The action behind your next level.

"All of these identities and everything that I had that I thought I was — I'm the successful business owner, I'm a good father, I'm a good husband — and all of a sudden this just all came crashing down."

"There were so many things beyond my control. So I had to focus on the things I could, and surrender and turn over the things I couldn't to my higher power."

"I redefined my core values — what do I stand for, what am I about. And I began to see and make my life choices and my actions through those values, and to really get defined who Ken Spencer is. Because there were a lot of times where I wasn't very happy with myself, and others weren't very happy with me."

"I've gone to restaurants and eaten there by myself, just to get out and have some connection with the people around there."

"You can't just rely on unhealthy things to get you through the day. You kind of have to tackle it in a better light."

"I got to listen to other testimonies of people just dealing with the basic struggles of life. That's what got me interested. Then I started applying very basic practices to very small things that would pop up in my life — and I could tell it improved it."

"In high school I could do a lot football-wise. Then I got to college and I almost had that mental block — I would show flashes at times, but I wasn't consistent. So that mental game, I really started diving in. I was trying to find some type of edge — why some athletes could do it that were less athletic, and some kids that were more athletic weren't able to."

"We're surrounded by all these people, and I start realizing how fortunate I am. They're kind of at the end, and we're at the start. And we're able to go to the doctor and they can fix it — some places aren't able to do that. I felt so bad for them, because they have not got the training that I've been able to be around."

"As somebody that has never worked out in my life — I've never been big, but I never felt the need to work out. I started working out a couple years ago and it really has changed my life. I have some health issues that it has helped with that I had no idea it would even affect. When I stop working out for a week or two, I can definitely tell."

"I drove there for about an entire month and sat in the parking lot and would watch other people work out, because I was too afraid to go in."
