Today I turn 40.
That feels strange to say because in a lot of ways I feel better than I did at 20, when I was a young Marine, fighting house to house in a war zone that ruins men and women.
My hair has turned silver. My beard is doing its best to catch up. Life has handed me victories, losses, heartbreak, stress, responsibility, and more lessons than I can count. I’ve buried people I love. I’ve raised children. I’ve built businesses. I’ve failed. I’ve started over. More than once.
Through all of it, one thing has remained constant.
I kept moving. Not without setbacks. I make sure that I am always doing something.
I’ve had seasons where my nutrition was dialed in and seasons where it wasn’t. Times when training felt easy and times when I had to drag myself into the gym. Times when life was calm and times when everything felt like it was falling apart.
What I’ve learned is that results are rarely built in the big moments. They’re built in the small decisions repeated over and over again.
A walk when you don’t feel like walking.
A workout when you’re tired.
A better meal choice when nobody is watching.
Getting back up after a bad week instead of quitting after a bad week.
I struggle with these still! I am far from perfect but progress can be perfectly executed over time.
Forty didn’t happen overnight, and neither did the body, mindset, and health I have today.
The silver hair showed up one day at a time.
The strength was built one workout at a time.
The discipline was built one choice at a time.
Today I feel blessed. I feel grateful. I feel focused. And at 40, I feel pretty jacked.
Not because I’m special. Because I stayed consistent long enough to become the man I am striving to be. I am still doing this every single day.
If you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond and you’ve been telling yourself it’s too late, it isn’t.
You don’t need to become who you were at 20.
You can become the strongest, healthiest, most confident version of yourself right now.
