When I was 21 years old, I went to prison for the first time.

They sent me to Yardville Youth Correctional Facility… also known as “Gladiator School.” 🥊

I was facing a first-degree armed robbery charge, and at first I was looking at 15 years.

I’m not gonna sit here and pretend I wasn’t scared.

I was 165 pounds soaking wet and surrounded by grown men doing serious time.

But fear doesn’t solve anything.

So I had to handle my business like a man.

While I was there, I made a decision… I wasn’t going to waste that time.

Most guys were playing spades, dominoes, arguing over the TV, and killing time. ♠️

Meanwhile I was in my room working out and educating myself.

My stepmother sent me flashcards, anatomy books, and nutrition books so I could study for my personal training certification. 📚

When I wasn’t reading… I was training.

And when there were no weights, I made my own with trash bags filled with water. 🏋️‍♂️

I couldn’t control where I was…

But I could control who I was going to become when I got out.

That mindset changed my life.

If you’re going through a hard season right now, remember this: 💭

Your current situation does NOT define your future.💯
