Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast: Microcast Monday - You Never Really Fail

Hello everyone and welcome back to The CJEvolution Podcast Microcast Monday Series. Thank you for listening, and please share with your family and friends. Please head over to YouTube and Subscribe to The Podcast. A big thank you to YOU. Thank you for protecting and serving. 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/ You have gone through challenges. Maybe you didn't get that promotion. Maybe you are divorced. Maybe you are dealing with other issues. Maybe you think you are a failure and you should just give up.  I have had my share of those thoughts. I believe that people never really fail. I believe that people quit all the time. Failure and quitting are not the same thing. A lot of people stop going after what they want at the slightest bit of discomfort or set back. If you keep trying and keep going after your dream (Whatever that is) you will succeed.  Just look at any success story. Those people were determined to succeed and they did. They didn't let a set back slow them down. Go out and conquer the day. www.cjevolution.com Patrick

You worked hard and you deserve that nice present for yourself. But, when those things start to define who you are and start to consume your life then there is a problem. We like in a materialistic society, but remember that when your time is up you are not going to be thinking that you should have traded in your car to a better one, or how much money is in your bank account. No U-Haul is going to be following you to your grave. You are going to be thinking about the relationships you have made in your life, your family and love.  The "stuff" is good but don't let it run your life.
