My Big Breakthrough…
My big breakthrough didn't come right away. It took a while. You see, I had to start to repair the damage I had done. I had to tell my wife all the mistakes that I had made. I had to admit to myself that I couldn't do it alone. I had to come to the realization that as much as I loved police work, it would never love me back the same way. I was a replaceable asset to the department, and there was no way around that.
I struggled for months trying to build a connection with my wife. The problem was that I didn't even know what that looked like. I had no idea how to even build one. I knew all about dope and guns and gang members. But connecting with my wife was like a foreign language.
I started to feel like there was no way out. No way out of the pit of despair and anger and blame that I felt.
Until I came across something called THE WARRIOR'S WAY.
I met a man named Garrett J White who literally changed my life. The way I saw things. The way I reacted to things. And all of a sudden, it all started to make sense.
Why I was reacting to my life the way I was. Why I felt anger and hatred and frustration so very often both at work and at home.
But most importantly...what to do about it. You see, I had found all kinds of people and resources talking about the problem. Hell, we all know what the problem is. It's hard as hell to do what we do. But no one was talking about the solution.
So I made a choice. A choice to play all in. And what happened? My life started to change. I found the desire and purpose that had been missing in my life. I found the connection with my family that I had desired for so long. I started to love myself again. And my wife started to love me. I learned how to take care of myself physically. I learned how to listen to my gut instinct when making important decisions. I quit treating money like it was some sort of Monopoly game.
And I knew. I couldn't keep this to myself. I saw too many police officers in my same situation. Broken and afraid. Looking for a way out. So I decided to make my reality a possibility for them.
And I have helped police officers just like you get the exact same thing I have. Showing them how to go from broken and alone to connected and on fire. With their professional careers and their personal lives.
