Warrior Up – You’re Being Pulled Back for a Reason

Let me just say this loud and clear: the second you decide to do something good, really good, life’s gonna come swinging. That’s not negativity talking, that’s experience.

Every time I’ve tried to level up, get healthy, do right, help others, boom — something hits. Health issues, bills, relationships, and doubt. It’s like clockwork. And I used to think maybe I was cursed, or doing something wrong. But nah… that’s just how this works.

The more good you’re pushing toward, the more the bad tries to grab your ankles and drag you back down.

That’s the point where most people tap out. But that’s also the moment that separates boys from men, dreamers from doers.

This is when we warrior up.

You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Hell, half the time, I’m making it up as I go. But I refuse to fold. Because these goals I set? They matter. My healing matters. This program, this mission, it all matters. And if I’ve got to get dragged through the mud a few more miles to get there, then so be it.

Setbacks don’t mean stop. They mean load up. Like an arrow, we get pulled back not to stay there, but to launch. The farther the pull, the greater the momentum when we let go and fly.

So if you’re in it right now, if you’re broke, tired, sick, hurting, or feel like you're going backward, good. That means you’re in the fight. That means you’ve got something worth fighting for.

Don't let the struggle convince you to quit. Let it fuel you.

Stand up. Shake it off. Cry if you need to. Yell if you have to. Then keep moving forward.

Because you’re not weak. You’re being prepared. You're not broken — you’re being forged.

And when you launch, brother… you’re gonna fly.
