Our mana (spirit) is strong.
Intense workouts are part of my daily process. I need the intensity to anchor my day, so the last thing I want is to be interrupted… but, for THIS MAN, I will gladly stop my workout, remove my headphones and respectfully remove my hat so I can shake hands and hug @c.t.ali.fletcher.I started tracking CT years ago. Quietly following him in the shadows and admiring the impact he’s had on so many people’s lives. About a year ago I watched one of the greatest documentaries I’ve ever seen, about his life called #MyMagnificentObession. In the doc, I was specifically moved by the relationship he had with his dad. When I shared this with CT, he then proceeds to tell me how much my dad (Rocky Johnson) influenced him growing up. Crazy how life comes full circle that way.
CT exemplifies what it means to overcome the odds and work so intensely hard at something, it becomes an obsession. But CT’s real power, will always be the gratitude and humility he has in his heart.
Life is crazy and busy for all of us, but when we can fuel it with a lil’ gratitude and humility – life becomes that much better.
Pleasure to meet you brother, thank you for the inspiration and as always.. ISYMFS. ?? (keep kickin’ ass Samson and carrying on that family tradition)
