You ever have one day divide your life into before and after? September 30, 2018, was that day for me.
I was shot twice in my left leg. I survived, but nerve damage and foot drop changed the way I moved. People see me lifting weights now. They didn’t see the days I wondered if my leg would ever feel like mine again.
Eight years later, I still remember those days. They’re part of why it means so much when a client tells me, “CJ, I can do this again.”
And I know somebody reading this has a win they’ve been brushing off because it seems small. Walking farther. Moving with less fear. Getting back into a routine. Say it out loud you worked for that.
What’s one win you earned that nobody else saw? Drop it below so we can celebrate it with you.
Still here. Still moving. Still building.
