The Hustle Saved My Life.

Hustle. 2.5 years ago I was just another sad veteran stereotype: Back from Afghanistan. Blew all my money. Drunk. Angry. Jobless. Homeless. Depressed. Suicidal. The works. More close calls with checking out, then I care to count. I didn't know it at the time, but the hustle absolutely saved my life. One of those close calls, during a drunk staring contest with a 1911, I had a very very intense moment of clarity;  I can always come back to this. In the mean time: Go all in. Right now. Gamble it all. See how it plays out. Do everything I wanted to do. Sell all the stuff  i don't need. Cut out all the dead weight. I thought "If it goes bad?  I can always go back to the original plan."

.. Find what you love. Do what you love.  Go all in.  

Thank you BP. What you provide here, for free, changes lives. It saved mine.
