Hey my good friend…. welcome back!
Hey Nino I can’t believe I made it here, on time today… ok!
Gee my friend…. why’s that?
Nino because I had a tough time here this morning at the gym to get the juices flowing, in “my” body to do “my” workout….ok!
My friend…. would you mind if I ask you a question?
Gee Nino absolutely not …. what is it?
My friend are you still having anxiety here this week, about your new job?
Gee Nino absolutely not… ok!
Nino because after our discussion we had here last week on how to overcome anxiety in “my” life, I’ve taken your advice once again and given all “my” anxiety over to God…. ok!
Gee my friend I’m so happy to hear you that….. and I know that God is too ok!
Ok my friend that being said…. why did you have a tough time in getting through your workout this morning?
Well Nino have you ever had those days when you go into the gym, and you can’t seem to get your body going?
My friend absolutely…. it’s only normal here to have days like that ok!
Well Nino I’m happy to say it only lasted a few minutes of “me” not having the energy this morning, to get through “my” workout…ok!
Nino…. would like to know why?
Gee my friend absolutely…. I definitely do!
My friend because if you found the solution to giving you more energy in regards to you getting through your workout this morning, I without a doubt want in on your secret ok!
Ok Nino listen up…. ok!
Nino because here’s ”my” secret to getting those jucies flowing in your body, when it seems to be on empty!
Ok my friend…. I’m all ears!
Ok Nino I knew that I needed a pick “me” up to get through “my” workout this morning, so I bought myself one of those “energy drinks” that I see everyone drink at “my” gym!
Gee Nino let ”me” tell you…. it only took five minutes for it to really kick in…ok!
Nino that being said…. have you ever had an energy drink to help you get through a workout before?
Gee my friend…. you’ve just done it again here this week!
My friend that being said… would you like to take a guess here and tell “me”?
Gee Nino absolutely…. I would love to take a guess!
Well Nino after being here with you for quite awhile now…. I’ve begun to really know your way of thinking ok!
Ok Nino that being said…. I believe I just came up with our next topic of discussion here this week!
Nino…. am I right in assuming that?
Gee my friend I’m amazed…. because your absolutely right!
Gee Nino is it ok…. if I make another assumption here today?
My friend absolutely… go for it!
Ok Nino I have a strong feeling that you are totally on the same page with “me” today, about “me” deciding to have an energy drink, to help “me” get through “my” workout this morning…. right!
Well my friend I hate to disappoint you here today… ok!
My friend I don’t necessarily agree with you on deciding to have an energy drink to give you that extra boost of energy, to get through your workout this morning….ok!
Gee Nino…. why not?
Well my friend I’m glad that you asked “me”…. ok!
My friend because in today’s discussion I’m going to give you “my” thoughts on energy drinks, that seems to be very popular with alot gym goers….ok!
Gee Nino something tells “me” that your not a big fan on using energy drinks today, in helping you to boost your energy level!
Nino…… am I right in assuming that?
Well my friend I guess only time will tell today, if that holds true…ok!
My friend that being said…. are you ready for “me” to give you “my” thoughts today, on energy drinks?
Yeah Nino….absolutely!
Oh Nino hang on I almost forgot!
Ok my friend…. what is it?
Nino I brought you an energy drink today for you to drink, as we discuss our next topic together!
Gee my friend thanks I appreciate the offer… ok!
My friend but I think I’ll stick to drinking “my” water today…. ok!
Gee Nino why do I have a strong feeling that your about to tell “me” today, that energy drinks aren’t so healthly for “me” to be drinking!
Well my friend let’s see if your right about that assumption… shall we!
Ok my friend that being said… here we go again!
Well my friend let “me” start off today by saying that you were right on target when you said to “me” earlier, that you had a feeling that I’m not a big fan on energy drinks!
My friend that being said…..today I’m going to give you two good reasons why I feel this way ok!
Ok Nino I’m all ears….. let’s hear the first reason!
Ok my friend…. here comes reason #1!
My friend…. did you know that energy drinks are loaded with tons of sugar?
Gee Nino…. I had absolutely no idea that energy drinks contain alot of sugar ok!
Well my friend I have news for you today….. they certainly do!
Listen my friend you’ve been here with “me” long enough now to know that I always tell you, the honest truth about things to help you NOT hurt you in your life ….ok!
