Remember you are honored, cherished and loved. Keep up the great work. I struggled. I was in a dark place for a long time. I was in pain, and I masked it with alcohol.  I was contemplating hurting myself.  I finally decided to reach out and ask for help, and I am grateful I did. FHE Health and The Shatterproof Program saved my life. If you are struggling, you don’t have to stay there. We can and will help you. Reach out today at 303.960.9819. https://fherehab.com/ https://www.cjevolution.com/shatterproof/ Any success you have in your life is going to come incrementally.

If you are struggling, you don’t have to stay there. We can and will help you. Reach out today at 303.960.9819. https://fherehab.com/ https://www.cjevolution.com/shatterproof/ I frequently hear people say, I want to go back to the time when....(fill in the blank). You are never going back to that time. You have to adapt to the one constant - Change. You can either go with it or go kicking and screaming because it's moving forward. Sure, no one likes change but this is where your growth and opportunities are. A new boat doesn't get tested sitting in the harbor, it has to go out to sea to see if it can handle it. The same is true with you.  The past is the past - It's NEVER coming back. We all make mistakes and wish we could have done things differently, but you are NOT the mistakes you have made.  You chart your own path. The future is where it's at. www.cjevolution.com Patrick

I am going to give you my recipe for success: 1) Practice Gratitude - Whatever is going on in your life you always have something or someone to be grateful for - Period. 2) Sleep - Your body needs 7-8 hours of restful sleep. If you're not getting that get rid of some time you are wasting and devote to sleep. Your body and mind will thank you. 3) Consumption - Mentally - What are you putting in your head? Get rid of the negative and in with the positive. The same goes for what food you are putting into your body. 4) Fitness - Get your butt off the couch and walk a little. Movement is life. 5) Your Tribe - Who are you hanging with? Do you know how much influence they have over you, because they do. Are they bringing you up or down? Sometimes you have to distance or get rid of certain people in your life. Sound harsh? Life is harsh.  Remember everything starts with you. If you want success you have to take drastic steps.  Go out and conquer your world! Yep, you can do it.    www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Reach out today at 303.960.9819. https://fherehab.com/ https://www.cjevolution.com/shatterproof/   Today I want to you to Save Yourself First. Now before you start yelling at me about your duty to protect and serve just listen to me for a minute. If you don't save yourself first how will you begin to save others? I am not talking about not doing your job as a first responder - Far from it. Saving and helping others with their others is your primary role. But I posit this:  Say you are operating at 75% mentally and physically (And you and only you know the operating level you are currently at, how do you serve and protect others to your full potential? - YOU CAN'T! I talk about this a lot because it's so important, and so many of you don't - TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST. Mentally and Physically you Must Come First You can and you will - Repeat that everyday. Please be safe and go out and conquer your day and week. www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Why do you keep putting off that thing you need to do? Don't you realize that by kicking the can down the road it will probably make it worse? We all procrastinate, but when we do we usually subject ourselves to more suffering and anxiety. Yes, the unknown can be scary but you need to take a stand and more importantly take action. That decision you need to make is not going to make itself. All we have is time and not much of it when you really think about it.  Go for it and take action now.   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Chad is former police officer with many years of experience. After he left Chad went through some difficult times like many of us do when we leave a law enforcement career. I know I did.  But Chad has that persevere attitude that he gained in the military and in combat. Chad is a mover and shaker in the first responder world and his book - The Holy Trinity of Successful and Healthy Police Organizations, which is being released SOON.  A great conversation. This is what success after law enforcement looks like.   You can find Chad here: https://motivate-change.com/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-bruckner/    www.cjevolution.com   Patrick
