"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Keep hustlin cuz.

Reading this puts things in perspective for me being married with 2 kids, and I still feel the pressure of everything on my shoulders at times.

Best of luck with the job hunt. UPS would be a solid career move for you since they seem to take care of their own. Keep doing right by your kids and you’ll be alright.

Dam. When I worked there they started preloaders at $9.50 and loaders/unloaders at $8.50.

You realize that outside of peak you're only getting ~25 hours/week right? Probably 4 or 5 years until you can bid into a full time position.

Lame excuse. That’s a terrible mindset to have. I don’t either and I’ve gone from under 10hr in high school to now over 200k
