Circle of Trust

Since I was a kid I have been struggling with socializing. I have always been a quiet and a shy guy. It got so bad that some people thought I’m an asshole just for not talking to them. This often prevented me from being a part of a group that I was interested in and really wanted to join. Very often I had great opportunities presented in front of me that I have passed on because I was not confident in myself. About 2 years ago I said to myself “enough is enough” and started working on myself. I started small, just by saying “hi” to people passing me on the street and slowly improved to a point where I could voice my opinion in front of multiple strangers. Then F3 happened and everything in my life blew up. All of a sudden I was part of a group of similar minded guys who hang out almost every morning and support each other no matter what. I’m not afraid anymore, because I know that I can talk to anyone of you and feel like I belong. And I thank you all for that.

Today I want you to think about the opportunities that we get in our life daily. Every choice we make is an opportunity. Stay in bed or get up early and workout in the cold outside? This question that you ask yourself before every post represents an opportunity. And I’m so glad that all of you guys took your opportunity this morning and showed up. Now when you go about your day today think about the choices you make and make sure that each and every one of them makes you better. Kobe once said: “All I want is to be better than I was yesterday”. And that is something I want to live by.

Thank you for coming here and supporting me on my VQ. Thanks to everyone who pushed me through my first two months here, they were hard. Special thanks to Gordons and Aladdin for getting me drunk and making me VQ before I leave for my long vacation.
