Hey Family,

Y’all ever been knocked down so hard in life that you wondered if you could ever get back up? I ain’t talking about no little stumble—I’m talking about life hitting you square in the face and leaving you laid out. You know what I’m talking about. We’ve all been there.

See, here’s what I learned. Success ain’t about avoiding the fall. Success is about getting back up after life takes its best shot. Sometimes, life will hit you so hard you’ll be out there questioning everything you thought you knew about yourself. And trust me, it don’t care how much money you got, what car you drive, or how good you look in a suit. Life’s gonna humble you, but here’s the thing: those knockdowns are necessary.

Look at me. I got stories for days about being down and out. I lived in a car for three years, y’all. THREE. And I ain’t talking about no luxury vehicle either. It was a raggedy, broke-down car that was barely keeping me off the street. But you know what? That time shaped me. It gave me the strength to endure. See, God ain’t gonna let you stay down unless you choose to stay down. You have the power to rise up if you’re willing to fight for it.

In this video, I talk about what it means to come back stronger after life knocks you down. That pain you’re going through? That struggle? It’s setting you up for something bigger. But here’s the key: you can’t quit. Winners don’t quit, and quitters don’t win.

When life knocks you down, you gotta get up swinging. It ain’t about how hard you get hit; it’s about what you do after. Keep your faith strong, keep moving forward, and remember, God’s got a plan for you even in your darkest moments. That’s when the breakthrough comes, when you’re on your last leg, and you feel like giving up—but you don’t. You push through, and that’s when the magic happens.

So, don’t let the knockdowns define you. Let ‘em build you. Let ‘em fuel you. ‘Cause the harder you fall, the higher you can rise. And trust me, when you make that comeback, when you stand tall and look back at what you overcame—you’re gonna realize that every knockdown was just setting you up for a higher level of success.

Keep grinding, keep believing, and most importantly, keep the faith.

Stay strong, family.
