The chaos of life can be overwhelming. I attribute my resilience to my study of stoicism. The lessons I learn from stoic philosophy are incredible and immeasurable. Meditations had provided me tremendous insight. No, it is not a book of cheat codes, but it does contain valuable information and tactics to navigate the rough waters of life. Every day is a challenge. I can make a list of obstacles I’m facing before bed and I would wake up to 10 more things to add. But for me surrender is not an option. Stoic philosophy helps me keep my resolve in times of uncertainty. My life has been anything but ideal. Many times I have wanted to give up. I literally just had a moment of weakness. But I know that nobody is going to make things the way I want them to be except me. I can only resent myself if I stay where I am and continue living without making any changes. I have to make my life what I want it to be. The universe isn’t going to chase my dreams and accomplish my goals for me.

I used heroin for 20 years searching for peace, purpose, and freedom — but nothing filled the void. In 2023, I was baptized in Jesus’ name, and everything changed. Now I help Christian men break free from addiction, self-sabotage, and spiritual stagnation through Biblical truth and mindset renewal. My program, Transformed by Truth, was built for men ready to break the cycle and step into their God-given purpose. Jesus transformed me into the man I always knew I could be — and He can do the same for you. Follow if you're ready to grow in your faith, renew your mind, and become the leader God created you to be. View more posts
