You Get Nothing if it’s Not On Paper
9 Years ago today I hit send with only one mission – To make more good than bad come from my daughters tragedy.
9 Years ago today I hit send with only one mission – To make more good than bad come from my daughters tragedy.
I no longer look at my birthday as the point of reference as to when I truly became alive in the timeline of my life.
When life throws you to your back, you need to know how not to get pinned, get off your back, and do enough to make up the difference to win.
The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief.
You win, or you learn.
Your intuition can see around corners and over mountains.
Once is a mistake. Twice is a choice.
I have never seen a wrestler who came off the mat placing blame or making an excuse ever wrestle his next match with a better outcome.
Have an unrelenting quest for a better life.
Most people mistakenly look at a wrestler who weighs his food and says he isn’t allowed to eat.
That is not true.
Mr.Passaro, two weeks ago I told my girlfriend about a book I thought I would like to read. Before I could order it myself she showed up at my apartment and had a surprise for me, it was your book “Every Breath Is Gold, Complete Series.”
I was very appreciative knowing she was thinking of me.
Although I was slightly disappointed because the book I was talking about was “Dominate.”
Twenty minutes ago I just finished the book. It only took me three days to finish it. That might not seem like a hard task for some except I have never read a whole book before in my life.
Your book has opened my eyes to many things.
Most importantly I realized my happiness does not depend on my situation, but what I make of it and what I learn from it.
Secondly, that coincidences in life aren’t meaningless.
This really hit me when I was toward the end of your book and came across the chapter titled “3 am Emails.”
This gave me a chuckle because here I am working the midnight shift in a tire factory and I can’t decide whether I should contact you or not.
The second I had seen the chapter title I knew what it was about and I knew I had to reach out to you. It was no coincidence that she had got me the wrong book, I was meant to read this.
There was a time I was sour about all of my past hardships and I’ve always thought about how different it would be if things went exactly as I hoped.
But now I know every one of them has taught me a lesson and better prepared me for my next obstacle.
I would like to say thank you from a fellow wrestler.
