first flames. As it grows load more logs on. Make it bright and make it big. Let it burn inside you and then let the world see.
