Guys, i ask for your help. i need everyone to repost or retweet this. i need Jon Jones to read this message. if you follow my page and you are media, i challenge you to make this into an article and boost this to get this message to him.
i know how he feels. i have felt the emptiness and confusion of incrediblw success... but yet still being unhappy.
i hit my rock bottom real quick in life before i sought help. i found that help through a church program called Celebrate Recovery which i have now been involved in for 6 years.
i truly understand what Jon feels... i felt it. i happened to me and i hit rock bottom at 19... i had everything in the world... but for some reason i wasnt happy. i was a prodigy just like Jon. from ages 14 through 18 i went 17-0 between my amateur fights and professional fights... i was on top of the world it seemed. more money than anyone of my friends, most popular kid in school, voted most likely to succeed, famous around my town, and i had the respect of those around me... i had more friends than i could count and i always had a girlfriend on my side... super successful in everything i did.... can you imagine having all that at such a young age, and for some reason still being unhappy? it is a very confusing thing to experience... it makes you just wanna reach for more... more of anything! something that might make you feel better or feel filled.... you have the whole world and you are still empty. i have been there. i even began to question why i even chose to live anymore... but at that very moment God was waiting. He was waiting for the moment when i let go of my prideful searching of my happiness in the world. He spoke to me for the first time in my life. He gave me joy. i felt His love. I accepted His offer, and my life began to change... i was no longer empty in my heart while my body had the world at my fingertips... my identity had been rooted in Jesus. My joy had been rooted in Jesus. my heart began to be filled by Jesus. my cares began to be cast upon and cared for my Jesus....
Jon, if you read this, Jesus is the only one who can fill these empty areas of your heart, brother... ive been where you are. not on the same level. but ive been there. ive felt the emptiness while you have the world at your disposal... and ive felt the confusion of not knowing why i was still unhappy when i had everything i ever wanted... i know how you feel bro... Jesus is the only one who will ever be able to fill your heart. You have one of His most famous quotes on your chest. He put you where you are, brother... He can make this journey bearable. You just gotta surrender to him, brother. Jesus is strong enough take all your burdens... no matter how much you accomplish, no matter how many records you break, and no matter how many men you walk through... you will always be empty until you allow God to fill the areas of your heart that you look to MMA for. i have been there brother... i know it is true. ive lived it.
