Life is so good:

‍

Life is so good.

‍

So amazing.

‍

So blessed.

‍

So grateful.

‍

So lucky.

‍

Man.

‍

I can’t believe it.

‍

Can’t believe this is my life.

‍

I’m living in a dream.

‍

And I hope I never wake up.

‍

I have a great family.

‍

Great friends.

‍

Cool job.

‍

Traveled the world.

‍

Physically able to play multiple sports.

‍

Have seen almost all the teams I love live.

‍

I’ve changed careers.

‍

Written books.

‍

Run marathons.

‍

Completed an Ironman.

‍

Had way too many late nights.

‍

Have had so much fun.

‍

Have found god.

‍

Have found my purpose.

‍

Have found my calling.

‍

The only thing left is a partner.

‍

But that will come.

‍

That will be the ultimate icing on the cake.

‍

But ain’t no random person coming in to screw this up.

‍

Because life is too good.

‍

Life is too amazing.

‍

Life is too exciting.

‍

I can’t believe it.

‍

Can’t believe this.

‍

Can’t believe it right now.

‍

I just got amazing news.

‍

Like life-changing.

‍

Like my life will never be the same type of news.

‍

All the work.

‍

All the effort.

‍

All the time.

‍

All the sacrifice.

‍

All of it is worth it.

‍

Every single thing.

‍

Because I am here.

‍

Everything is about to change.

‍

Everything.

‍

I am about to be launched into the stratosphere.

‍

As my friend said, I expected to be here.

‍

I knew I would be here.

‍

But it doesn’t change what it’s like to be here.

‍

Because for many years I thought I wasn’t.

‍

I thought I was pounding my head against a wall.

‍

Covid.

‍

Job loss.

‍

Death.

‍

Many, many hard days.

‍

But man, we are here.

‍

We are really fucking here.

‍

I have to enjoy this.

‍

A coach told me years ago.

‍

One thing about me is I never celebrate.

‍

I work.

‍

I achieve.

‍

Then I move on.

‍

Thanks Kobe.

‍

But she said you need to stop.

‍

You need to look around.

‍

You need to celebrate.

‍

For a great philosopher Ferris Bueller once said ‘Life moves pretty fast.

‍

If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.’

‍

I’m looking around.

‍

And boy is it amazing. 

‍

So happy.

‍

So lucky.

‍

So thankful.

‍

Thank you god.

‍

Thank you parents.

‍

Thank you everyone who’s been in my life.

‍

I am not here without you.


Now the real fun begins.

‍

Time to go show the world.

‍

Man, my life is so good.
