ATTACK the PROCESS. STACK another day.

Another great lesson from a former student… Coach Ray is always looking to add value to others .. 👏😊❤️👍🏻

Written on Day 50 of 75 Hard. It’s been a journey filled with challenges, growth, and transformation. Each moment has shaped me, teaching lessons I didn’t know I needed. I’m unfinished - never finished. Every experience is a chance to learn, adapt, and emerge stronger. Looking back, I see a path of resilience and determination. Like the blank page, life is exhilarating and full of potential. My story isn’t over. It’s being written, one day at a time. Today is always day 1, page 1. I’m ready to face whatever comes next with courage and conviction. I used to let fear control me— avoiding people, avoiding life, avoiding the unknown letting opportunities slip by. Fear had me paralyzed, worrying about everything. But then I made a decision: Nothing changes until I do. I’m no longer afraid. Now, I chase fear. It’s the path to growth. I know my worth. Fear fuels my BURN. I embrace deliberate discomfort. It makes me stronger. Better. It’s not about courage— it’s about ownership. Fear no longer calls the shots— I do. Every challenge is an opportunity. I trust myself to meet them with Intention Passion and Purpose. My mind is no longer ruled by doubt. Where there was apprehension and avoidance, is now decisive action. Where fear ruled, resilience reigns. This isn’t just a shift in mindset— it’s a declaration of strength. I’ve embraced the struggle, turned discomfort into power, and now, I shape my future instead of fearing it. I know who I am, and I know what I’m capable of. Take ownership, Connect to your BURN, harness the fire, and watch your life transform. The power to change your life begins with a single decision—to stop letting fear dictate your path. When you reclaim your power, step into discomfort, and take ownership of your journey, you’ll realize that growth, strength, and purpose are waiting on the other side. Your future isn’t shaped by fear—it’s shaped by you.

As I keep putting myself in what has always been uncomfortable for me, I continue to see new opportunities enter my life within just a week or two. Now I’m taking the chance on myself to apply to these positions. I’m fairly qualified as I have the background too take that next step in my career. My confidence has kept me back and I let the fears hit and the overthinking consumes me. A month ago I would not even consider looking for something new and better. But having the burn to help athletes improve their tennis or pickleball game drives me. I can’t give what I believe anyone I work with deserves at my current environment. Life is about to get crazy as I persist and see what’s next.

Hi, my name is Patricia. I am 48 years old and I have spent the last 47 years pretty much wasting my life. I have always felt that I was not good enough strong enough capable enough to have a better life. Somehow, I learned to believe I didn’t deserve more no matter how hard I worked I wouldn’t be able to make anything of my life even as a child. I do not recall having self love for myself. I didn’t even feel like I could take care of myself. I always thought I needed somebody else to help. Take care of me. I definitely played the victim role, I obviously became comfortable there because every time I would start to go for more in my life stand up for myself believe I deserved better all too quickly. I would run back to that. I was not good enough. I do not have very much that I am proud of in my life. I have two children and two grandchildren. I am very happy to have them in my life but I do not feel I was a good role model for them not physically or mentally I credit my mom and dad for helping me care for them. I believed I couldn’t do it on my own on October 25, 2021 We got the diagnosis that my partner of 18 years had pancreatic cancer The reason I say 47 years wasted was because I got to stand by his side as I watched him suffer and fade away. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, but it is also probably one of the most proudest things I’ve done standing by him till his last breath holding him in my arms as his spirit left his body on October 14, 2022 he didn’t even make it a year and that was with them finding it at stage one. He is not the only one that died that day I dug myself into the darkest hole of my life. I had no faith in life or God at all anymore most days I didn’t even want to be alive and wouldn’t you know it nine months later, I would lose my stepson that I helped raise to addiction that broke me pretty much I blamed myself question if I could’ve been there more for him that I wasn’t the only one that lost TONY and was in pain shortly after that I ended up in the hospital for four months needless to say my health mentally and physically was on a downward spiral. I felt like I was on a roller coaster nightmare that I couldn’t get out of.
