Tim Arrigo tells the story of a man who had discipline, honesty, and commitment, then slowly abandoned those virtues and became a lesser version of himself. The warning: you might be on the same path. But you have a choice to step back into who you want to be.
Once upon a time, there was a man who kept his promises, a man who kept his word. There was a man that used to hold the door for his wife, used to buy her flowers, used to text her nice things. A man who used to give his wife compliments, who would admit that he was wrong, opened up about, you know, who he was, and opened up his heart to the people around him. A man who was disciplined, who was dedicated, who was determined. A man who had goals. A man who didn't use vices, didn't need to self-destruct. Didn't need to avoid or escape his own life. What happened to that man? I'll tell you what happened to that man. That man gave up on who he was. He descended into a lesser version of himself. See, that man forgot about his goals. He forgot about all the things that made him who he was. That man, he didn't put people before himself. He stopped doing all the things that made him the great and respectable and honorable man that he was. And so what happened to him? Well, he became somebody else. See, right now, as you're descending into a lesser version of yourself, you have a choice. You have a choice. You can stay where you're at right now, or you can step into something new for yourself.
