You cannot build a brand you have not positioned.
Position it. Message for it. Then build it.

TRUTHSEEKERS, ONLY 👇🏽 ◇ First, share this with a fellow leader. Maybe they need it. If you'll allow me: You can build a legacy, earn millions, help millions, but there will be a moment where you will no longer feel yourSELF and you'll need a clear, clean, quiet space to reconnect to your core consciousness. A client of mine was just before a huge decision in his life. He was faced with a lot of pressure and no matter what he tried, his mind didn't shut down. Considering his position and exposure, he felt that there was noone he could confide in and bounce his ideas off of. Noone to hold him accountable, support him in making a decision that was ALIGNED with the 5 commandments. (If you know, you know, and if you don't: you need me). Noone to push him to radical ownership but also hold compassionate space and offer insights that came from thousands of hours of meditation and building a legacy. Questions came up like: ◇ HOW do I make this decision? ◇ What choice will bring me RESPECT? ◇ WHO are my friends in this? Who my opponents..? ◇ WHAT the hell am I even doing???!! Fears came up. Not just from this decision, but deeper. Fears that went all the way back to his childhood and how he was abandoned. Fears of falling prey to the same disrespect. And finally, tears. Tears of frustration, anger and then RELEASE. Free of it, he was able to use my bullet-proof tool, to make that decision. And he found his answer, which is now leading him to a huge expansion. It was so much more than just sharing secrets. This is the INNER WORK we must do, to start PLAYING REALITY FROM A META-PHYSICAL LEVEL. And if this spoke to you, then send me the word "CHRONOS", privately. We have legacies to build and fulfilling lives to create. #WERISETOGETHER

[Read to End, Save & Share 🙏🏿] Becoming “your best self” is a product of looking and acting according to God’s highest design for your life. Not the fallen and unhealthy you, but the unadulterated, blood-washed, divine you. 
This is what God had in mind. The journey to “Your best self” passes through your spiritual, relational and physical (including mental) health. Divine stewardship is not only about money & sex, it’s also about honoring everything God has given you, including your body. We forget the fall not on only impacted our souls, but it also distorted the healthy & divinely intended function and look of our minds, bodies & relationships… 
This is why working out is an act of worship. In this portion of our conversation I share a story of how I completely fell off health wise at the beginning of my career (working around the clock, no sleep, no working out and it showed) and the person who recruited me gave me a wake up call because when she saw me in the office she said she barely recognized me (because of how unhealthy I looked). God didn’t have this version of myself in mind when He made me. And God didn’t have the unhealthiest version of yourself in mind when He made you. Commit to changing today or rather, commit to returning to yourself. In scripture, the prodigal son is described as returning to himself, when he came home. Interestingly, in the book of James one who does not obey God’s word is akin to one who looked in the mirror and forgot what he/she looked like. Obedience in how we steward our lives, physically, spiritually and relationally is the only way to look like the person God had in mind when He made you. May the Holy Spirit help you and I to return to ourselves in spite of ourselves in Jesus’ Name, we pray, Amen and Amen.

Facts: You will give God the most glory when you’re completely honest about your story. The goal is not for you to make yourself interesting, it’s for you to help people become interested in God. Until you embrace your *full* story, there are people who will not believe their story is worthy because they’re freedom was connected to you accepting that yours is/was.
 “Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope.” 1 Peter 3:15

And when you give the explanation, tell the truth.

PSA: Your fatigue and clouded mind is not normal. But the good news is you can change things 💪🏿 [Keep Reading] God cares about how your body functions. And it is not only a product of what you put out (exercise), it’s a product of what you put in (nutrition) and what you’re in (environment). [Keep Reading - data & practical guidance below]

We forget the fall not on impacted our souls, it distorted the healthy and divinely intended function of our minds, bodies and relationships (not only with people but also food). Greed and a lack of love of neighbor also contributes to the dangerous substances approved to even be consumed by us. So, do any of these symptoms below look familiar to you? - Mood Changes and Depression: Both men and women may experience mood swings, irritability, and a higher risk of depression due to low testosterone levels (Harvard Health). - Fatigue and Lack of Energy: Persistent fatigue and a general lack of energy are common symptoms, making daily tasks and physical activities more challenging (Endocrine Society). - Reduced Muscle Mass and Strength: Low testosterone can lead to a noticeable decrease in muscle mass and strength, affecting physical performance and overall energy levels (Mayo Clinic). - Decreased Libido and Sexual Dysfunction: Low testosterone can cause reduced libido and sexual dysfunction, impacting intimate relationships and overall quality of life (Cleveland Clinic). 
[+] Practical guidance: If you need a general overview for nutrition and exercise as a brother, happy to share on with you, just send me a message. [+] Highly recommend my brother in the faith @iamandrew.hill as a great follow, who shares his own stack and practical tools for brothers getting their divine physical function right.