Gee Nino I know that and I really appreciate you being straight up with “me” today, on giving “me” your thoughts on energy drinks….ok! Nino because as you know that’s the only way that I’m going to learn about certain things in “my” life today……ok!
My friend once again here…. I’m so happy that you see it that way ok!
Ok my friend that being said…. due to the fact that energy drinks contain ALOT of artificial sugars, is a good enough reason for “me” to stay clear away from them…ok!
My friend because as your well aware of now, too much artificial sugar in your diet today will be turned into unwanted fat…ok!
Gee Nino I know…. and that’s the last thing that I want to see happen here ok!
Nino because as your well aware of by now I’ve been really focused here in the last couple of weeks, to get back into the gym and really step up “my” training again …..ok!
Yeah my friend I know you have…. and I couldn’t be more proud of you ok!
Ok my friend that being said……. are you ready to hear the last reason today, why I’m not such a big fan on energy drinks?
Yeah Nino absolutely…. let’s hear it!
Ok my friend as your probably aware of also by now from our previous discussion that we’ve had here in the past, on the effects that artificial sugars can have on your body it can also have a negative effect on muscle growth!
My friend that being said…. the only thing that energy drinks are going to accomplish here for you today, is to eat up ALL your hard earned muscles that you’ve worked so hard to achieve here in the last couple of years ok!
My friend and I know for a fact here today you definitely don’t want to see your muscles disappear, after all the work that you’ve put into the gym here lately to get them… right!
Gee Nino absolutely not…. ok!
Nino as you know “my”#1 goal this year is for “me” to achieve ”my” “dream body” ….ok!
Well my friend if your really serious here about that today, then I suggest that you do one thing for “me”…. ok!
Ok Nino sure…. what is it?
My friend it’s quite simple here……. STOP drinking those energy drinks ok!
My friend just stick to eating your complex carbs here, for that energy source… ok!
Ok Nino I promise you today…. NO more energy drinks for “my” body!
Nino I’m sticking to having “my” oatmeal just before I workout in the morning… ok!
My friend now your talking ”my” language here again…ok!
Gee Nino…. what language is that??
My friend it’s quite simple…. like a champion “No Excuses” bodybuilder!

Howdy Nino….. how are you doing today?
Hey my friend…. it’s great to see you again!
My friend that being said…. I’m doing just fine today!
So my friend let “me” ask you now…. how are you doing today?
Well Nino I’m sorry to say here…. I’m not doing as good as you are ok!
Gee my friend…. why’s that?
My friend is there something wrong…. that you would like to talk to “me” about today?
Actually Nino there is something that’s bothering “me” today, and I could definitely use your advice in how to go about handling it…… if that’s ok with you!
My friend absolutely…. what can I help you with today?
Well Nino I’ve been having a tough time in the last couple of days here, to fall asleep at night…. ok! Nino that being said…. trust “me” I know how important it is for “me” now to be getting “my” ZZZ’s here, after our discussion on it a couple weeks ago…ok!
Ok my friend…. may I ask you why you’ve been having a tough time here, in the last couple of days to fall asleep at night?
Actually Nino it has alot to do with “me”, starting a new job here next week… ok!
Nino that being said …. I’ve been having alot of anxiety lately about starting this new job, and that’s the main reason why I haven’t been able to fall asleep ok!
My friend I can’t believe what you just did, once again here this week … ok!
Gee Nino….. what did I just do again?
Well my friend believe or not here you not only just came up with our next topic of discussion this week, but you also just touched on another goal that God wants us to successfully accomplish together here as well…ok!
My friend…. would you like to take a guess on what that goal might be??
Gee Nino…. I have absolutely no clue here, on what that goal might be…. ok!
Nino that being said…… would you mind just telling “me” on what that goal is today?
Nino because due to all the anxiety that I’ve been having lately here, I can’t seem to think straight at all today…ok!
My friend I totally understand…. ok!
My friend that being said…. in our discussion together this week I’m going to teach you how to overcome, all this anxiety that you’ve been experiencing here lately due to you starting a new job soon… ok!
Gee Nino that would be awesome…..ok!
Nino because I definitely don’t want to continue to have all this anxiety here in “my” life…ok! Nino because I’m still way to young here to be stressing out over a simple thing, like “me” having to start a new job soon …ok!
My friend I couldn’t agree with you more on that…ok!
So my friend that being said…. teaching you how to overcome anxiety in your life, just happens to be that goal God expects “me” to accomplish successfully here with you today…ok!
