THE JOURNEY

There will be times where nothing at all makes sense, you will question everything and ask yourself why bother doing a lot of things. The journey is different for all of us, I mean our world population is 7.8 Billion! also wouldn't it kind of be boring if everyone's path was the same? In life you will consistently be tested and sometimes you won't even know you are being tested because you might have not yet experience the situation to know what to do and those moments are called lessons. The important thing thought to take from your life lessons to to adapt and figure out ways to push through the situation that is holding you back at the moment because the lesson will repeat itself till it is comprehended. We cannot expect to move forward by just doing the bare minimum, not all task require maximum effort to execute but it is important to develop a concrete work ethic so when you do face a tough task you are ready to get through it. We will all face a lot of adversity, we will constantly stumble upon challenges that will test us to see if we are prepared to move forward to the bigger picture. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself '' how many people want what you want '' ? The fact of the matter is you won't be the first or the last to want to accomplish certain things, you will consistently have people competing against you around the world to try and reach the same end goal. That is why you must develop a work ethic that suits YOU, the most important thing in life is finding what works for you; what tactics do you have to develop in order to function and facilitate at a high level. Do not focus on what people say works for them although sometimes it might work for you as well there will come a time where their tactic no longer suits you and then if you don't have your sources figured out you will get stuck. You will have to remind yourselves daily why it is that you want what you want, this ties in to your WHY. One way I sometimes share with teams or groups that I have coached or worked with when things get tough and everyone feels kind of up tight and it seems like this is the end of the road. Put your back against a wall and look forward, there is only one way you can continue to go and that is forward; if you turn around you will hit yourself against the wall implying that there nothing to look for in the past for there is nothing there that will help you progress. Do yourself a favor, focus on mastering the day first and then you can worry about the month, and then the year. Understand that you are not alone and FAILURE is a part of the journey! It won't always be all sunshine and rainbows and that is crucial to be aware of because it will keep you in tact. What is important is not to QUIT, it is okay to reroute if something wasn't working out the way you thought it would. Through out your journey you will come across many things that you think you can do and maybe you can but they are not your PURPOSE, believe it or not we are all here for a reason and if you woke up today is because you still have work to do! The beauty of pushing through the adversity that comes your way is seeing and feeling how you always had it in you, you just had to believe in yourself and work through it. Do not worry about 10 yrs from now, enjoy the NOW and work and build towards the next day and as you go you will start seeing how you can build towards the future. If it was easy everyone would have it, How bad do you really want it? what sacrifices are you willing to make to accomplish your goals and dreams? Everyone unfortunately can't make it so what makes you different from the rest?  There will be days where you just don't feel it and those are the most crucial days because when you rest the COMPETITION doesn't! some one some where will constantly be working towards the same thing you want and the day you come face to face with that person every step you took upon to that moment will show and only one of you will get the spot.

The ‘’ IT FACTOR ‘’

So today I'll be talking about what I believe any person can have and the more they master it and if they can function at this capacity they can pretty much accomplish anything they set their mind to. There has been numerous amounts of people that have this in common I call it the '' IT Factor '' Having this type of system and mind set installed in you allows you to out perform your peers in basically any aspect. We have to understand as well that '' character is not something we are born with but develop every day '' When we take a look at the most successful people in our world one thing they all have in common is the OBSESSION that they have for what ever if their craft. Day in and day out wether its an athlete or a top sales men they are recognized for constantly being the best at what they do because they implement their skill and their work ethic everyday in what they do. When they're at home they are not just laying around they are always busy with a task that is orientated towards keeping them at the top. When you are performing at an all time level in what ever it is you do, people start to gravitate towards you; they start wanting to become a version of you or a better version of you. When you're at the top they're will always be some one some where chasing to get your spot and that is why it is important to be CONSISTENT. Consistency is a major key to mastering and obtaining the IT FACTOR, you are what you repeatedly do and that goes with anything in life. Any top level person has a certain mindset and work ethic that constantly pushes them to constantly operate at a higher level then others and in my opinion all it really comes down to is how bad do you want it. It comes down to you knowing your WHY; what I mean by knowing your WHY is why is it that you want to accomplish such goal or milestone? Why is it that you just can't put it to the side ? It comes down to what sets you apart from the rest, Why are you different? everyone has their story and everyone has their why but what will you do that they don't which leads to the outcome of you accomplishing what they decided to give up on or notice that it just wasn't for them. Find what ignites your soul and chase it relentlessly, this is where finding your OBSESSION comes in. When you find your passion your desire to accomplish it grows beyond measures, it gets to the point where you can't wait to wake up the next day because you just want to continue getting better and better till you are now the top dog and the competition comes no where near your level. The IT FACTOR is the type of mentality and work ethic that you develop from constantly putting in the work. There is no short cuts in life and wether you get a head start in some areas life will catch up and you will face yourself where you are being questioned by your purpose and the way you answer back will be the outcome of wether you get to the finish line or not. Everyone wants to be great till it's time to be great, everyone wants to be a beast till it's time to do what beast do ! Understand that everyone you start the race with won't make it to the end all for different matters because your path is your path, meaning you will have to leave people behind because everyone has their path and it gets to the point where you might have to make a move that has to be without them and when it's time to make that move it has to be made without hesitation ! A lot of people don't make their moves that are required in order for them to move up in their life because they '' feel bad '' about leaving some people. People come and go and you will continually meet a variety that just has a DEADLINE on them and it's okay to leave that person behind if they are holding you from becoming a better version of yourself! When you are trying to get to the top and be the best it takes actions that others can't make or can't make at the moment and that's completely understandable but always keep your mind in the right mind frame so that way we continue to move in the right direction. No one knows when their last day will be and that should be all the motivation you need to operate at a high level at all times no matter what it is. I know all of us have had those moments where we visualize things we desire to have but those things won't become a reality if all we do is talk about them. Start with a plan because if you don't plan you plan to fail, There are numerous ways to achieve what ever it is you want to do but you have to educate yourself and find what's it's going to take to get there. Things that you can try so it helps you understand and develop a solid work ethic are books, mentors, speakers, etc. The only thing that is not acceptable is NOT TRYING  and I will be talking about that in a future blog but for right now this is all I have and hope that this helps you become a better version of yourself even if you start here and eventually follow others. It's an every day job to constantly become a better version of yourself, you have to train your mind to function with the thoughts that it needs in order to operate towards the bigger goal ! It's an every day job to make ourselves the better version we want of ourselves. Fuelbyj

