Not everyone is your friend. Real friends are rare. Not the ones who drink with you on Friday. Not the ones who only call when you're winning. I'm talking about the ones who show up at 3 AM with a shovel and no questions asked. The ones that tell you to your face when you're fucking up. The ones that answer the phone on the first ring when your life is falling apart. The ones that don't let detractors throw dirt on your name when you're not in the room. They clap for you louder than anyone when you're winning... ...and help you get back to winning when you're losing. Most importantly: They help you run over the roadblocks who stand in your way. Most people aren't built for that. They want the title of "friend" without the cost of loyalty. So if you have even one... You're wealthy. Here is the part everyone misses: You don't get friends like that without being that kind of friend first. Loyalty isn't something you find. It's something you live. ~ Andy Frisella

My boy has the best shoe game

For those who’ve followed my should journey, know that a little less than a month ago, I had rotator cuff surgery, with a few other complications. Well, as of 11:00 CST, no more brace! The orthopedist released me from the brace and is sending a message to my PT to start with weights. A huge thanks to everyone for their support and well wishes through out this journey. While it’s not over, I see the light at the end or the tunnel.

When average people encounter a problem... They react by slapping a band-aid solution over it and tell themselves it's "handled". Only it's not. It's postponed. So the same issue keeps coming back. The same frustrations. The same setbacks. The same excuses. Winners don't address their problems with temporary fixes. They address their problems with permanent solutions. Instead of asking themselves, "How do I get past this?" They ask themselves, "Why did this happen in the first place?" ...and because they take the extra time to identify the root of their problems... They don't only fix their problems... They evolve from them. Losers spend their entire lives repeating the same patterns over and over again. Winners learn the lesson... Solve the problem... ...and move on to bigger challenges. If you constantly find yourself dealing with the same problems... You're not unlucky. You're refusing to learn the lesson. Train yourself to solve and evolve. It's the only path forward. ~ Andy Frisella
