Hey everybody this is Manny Guerrero, this is my testimony of momentum.

2
00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:08.000
What challenges were you facing before joining?

3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:11.440
Well, I was struggling with drive and discipline.

4
00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:14.880
I couldn't get myself going knowing damn well I had this innate desire to

5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:15.640
succeed in

6
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:16.640
life.

7
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.030
Before joining my goal was to eliminate my marijuana consumption by the end of

8
00:00:20.030 --> 00:00:20.320
this

9
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:21.560
January.

10
00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:24.690
I genuinely felt like as if it was something consuming my life and was

11
00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:25.480
something that

12
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.240
led me to make horrible life decisions.

13
00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:31.320
Even with Brandon was like meeting a brother I never knew I had.

14
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.880
He was willing to hear my story and walk me through my thought process as well,

15
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:36.040
helping

16
00:00:36.040 --> 00:00:38.120
me formulate a plan to stop.

17
00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:42.960
Our initial plan was to first get me to cut down my consumption by half.

18
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.040
We decided to meet weekly for check ins.

19
00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:47.880
These check ins were a conversation I was looking forward to.

20
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.010
As I knew Brandon always had something under his sleeve in regards of helping

21
00:00:52.010 --> 00:00:52.680
me through

22
00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:54.180
my thoughts.

23
00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:56.840
This man cooks, trust me.

24
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:01.460
People that I know the mind shift helped me and gave me enough courage to quit

25
00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:02.160
smoking.

26
00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:05.640
In addition to all the support I was already receiving.

27
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.200
Something inside me told me I could do it and make real change if I just piv

28
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:09.960
oted and reminded

29
00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:14.200
myself that I was striving to be the best version of myself.

30
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.640
I quit on the 9th of this month with the goal of quitting by the 31st, the 9th.

31
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.360
I quit on the 9th, the 9th.

32
00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:27.420
Even after I quit I still quit me with Brandon and he still does his absolute

33
00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:28.160
best to make

34
00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:31.960
sure that I gain that mental momentum.

35
00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:36.160
In all honesty, if anyone were to ask me if mental momentum was worth joining,

36
00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:36.760
I'd ensure

37
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:41.600
they're missing out on an opportunity of a lifetime by not being in here.

38
00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:47.020
Not only did Brandon help me, but my fellow peers in this community have as

39
00:01:47.020 --> 00:01:47.760
well.

40
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.720
So everyone should join this group.

41
00:01:49.720 --> 00:01:55.200
already begun to change my life and I truly believe it can change yours too.