‘’ DEFUND THE POLICE ‘’

When I first heard about this topic I had a couple thoughts on it as I have many of those on different things. To start off I want to bring up how AMERICA is still currently in flames; we still have a pandemic going on you may know it as COVID-19, Protest for BLM and ICE are still going on today even though the media might not be showing it because the majority are no longer VIOLENT and we are still waiting on justice for multiple hate crimes and crimes within themselves against the black community . If you're a news junky might I say you've had your money's worth lately because the year 2020 has brought us hell! Now to get to the topic '' DEFUND THE POLICE '' I want to say that I see why there are millions who would want this but at the same time it must be understood that we must have a police unit because if we defund it think about what areas are actually going to be able to afford the cost of having a private organization destined to face any sort of crime. A lot goes into this conversation because we have to take all view points into consideration and make a decision that factors for the majority of the popularity. I want to make it clear so I don't have you guys saying that I'm contradicting myself with my last blog post; As I mention in my last article I mentioned that no matter who you are or what skin color you have you must be held accountable if you brake the law. We must see that there are good people and there are bad people and there are good cops and there are bad cops and it is not okay to condemn the majority because of one's actions. This goes for race and profession; it is not okay to label someone or a group just because you see someone else do it! do your research and educate yourself on ways to prevent the situation from growing. I believe the answer to our countries police unit is to REFORM IT, make cops have mandatory monthly check ups to make sure they are mentally stable due to everything they face on their every day jobs. In my opinion it should be required that a cop graduates with some sort of psychology major due to the fact that they work everyday with people! also instead of giving them so much overtime make them have to meet a required amount of hours taking law classes as they are also in charge of applying the law everyday ! I'm sure there are many more effective tactics that can be taken into effect and applied in order to have a better outcome for our societies. Now this is just one of many blog post that you come across but what is important is that you take action if you are in position of power to make these changes come to life. If you are the average joe help in whichever way possible some but not all that can be done to spread the message is to sign petitions, share post on social media, and most importantly educate yourself and those around you ! It has been a pleasure to provide another post for you guys and there are more on the way. Thank you and please take part in today's world where there is plenty to fix and hopefully we come to the solution sooner than later. Fuelbyj.

