REAL Men and REAL Women

REAL Men and REAL Women
(I wrote this about two years ago but I felt it was important to bring it back)
     Before I get into this I know the percentage of people who don’t understand this will be higher than the percentage that do. Take a look at yourself and see what percentage are you.
The other day at my grandmothers 80th birthday celebration a couple of my family members asked me why I am still single. So I thought for awhile and people always seem to ask me that. So I think I have come up with the reason. I am a REAL Man and need a REAL woman to make me settle down. Before I go any further I feel I should define what I feel makes a real man.
     I have been very blessed in my life to have two GREAT Men as male role models for me. First is my grandfather and second is my father. Two of the REALEST Men you will ever meet. The traits I found in them are those that I try to mimic myself. To me a REAL Man is a provider for his family no matter what happens. A REAL Man will make things happen, he doesn’t complain about what was not given to him. A REAL Man will not sit at home and watch TV and complain about not having a job, a REAL Man will go out and find a job or create one. A REAL Man will protect his family and take care of them. He will die before he lets any harm come to the ones he loves. He won’t cheat on his women or stray in search of lust with other women. He is loyal and knows where his home is. He is simple. A REAL Man loves his family but doesn’t need to display it for everyone to see, he is deep and you can tell he loves you by his action. He will never leave his kids or divorce his wife in search of selfish gains. A REAL Man will build a shed, patio, or deck and all he will ask for is a helping hand, peanut butter sandwich and some ice tea. A REAL Man can only be happy once he has found a REAL Woman.
At my grandmothers birthday celebration I realized something. I saw this 5 foot 90 lbs frail women stand up and speak. Her energy was so strong and she demanded attention. Even the little kids who never met her before had no choice but to listen, because her presence was bigger than anyone in the room. Respect was given to her, not because she asked for it, but because something about her demanded it. It was at that moment that I realized how REAL she was.
    I have been SUPER blessed to have 3 REAL Women in my life. My two grandmothers and my amazing mother. In my opinion a REAL Woman is very rare to come by now and days. A REAL Woman is also a provider for her family. She will stop at nothing to make her children and man happy. She is stronger than any man in the world could ever be. Not in the sense of physical strength, but emotional and mental. A REAL woman is Sexy without being slutty . She will stand by her man and support him. She will lift him up when needed and slap him down when he gets to full of himself. She can fight when pushed but also be the most gentle and loving person in the world. A REAL Women doesn’t have to speak to be heard, you can tell by the look in her eyes if she is happy or sad. She can cook for a whole family, clean the house and do laundry all while dancing salsa and smiling. She is beautiful in every sense of the word and gives her all without asking for anything in return. A REAL Woman is the foundation of the family . Her love and affection can not be bought. You must earn her love and respect. A REAL Woman does not have to call her man all the time, she is confident in herself and trust he will not stray. She is not impressed by the material things other men posses. She will believe in you when no one else does. She will do anything for her family no matter how messed up they are. She puts the needs of her family before her own. And until you give her reason not to, she will LOVE unconditionally.
     With all this said, it brings me back to the reason I had this epiphany. I am single because there are so many weak girls out there. No confidence and just shallow. I have only had one girlfriend in my life for a reason. There needs to be a REAL Deep connection for me to be truly happy. REAL recognize REAL and so many people look unfamiliar to me. Don’t be fooled by how I appear. I may smile and joke but I am truly a Deep person and refuse to settle for less than REAL. But to know the real me you must earn it. So I will like to give a shout out to the REAL Men and Women out there.
     This rant is not aimed at anyone and is not meant to offend anyone. If you are not real I’m sure you can change. If you feel offended by this, I really don’t care. If you shoe fits wear it and shut up.

Taking the NEXT STEP

Taking the NEXT STEP!! Im sure we have all reached a  point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far  one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.".  The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same.  Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back.  THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you.  We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward.  You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort.  Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of t

Quad & Hip Flexor Mobility & Flexibility

Why is it important to include mobility work for the quads and hip flexors? Tight muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg can cause a number of problems, two of which I will discuss in this blog. 1.     Tight quadriceps and hip flexors can put you at an increased risk for a hamstring injury. When people say that a muscle is “tight,” they are essentially saying that the muscle is chronically shortened. Without getting too much into the anatomical specifics, when the hip flexors are “tight,” or shortened, they pull on the lumbar spine. This pull on the lumbar spine increases the curve of the lumbar spine (excessive lordosis) and in turn causes an anterior pelvic tilt.  When the pelvis tilts anteriorly, the hamstrings (attached to the ischial tuberosity) can become excessively stretched/lengthened, which can lead to a strain. Therefore, by keeping the hip flexors and quadriceps at proper length, we can keep our pelvis in a neutral

Positive Attracts Positive

Ever hang around some negative people or in a negative environment? How did you feel during and after you had left? Did you feel drained of energy and just not happy about the situation you were currently in? Guess what.. your attitude, drive and passion effects others around you. If you create that positive energy and always surround yourself with positive, upbeat, driven people, you can only find more success in life. Being surrounded by my Flo Family along with everyone else such as Patrick Lerouge (www.revivetm.com) or Paul Newell (www.balancedwellness.org), I started to see my true potential and what I am truly capable of. They bring out the best in me because of their positive energy. They believe I can do it and push me to my limits. Even when I feel so uncomfortable with doing something, such as speaking in front of a group... they pushed me knowing that I could do it. I would have never seen myself get this far into my career without the Flo Family. I have learned so much, m
