No Pain No Gain ( California Views )

Everything that glitters isn't gold.

You just have to know not to believe every image that you're sold.

Don't get your hopes up high believing every promise that you're told.

There are far too many souls who will look you in your eyes without a smirk or grin and lie to you cause they are just that bold.

Imagine trying to love someone whose heart is so tainted and cold.

Imagine pouring your heart out and being thirsty for the love you always longed for from a Father.

This life never did come with gold and a silver spoon.

She had to pick her head up and keep on trucking.

Miracles and dreams don't blossom into fruition out of luck.

She never wanted the easy way out or to attract suckers and bustas.

She just wanted to make it out of the struggle , be free from the trauma , and not have demons try to hold onto her.

She just wanted to break free from every plan of defeat , so she could live a life of peace and harmony.

No pain no gain.

Everyone who made it out of the mud outwitted their enemies tactics and found a new profound happiness.

To be free . . .. free from toxicity , dream crushers , manipulators , crooks , and generational curses.

No more perfect Patty's , Negative Nancy's , & Debbie Downers.

... Read moreLife often presents challenges that test our strength and resolve. The phrase "No pain, no gain" perfectly encapsulates the reality that personal growth and success rarely come without struggle. Many people face hardships, including deception, emotional wounds, and obstacles that threaten to hold them back. Yet, those who persevere find profound happiness and freedom. It's important to recognize and distance oneself from various toxic influences—such as manipulators, dream crushers, and negative thinking patterns—that can hinder progress. Breaking free from generational curses and recurring negativity requires conscious effort and courage. By setting boundaries and fostering a supportive environment, individuals can nurture emotional healing and build resilience. Dreams and miracles do not simply happen by luck; they require consistent effort, patience, and self-belief. Even when life doesn’t hand us a silver spoon, like the poem suggests, we can still forge our own path by maintaining hope and determination. Remember, not every image or promise we encounter is truthful or beneficial—discernment is key. Ultimately, the journey to peace and harmony involves embracing the discomfort and difficulties as opportunities for growth. It means lifting yourself up after setbacks and staying committed to your aspirations. Those who succeed do so by outwitting not only external challenges but also internal fears and doubts. This personal evolution fosters freedom from emotional pain and toxic relationships, enabling a life filled with positivity and authenticity. The poem beautifully captures this universal human experience, encouraging readers to persevere and embrace the necessary discomfort that leads to lasting gain.

If there is any exercise I can swear by, it would be the Hip Thrusts. This exercise (along with Bulgarian Split Squats and Hip Abductors) has doubled my glute growth in a few short months. 12/10 would recommend! P.S.: focus on FORM over WEIGHT. The better your form is, the smoother your workout