Gee Nino I should have known that how to overcome anxiety in “my” life was the next goal on your list, that God wants us to successfully see through together here today!
My friend I certainly don’t expect you to try and guess every single goal that God wants us, to accomplish successfully here together… ok!
My friend if that was the case here “my” mission would be over….ok!
My friend and I know for a fact God definitely does NOT, want that to happen just yet here…ok!
Gee Nino I definitely don’t want our time here together each and every week, to end just yet either…ok!
My friend I promise you here today that’s not going to happen for quite awhile..ok! My friend because God still wants “me” to educate, and inspire you in alot of area’s in your life yet..ok!
Ok Nino that being said…. why don’t you go ahead now and teach “me” how to overcome, all this anxiety I’ve been having here lately ok!
My friend that sounds like a plan….ok!
My friend that being said…. are you ready for “me” to teach you today, how to become anxiety-free in your life, regardless of how overwhelming the situation might be?
Yeah Nino…. absolutely!
Ok my friend…. here we go again!
Well my friend you might be surprised by what I’m about to tell you here today but believe it or not, back to when I was growing up I used to have alot of anxiety about how people, in our society would view “my” physical disability…ok!
Gee Nino Common… are you being serious?
Nino because your absolutely right when you said to “me” earlier, that I might find what you were about to tell “me” a little hard to believe…ok!
Well my friend I have news for you today….. guess what?
Gee Nino… what is it?
My friend I couldn’t have been more serious here today, by saying that to you…ok!
My friend that being said…. let “me” give you an example now of what I meant by “me” having alot of anxiety in the past, about how people in our society would view “my” physical disability…ok!
My friend then after I do, I’m going to tell you how I was able to overcome all that anxiety I had, regarding how people viewed “my” physical disability in their minds….ok!
Ok Nino go ahead…. I’m all ears!
Well my friend as you know I had numerous operations done on “my” legs in the past here, to try to correct “my” feet so they would turn inward…. ok! My friend but unfortunately here all of the operations I had on “my” legs, weren’t successful in making that happen…ok!
Actually Nino I’m glad that you brought that up again… ok!
Nino because I still talk to “my” friends about all the operations that you went through here on your legs, in the past…ok! Gee Nino and regardless of the negative outcome of each of them, you still have an unbelieable positive attitude…..ok!
Well my friend to be totally honest with you here today, that wasn’t always the case… ok!
My friend that being said…. before God came into “my” life here, I used to have so much anxiety of how people in our society would view “my” physical disability ok! My friend as a result of that I pretty much secluded myself, from the outside world.. ok!
My friend because I didn’t want to deal with some people looking at “me” strangely….ok!
Gee Nino once again here I find that a little hard to believe…. ok! Nino because now that certainly doesn’t seem to be the case with you at all…. ok!
My friend your absolutely right… with making that assumption ok!
My friend that being said…. would you like to take a wild guess here, and tell “me” why that’s definitely not the case with “me” any longer?
Gee Nino I have absolutely no idea….ok!
Nino but I have a strongly feeling here your about to tell “me”, how you were able to overcome to all that anxiety of you going out to public places today…. right!
My friend once again here…. your absolutely right!
Ok my friend listen up!
My friend because what I’m about to tell you is definitely going to help you today also without any excuses here to overcome all this anxiety, that you’ve been having lately about having to start this new job… ok!
Awesome Nino…..I’m all ears!
Well my friend I’m happy to say to you today that I’m now living a 100% anxiety-free life, because I decided to give all “my” anxiety away, to GOD and let “him” deal with it…..ok!
Gee Nino wait a minute here….ok!
Gee my friend…. what is it?
Nino are basically telling “me” today to give God all ”my” anxiety that I’ve been having here lately, about “me” starting this new job as well?
Gee my friend once again here…….. I couldn’t have summed it up any better myself ok!
Listen my friend God does NOT what us to go life today, worrying about situations in our lives that we have no control over…ok! My friend that being said…. God expects you to go to this new job, and do the best job that you can and leave all the worrying to ”HIM” ok!
Gee Nino if it worked for you…. you can bet that I’m going to do the same here today, with “me” starting this new job tomorrow ok!
My friend now your talking a language that God understands…ok!
Gee Nino…. what might that language be??
My friend it’s quite simple…. anxiety-free without any EXCUSES!!
