Michael

What if the very things that make you feel out of place are the ones that propel you toward greatness? That's the journey Mike from Dayton shares with us—a tale of embracing life's oddities to chase dreams that defy societal norms. From juggling multiple jobs and playing semi-professional football to stepping into the ring of professional wrestling, Mike's path has always looked unconventional. Yet, as he reveals, it's this very strangeness that becomes the stepping stone to success, attracting opportunities and inspiring those who once doubted him.

Step into the land of Mike Believe, where embracing weirdness is not just encouraged but essential. Through vivid anecdotes and inspiring words, Mike challenges us to look past the odd glances and skeptical remarks. He reminds us that the journey might seem bizarre to others, but it’s our dream, and it's meant to be pursued with unwavering passion. Mike’s story is a testament to living with boundless imagination and fearlessly chasing dreams, inspiring us to dream as if we'll live forever and live as if today is our last.

Speaker 1:

Hello, it's me, the M, the I, the K to the E, hailing from the D, the Y to the T that's the abbreviation for the city called Dayton and I'm sending you good vibrations and sensations.

Speaker 1:

And remember, I'm just saying I want to talk to you from the subject of it looks weird now. It looks weird now. Right now, a lot of us are going through some situations or things where it looks weird. I'll give you an example. I remember when I had multiple jobs I would have to change in the restroom, or times when I was taking trips. You may have had to go change somewhere. You're walking around with your clothes and bags, and also with playing semi-professional football. You might have to change while you're at church or somewhere else, and it looks a little bit strange to people. People may give you some weird comments hey, what you doing, what's in the bag? Blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1:

I don't know who I'm talking to, but right now you're transitioning into something better and you're in that process and that's what happens with me again process and that's what happens with me again, like I said when I was doing multiple sports and then also doing professional wrestling, sometimes training. In between your transitioning, you have to go to airports or whatever, or you have to leave one place, go to another, but you're carrying your items because you may be leaving your nine to five or business, or whatever the case may be. It looks weird now, but one day what's going to happen? Everything's going to clear up. You're going to reach the end result of that dream that you've been chasing. All the weird stuff that you have been doing is going to now be normal. You're going to have that degree. You're going to have that job. That was an unconventional job ie professional wrestling, ie music just the things that looked weird at first while you were doing them, because you're going to defy all kind of odds your age, allegedly your age, your barriers and brackets and everything.

Speaker 1:

But you're going to do some things amazing because you are amazing, and right now it looks weird. So I don't know who needs to hear this, but right now you're. You're looking weird to most people, but you're supposed to look weird and a lot of times, honestly, the very thing that makes you look weird is the very thing that makes you magnetic, because you're different. So you're drawing things and you're also going to find a what you want to call it a sudden increase of people who want to be a part of the dream. Initially, they may have told you that it was not a good idea because of your age, because of your state in life, finances or whatever the case may be. But it looks weird now.

Speaker 1:

And it's supposed to look weird because it's not their dream, it's your dream and you have once again come into the land of Mike Believe, a place that makes Emerald City look like a pile of green rocks. Never, never, land. Wish that it never was created and Wonderland, wonder why it was created in the first place. And I encourage you to dream like you'll live forever, but please live like you'll die. Today I quit, thank you, thank you.
