I never realized it. I thought it was normal.
That’s how far I drifted from who I was.
Special Operations Forces to… comfortable civilian.
2005: Left the service, moved to Spain.
The dream, right?
Sun, beach, and “working a bit” in our business.
Reality?
– Grinding 24/7 and Stress
– Endless BBQs and Rivers of wine
– Zero physical training
The strange part?
I never saw it happening.
Like a frog in slowly boiling water 😃
Found some old photos recently.
A ´nice´ round face staring back at me.
Six-pack replaced by… something else: A Blob….
They look photoshopped. But they’re real.
That was me.
“How the hell did I let this happen?”
Simple: I stopped paying attention.
Here’s the wake-up call:
It´s not only your body.
Your business can get fat too.
– Unnecessary costs
– Inefficient systems
– Deadweight
– Toxic people you should have cut
Your life? Same story.
– Health declining quietly
– Relationships neglected
– Dreams frozen in time
– Adventures unlived
Today, I’m lean again. Six-pack’s back.
But this message isn’t about abs.
It’s about awareness.
It’s about intention.
It’s about choosing your path instead of drifting.
Stop right now and ask yourself:
– Where am I really?
– What matters most?
– What dreams am I postponing?
– Who am I becoming?
Because one day, you’ll look back at the photos of your life.
Make sure you recognize – and love – who you see.