THE PERFECT STORM

 It is the 21st century and in the United States we are still some how dealing withe the burden of Racism and Police Brutality. On May 25th of the year 2020 the perfect storm hit not just the United States but once the news broke out about how yet another hacious act was committed in Minneapolis MN. A man by the name of George Floyd a 46 yr old Black man was murdered by the police; the police were called because a store employee thought George had paid for a box of cigarettes with a counterfeit bill of $20.When the police arrived he was held down on his stomach with his hands tied with hand cuffs that the officer placed on him and officer Derek Chauvin was the officer who pinned down his knee on George's neck and held it there for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. George pleaded that he could not breathe and if you watch the videos which are all over the web you will see for yourself that there was no need for such aggression when George never resisted any form of arrest and was complying with the officers. George constantly gasped out as he was losing air every second the the officer had his knee on his neck '' I CAN'T BREATHE '' and as the officer continued to apply pressure George also was calling out for his mom as those were some of his last words. Every thing that I have described above was caught on video by a witness and instantly uploaded into the internet and that's where AMERICA got it's long over due wake up call. George's death was seen on every social media platform that you can think of and was on every news channel that you can think of. George's death and pain was felt through the screen or any where you got to watch his wrongful death, his death has sparked thousands and dare I say millions of protest across the U.S and the world where even places like France,Spain,Puerto Rico etc have all taken a stand against police brutality and as I write this are still protesting because these protests aren't just for George; they are for every single Black man or women that has unfortunately lost their life to the police when they didn't have to ! Millions join day in and day out in joining forces with the BLACK Community because ENOUGH IS ENOUGH it is no longer just the black community that is enraged because after all they have been mistreated for over 400 yrs ! that is decade over decade and generation over generation ! that the country who has it written in their national anthem and constitution has put in paper that it is JUSTICE FOR ALL has failed across the board and has failed to represent what it said it would stand for. Let me make it abundantly clear that George Floyd has not been the first and unfortunately won't be the last to die to police brutality, our justice system has failed our black community in various ways. One way it has failed our black brothers and sisters is by simply changing the rules when it comes to them; how is it that a white man or female can commit whatever crime of their choice and get little to no punishment? yet a black man or female does the same crime or not even a crime at all and they get years in jail and most go without bail? Why is is that I can go running and by the way I'm Hispanic and ill get into my situation later; but nonetheless how is it that I can go for a jog and return to my house perfectly fine but a person of color aka black cannot do the same without having the thought in the back of their head '' I might not make it back home today ''. Ahmaud Arbery, a 25 yr old black man, was shot to death by 2 white men. Ahmaud was out on a habitual jog when the men hunted him down; This story honestly brakes my heart because it is the prime example that RACISM still exist till this day. I ask myself constantly and think about how what if that would of been me? Why is is that this sort of HATE must still exist against a race that all they are asking for and voicing their pain is to be treated EQUALLY just like the U.S claimed that they would do so? The black community is not saying that ONLY BLACK LIVES MATTER  we understand that all lives matter no matter where you come from or how you look, you and I have the same right to do what ever we please as long as it is respecting the rules. It is about the PRINCIPAL that I will not treat you any different because you look or are different from me! We are all different because I think we can all mutually agree that if we were all the same life would be a bit boring. It is time that our country stands for what it said it would, It is time for our justice system and that includes cops and judges because cops make the arrest but the judges are the one's who deliver a sentencing accountable as well. Far too many have fallen already for this cycle of SYSTEMATIC RACISM to continue to hurt our brothers and sisters. We must understand that RACISM does not discriminate and it can happen to anyone and only because maybe you have been lucky that is hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it can't ! To those in position to make EFFECTIVE CHANGE I ask that you remember why you decided to do the job you chose to do. I ask that you remember that when you swore the OATH to protect you remember that you swore to protect EVERYONE not just those you choose. I ask that if you personally feel that you cannot swear to protect everyone for 20+ years that you reconsider what you are signing up for. I ask to those in our justice system in what ever role you play that you remember the line from our countries CONSTITUTION '' NO MAN ABOVE THE LAW '' meaning no matter who you are or what skin color you have YOU GET HELD ACCOUNTABLE JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE.    I would also like to make it clear I do not form part of any group or organization and I am implementing my 1st Amendment Right just like any one is allowed to do so. I would also like to make it clear that I do no support THE VIOLENCE that some of the protests have lead to and I agree that who ever is causing the harm to any sort of business should be held accountable and charged appropriately! I want to make it clear that this MOVEMENT is not in place to start a RACE WAR but to understand that this is A CIVIL RIGHTS situation. Thank you for your time and hope this sparks a fire in someone to make effective change or even just spread awareness on our country's current situation. Fuelbyj.

Welcome to my blog

Hello there I don't believe we've introduced each other, my name is Juan. I have been eager to start my own blog because writing my thoughts is one of the easiest ways I can get things of my mind and present my view points. To be specific I hope to provide lots of blog post where you or anyone can enjoy and question why I think the way I do. My writings will sometimes if not all the time be challenging and questioning but I will try my absolute best to always explain everyones side. I will tell as of now that my blogs will be about multiple topics, some where I may be very passionate about because it means a lot to me or some will purely be just based on current events around our world that I have strong thoughts about and want to let it out into the universe and hey who knows you might feel the same way. Also I like to just let you know that my spelling sucks so I apologize in advanced if I misspell a word or two. I will try my best to always provide solid reads where you can and probably will often say to yourself '' man this guy is so annoying '' don't worry I can take it jaja. Well this wraps up this quick introduction and I hope to see you soon and providing any sort of feedback as I post my blogs. See you soon Fuelbyj.
