Has your idea of personal and profesional success changed over time? Why?
Sometimes I wish I could have a do over. My perspective on life has changed a lot. Esp since graduating college.
I wish I just had that mindset to be a selfmade business man. I rely on the man for a paycheck and to define my self worth by how much he pays me and what I can and cannot afford.
Sometimes I feel like the only thing I have control over in my life is bodybuilding. I control every aspect of it. Eating, lifting, supplements. That's why im pretty darn good at it.
The social stigma of bodybuilding always gets me down. When you walk around at 5*6 235. People usually know what the deal its. If they only really knew what it entailed they would view it more as an asset then a negative.
Not a lot of people have the mental tuffness to do this shit. that's why majority of the worlds population looks like shit. and turn to drugs and alcohol.
I was this point in my life right now in my mid to late 20s and recently everything was taken away from me like literally all my possessions I worked hard to obtain. So yes I've had to change my perspective to still remain somewhat happy but in all honesty I'm not content with a mediocre life. It just sucks that someone whom I trusted wants to ruin my life because their feelings are hurt. K I'm done ranting now.Yes. When I was high school aged til mid 20's, women, money, and image were very important to me....almost to the point of obsessing over them. When it came to women, I wanted the more the better. With money I felt I'd do anything to get it. I had to look good and drive a good looking car or I didn't feel 'cool'. To me, having these things meant success.

I'll give you a short and sweet version as I already typed a 5000 word narrative to my attorney.story time?
OP, for me, success used to mean the wife, the kids, and the white picket fence...a solid career, debts paid off, and money in the bank.
now that im older (25), it means everything listed above except for the wife LOL

I was living with gf for 2 years
Relationship as rocky but we stayed together despite our senseless arguments
We went to school together and both were involved in cannabis
She goes to someone on campus says she wants to leave but doesn't know how/scared says I have guns which I would use (untrue they were unloaded and for hunting)
cops get called
Gets our apartment raided I'm arested at gunpoint
cops find a lot of stuff including gear (gf did my weekly pins)
I'm getting charged with lots of bad things but I posted bail without conditions immediately so I'm a free man for now.
Am not allowed to speak to her or her family by court order
I am a very sad person

Yea they took 60gs in cash from me too. All I have now to look forward too is getting big again which finding the motivation for that is hard as well.That's brutal bro
