Do you really have control over your life?

As human beings it is such an interesting topic to think about when it comes to the control that most people have over their lives… though with that the actuality of the situation being the control their lives has over them. Most people would argue that they have control over their life, they; choose their friends, choose what to do in a day, choose this, choose that. I'm not talking surface level control over your life, I'm talking about having control over; your mental health, those close/ the quality of people you let be around you, self talk, own physical view on your body, physical health, weekend choices, knowing truley what is right by you, future direction, confidence, happiness, daily energy, feelings of accomplishment, growth, ability to know you are becoming a better person on EVERY level - that’s the kind of control I'm talking about.

To see someone not happy with how they look feel, think about themselves, how their days are, their energy, how they spend their weekends surrounded by toxic, how they know they are just staying the same, knowing they are moving backwards overtime, its heartbreaking because that someone might not know how to gain control, might not know how to do right by them, might not know that things can change, that someone might not know that life can be so much more then how they currently live, feel, think and experience.

Sam David is someone I have had the pleasure of having in my coaching life. I have watched this incredible fucking human develop, create & take so much control over him, his life, his future, his progress, his mindset & his actions. I have watched someone go from not acknowledging ownership over themselves/ where they are at, to literally thriving on a daily basis because of the ownership, thoughts & actions he is making right by him. These photos show an incredible change BUT they are nothing compared to what’s changed inside, his numerical stats of 123.8kg - 97.3kg (26.5kg) is a huge progression but nothing compared to the control that this man has taken over his life. The current Sam, grateful for the pasts work, the future is grateful for the currents work.
