It would be nice just to have the notoriety of endorsements, yet I’m not in it for the $$$$. I have spent tens of $1000’s already in this sport. I just can’t imagine getting enough to ever offset the financial cost, and I’m OK with that.

I would hope in some way tho, all this would inspire others to do something with their lives and realize there’s more to life then "beer and Ho Ho’s". I love this sport. I REALLY love it. It has given me so much in return just from the relationships that have been forged by it. It has helped me in my business and opened doors by the respect I get just from looking the way I do.

You really don’t have to be all that special to be a bber. You don’t have to compete to be a bber. You do need a PASSION TO LIVE tho. To live life as much as you can.

One of my favorite lines from a play is, "Auntie Mame", in which she, Mame, expressed her feelings to her nephew, who is reserved in his life, when she exclaimed to him passionately, " LIFE IS A BANQUATE!! AND MOST OF THE WORLD IS STARVING TO DEATH!!! LIVE! LIVE! LIVE!!!"

I have lived the life, in my past, of self doubt and fear, making excuses for my life and the pitiful way it was for many years. I was abused as a child that most could never imagine or rise from with any dignity. I have battled cancer as a young man with 4 small children and lost my home, business/job twice before age 40.

What made the difference? I CHOSE a different path. I stopped feeling sorry for myself. I realized that no matter what was thrown at me in this short mortal life, THAT LIFE WAS FOR LIVING! It is my choice to either wahler in self pity, OR rise above it and move into the future and live life to its fullest.

You have such a short time in this small sphere we call earth, and it can be taken from us in a moment. So LIVE each moment, and make it the BEST moment you have. It doesn’t have to be in bodybuilding to be your focus, yet in order to have happiness in your life, you do need balance.

All things in your life need its portion of attention, the spirit and foundation of your life, mental the learning and studying of life, emotional the positive feelings that validate your true self, and physical the doing of life, be it bbing, biking, power lifting etc. BALENCE IS THE KEY.

It goes by fast and with all that life has to offer, WHY SIT AROUND FEELING HOPELESS, HELPLESS, AND LIFELESS! LIVE! LIVE! LIVE!
