I have a business online and right now I am getting ready for the beast of Blogs.<\/p>\n<p>Also a lot of yall know what I went through with the army.<br \/>\nIt wasn\u2019t a pretty sight and I went through depression and I tried to take my life.<\/p>\n<p>But the question remained in my head until I asked myself today.<br \/>\nHow did I fall in such a hell hole?<\/p>\n<p>What was the reasoning behind it. I said it was just the pounding of insults and feeling useless\u2026which was a part of it but how did I open myself up to it?<\/p>\n<p>I have fought the depression and now I am fine. My journey was a walk on coals and obstacles but I got through them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I sacrificed a lot<\/strong> for what I have achieved and my vision I thought was to help specifically veterans getting out of the military create a online business and I still will do that.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is whenever I think of military it puts me in a place of pain. I don\u2019t even want to think of it. Still happens and then I remembered something that happened to me at an event in Denver.<\/p>\n<p>I was the most transparent I ever been on that stage at the after party as I told my story. I was nervous but I wanted to let it out and <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/about\/\">David Wood<\/a> let me.<\/p>\n<p>After I finished this guy jumped up and hugged me. I didn\u2019t even realized what I did but I changed something in him. He wasn\u2019t alone. An neither was I.<\/p>\n<h2>My Testimony in Denver Don\u2019t Be A Wussy<\/h2>\n<p>But the question still remains, how did my pain start?<\/p>\n<p>I believed it started when I covered who I really am. It took this long and I had to have different experiences to just understand myself.<\/p>\n<p>I have a free spirit that will not be controlled. I believe everyone has it but they suppress it or it\u2019s suppressed over the years. Mine has manifested into something that I will not suppress anymore\u2026I\u2019m crying as I\u2019m doing this\u2026holy shit\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It manifested in the weirdest way, through just being a nerd lol. I read books of fantasy and sci fy when I was young. Throughout high school I built relationships with people who enjoy playing games..getting our minds off of what we think is the real world.<\/p>\n<p>Halo, Dungeons and Dragons, anything game play where my mind was somewhere else. Even outside I loved to go places and not have a care in the world. <em>I love to travel on my terms.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>What those experiences did was manifest something powerful.<\/h2>\n<p>When I joined the Army, I thought I could afford to go to college so I can have a job I wanted so, I can enjoy life\u2026 In reality it\u2019s not a job that I wanted, I didn\u2019t know of anything else inside my minds box.<\/p>\n<p>I should have listened to my 12th grade English teacher..\u201dColton I don\u2019t think you will like the army simply because you don\u2019t like to be controlled\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t understand it till today but, what happened when I joined the Army was that I suppressed something that wanted to be free. Free to do whatever it wanted. Play games, imagine myself in a different universe. Free to go see and have fun with friends. Free to see and experience <strong>what the world can offer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I suppressed my own free spirit, the light went out of my eyes and I didn\u2019t want to live. That is why I went into depression..The moment I gave up and squeezed the trigger was the moment my light broke through and said<em> I am fighting for you<\/em>. The power from that is still pushing me. Still manifesting and from this day has been recognized.<\/p>\n<p>All I needed was a way to set it free, and that is and was with <a href=\"\/?id=coltonbridges\">Empower Network<\/a> and the Blog Beast<\/p>\n<p>Millionaires become Millionaires because they do only the things they are good at and mastering them. I will master mine and become a legend leading millions to real life.<\/p>\n<p>I love the lifestyle of freedom which for me includes video games, travel and accepting I am a nerd.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Money is just an obstacle, and it won\u2019t get in my way.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I walked on coals from hell, now I run leaving a trail of fire and purification for you to follow. What people think is reality; I will burn down and show you the true meaning of freedom and life.<\/p>\n<p>love to live, live to dream, dream it to reality<\/p>\n<p>Colton Bridges<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to know the plateform I use to jump my success<\/p>\n<p>and <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/watch\/\">make money online<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/blogging\/\">blogging<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/colton.bridges.79<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is going to be\u00a0 a long one but I want to get it out As a lot of you well know I am a blogger.
