Nearly a decade ago, a friend of mine wrote the following to me during a period of change, depression and grief that I was experiencing. It was the worse year of my life but what he said stuck with me, even after all the years that have passed.

I hope this resonates with someone today. If you’re reading this, rise up and keep going. You’ll be ok…

"Loss breaks us because we dwell on the thought of what might have been. What could have been accomplished but wasn’t. Understand that all those possibilities are a false perception. They never existed. Merely ideas that we create based on assumption.

However, what is for certain is that you are where you are destined to be…at a crossroads. A choice that revolves around no one but you and your own determination. Loss is either the moment that breaks you or the cornerstone on which you build your empire. The poetic beauty in it is that the greatest champions were made from the ashes of failure and loss.

You have been freed of someone else’s baggage and lack of divisiveness. Now you can focus on your success and building a life for your daughter that you want. Fuck what anyone else says. Make the choice to choose your own self worth over anyone else’s opinions.

We have shared many conversations and many sincere moments my guy. This is not the end of your journey. Simply, the moment that sparked the rise of a champion."
