Struggles hurt.

Embracing them has always made me better.

Over time, I have realized that is the fun of it all.

When I struggle I look into the mirror.

1. I Face the truth
2. Define the meaning of my actions
3. Assess the tradeoffs to be made
4. Put it all in perspective

2021 will be no different.
I am excited to continue my story.

Every Day is Game Day.
Work hard & enjoy playing.
