Ever Lasting Victories


Two years ago I came to realize that I was extremely over weight. At my heaviest, I weighted 250lbs. I was not happy with my self and I wanted to change so badly. One lazy afternoon I decided that for now on I would work out and eat healthier to see if I would loose any pounds.

Surely enough I started to shed the pounds, my hard work was paying off. Now I roughly weigh 195lbs give or take a few. I continue to exercise on a regular bases to this day, but now my work outs include biking along with my routinely work outs on the treadmill.

I soon came to a revelation of sorts.  

If I stick at it long enough, I eventually get lucky. I will get what I wanted.

The other side of the story is, if I enjoy success long enough, I will make mistakes, and I will blow it.


Lasting success requires more than luck. Lasting success requires learning from mistakes and using what I have learned to move on to greater victories.
