United By Stoke is RAVEN 425

Today I awoke to my good friend writing a blog post article about myself and our tag team duo in a Crossfit competition we took part in. We went into the RX division which is for bigger stronger athletes me 125 pounds Simon 160 pounds. We were the smallest guys in there. Smaller than most female teams actually. We had no business being there- but what kept us in the game and almost making the fina...

Going forward with that mental mindset verbal tongue 👅 slashing I've been going on about for the last few episodes- I follow it up with a movie I stumbled upon in some late night down time. The Pursuit of Happiness- hot damn! So I speak on -counting your blessings - doing what it takes - and only you can depend on you- No one is going to save you!! To be aware of all the lessons and good things a...

After putting all those hours and time - blood -sweat - and tears 😭..... yes there were many night's of tear's wondering what the phuck I was doing and why the phuck was I doing it!! FACTS- on the flip side I only had my strength mindset and word and I kept them all. I went with out for years! I lived in my own closet pretty much while I rented out all the other rooms in my house - this so I coul...

A furtherance of my thoughts and understanding due to some weird habits that were instilled into me while living with my parents - this actually did end up helping me out as I pursued my dream goal and aspirations as I aged. I was able to turn those habits into money saving ways - which allowed me to go further with less - while putting all my efforts into my passion!!👊🙌always take the negatives...

Coming up as a kid in an immigrant house hold there were a lot of things that were just a NO GO - leaving lights on - using the dryer- running the water too long using the dishwasher ... I mean it went on and on. Today I still implement all those habits - The reason I actually found this helpful as I grew up and being on my own at such a young age... is that I spent less and saved more money for m...

How the mental wiring of not having the safety - security and that sense of a warm cozy blanket aka -of a pay 💰 check every 2 weeks actually helped me mentally physically and emotionally develop a hustle that I never knew I would need on the day to day basis of this thing called life. It helped me be able to digg deeper - go further on less - go without all for the purpose of achieving and trying...

It’s all about the journey- yup actually enjoying the day by day- not just the destination you think you may one day achieve 😳because who knows where the phuck this road called life will take us - I can remember wanting to only perform in front of packed crowds - and guess what there were a ton of times there was only the staff and a few people in the club- in my mind I was disappointed 😔- but m...

When we start anything I think we as humans never really understand what it will take and even how long it will truly take - because along this journey called life the endgame changes constantly 😳👊 -so when we start something -a business- a goal- a plan- make sure you are in love with it - truly believe in it - and want it so bad that nothing will ever deviate you from the plan - We are all huma...

A little tale of an amazing learning opportunity the universe provided for me in a chance meeting I had with an elderly women at a gathering- her words struck my soul and brought tears to my eyes- I am forever humbled and thankful for her words...having said that I still struggle with trying to execute on them as the programming that is in us is so deep and truly stubborn as Phuck- to knock out of...

On this rant I have to admit my usual verbal onslaught of game right venom is subdued by the feeling that still lurks in my heart ❤️ after viewing a based on real events movie about the Reservation of North America and the women that live on them. I was disturbed at what I saw and even more so after digging deeper into my own research- how have a group of people been left to rot on pieces of land...

If you can learn just one thing to truly help change your mindset - I would strongly suggest it to be meditation 🙏the reason for this is a simple one strong mind = strong everything else. In the end this saying is true "if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything" So how do we learn to stand for something... it's by beginning to know ourselves and how to we do that... by taking aw...

I go off on this one ☝️- so close to my heart ❤️ -I have rubbed elbows with some people who believe they are above others - or maybe they have issue but irrelevant to the fact that Kindness is Free so Sprinkle that Shit Everywhere - it absolutely disgusts me in my soul for those who either are in power or have more of something than someone else to snub someone else they perceive to be bellow them...

What we allow into our realm 💫✨ our reality our personal space and our energy area. I go into a little babble a little verbal for play about how at one point I was so unaware of what I was putting into my system from food, self Talk, media, music and fast forward to now when I have some self awareness to realize I also have to protect myself from those around me - the ones still telling the same...

Pay 💰 attention to whom is putting the food on your plate and what is on it and the portion size🙌. In this episode I go into yet another babbling ramble on the importance of the awareness of what is being put in front of us to eat if we are not the ones preparing the meal 🥘- to not just blindly put hand to mouth 👄 while watching TV 📺- to be on the same health page as your partner as you age a...

Boom 💥 I was schooled in such a positive way so in this episode I go off on the 2 facts that 1- there is no teacher and there is no student 2- we should all walk though life as a kid in a candy store - To always be curious, learning, inquisitive, excited, and attentive to this one phucking amazing life we are living and a part of. Those around us have things to teach us and to learn from us -and...

Booom 💥I go off as per usual on yet another lesson the universe provided me with - a look back to where my mindset once was and this lesson also reminded me of how important it is to keep your head in this positive space- the lesson was the mindset of that dark cloud that is always raining over your head mindset - you know the one that even if it is the most perfect day outside our mind which is...

In this episode I speak on my own mind phuck and maybe most of you as well- after many years of trying to figure this one out I still struggle with it. The way too Much and the exact opposite off way too little. If you are self employed an entrepreneur or have a side hustle or are starting a side business then you know exactly what I am talking about. It's absolutely amazing how the mind goes back...

Ohhh boy! I go off on rant a jant and a jaunt a whole lotta pondering and wondering why so many choose to follow what either society has planned out for them or their family or they just do it because that is what they think is expected of them. Even if that "thing" they are doing does not make them happy and to add insult to the injury they talk it up or "fake the funk" to those around like 'hey...

In this episode I speak or as usual rant on about a topic near and dear to my heart ❤️ something that I have suffered from or through and somewhat overcame and share the story- the struggles- the success with you in hopes that it resonates with you and helps you to grow as well. Today I speak about the "letting ourself go" when we are unhappy 😔 in our relationship and then magically when that end...

In this episode I speak about the ever so important Mr Honda. I watched and read about this very interesting and very inspiring human who had an idea ran with it - got knocked down and got back up numerous times all the while never giving up on his dream and passion the direction may have changed a few times along the way but he stayed the course- his success came later in life and there are many...

In this episode I ramble on about never giving up -having a focus a goal an end point you are striving to reach and then never giving up or stopping until you get or find your desired success- if it's health wealth love business schooling spots music art - life is about the long game go get yours and never take anyone else word as the gospel 🔥🔥👊🙌

In this episode I speak about the enigmas behind certain practices in the world today-how we all have an idea or judgement of the watered down version of that practice-what if we looked at the origins

In this sexy little rant I speak on how in my knowledge seeking I took in a lot of opinions as the gospel without doing the research- not a good way to acquire knowledge or to find out who you are 🙄🤔

In my latest rant I speak on my personal experience of how I spoke to myself internally and still sometimes do- we are our own worst critic and we are only human be kind to yourself u r your #1 fan 🙌👊

In this episode I speak about how important it is to be in awe every morning to wake up and be great full- I can remember back when that was not the case and I compare that to now- it's life changing
