Homelessness is tough. And so often we, as people, look into that world but only from a distance. We don't consider the difficulty, and hardships that might pile on top of a homeless person. I had gone through the foster system and usually, through no fault of my own, I found myself back on the streets numerous times.
I hope to be able to shed some light on the thought process that I had as a homeless person through my experience and, in turn, help viewers understand how difficult it can be.

Life can be a losing fight. Let's win it together.

Understanding Homelessness - Winning the Losing Fight - Episode 4 Part Two 20:59

לפני 35 weeks20:59

In the last episode I talked about my experience as a homeless person. In this episode I wanted to discuss a recent experience I had on social media regarding homeless people. My hope is that through my experience we can all better understand some of the struggles they endure and maybe that will help others to have more compassion and understanding.

The Mouse and I - Winning the Losing Fight - Episode 3 22:04

לפני 39 weeks22:04

We never really understand how our presence affects other people. During one of the darkest moments of my life I spent an evening talking to a mouse and sharing some cheetos. I had just lost a friend to suicide. I was in the middle of a divorce and the emotional toll that life was taking on me was settling in. That was until this mouse decided to keep me company, in exchange for cheetos. That night I contemplated a lot of things during my conversations with that mouse. In this episode, I share some of those thoughts and how this mouse saved my life. Life can be a losing fight.

Better Than You Were 17:58

In this episode I talk about some of my experiences with negative situations and how they impacted me. I want to encourage you to always strive to be better than you were. Since I was very young, no matter my surroundings, I have always felt out of place and inferior to the people around me. I always drag the anvil of feeling I don't belong or am not good enough to share the company of others in most situations. This may be why I have been compelled to open so many businesses over the years, to create a world of my own where I feel comfortable and knowledgeable. The one quality most champions have is the belief that they will one day be champions. I have never known that feeling, but the one thing I built my entire existence on and still motivates me today is this. I absolutely refuse to accept that I am not good enough, and no matter how you make me feel by my being in your presence, I will show up anyway. Even knowing I would feel awkward and out of place, I would still show up. To me, facing the fear of looking dumb or inadequate is a way lesser disservice to myself than the tragedy of allowing those feelings to control my life and possible success. I promised myself when I was young that I would not accept the cards dealt to me, and that determination carries me through each day. Remember, the only person you have to be better than is the person you were yesterday. If you do that, I promise your life will change. Never accept that you have done all you can; there is always more work to be done and more to accomplish. Proving others wrong feels tremendous, but nothing compares to proving yourself wrong, especially in the face of doubt. Life can be a losing fight.

Win It Together 14:23

For as long as I can remember, people have told me I needed to write a book and that I have a unique story to tell. I don’t believe my story is any more exceptional than anyone else, but I am proud of how far I have come. After surviving a horrendous first seven years of life, I spent much of my childhood in foster care and being raised by the streets. I was a terrible student, mainly, I think, because no one seemed to care, so I just did not put forth the effort. After I was released from the foster care system, I was homeless and sleeping in all-night laundry mats and, therefore, had to drop out of high school in my junior year to seek employment and a place to live. I had high hopes for myself yet never seemed to have the means or opportunity. I got married at age eighteen and had my first child at age nineteen, and I knew then that education for me was going to have to wait. I got my GED at age twenty-two and became a police officer at age twenty-five. The rest of my adulthood has been spent raising my family, starting businesses, and enjoying a successful martial arts career, earning black belt ranks in multiple systems and certification as an instructor in Muay Thai. I have owned and operated my martial arts school since 1992 and am currently the Oklahoma State Director for the U.S. Muay Thai Association. I am also a bail agent and state-licensed bail enforcer. I was drinking and smoking before age 10, had contact with law enforcement by age 11, and was expelled from school at age 12. I've been arrested, I've been homeless, I've been let down by the system, ignored by teachers, I've been beaten, shot, and stabbed, all before age 17. I have since then had cars repossessed, homes foreclosed, have built a life only to lose it again, have lost jobs I loved, and have been betrayed, heartbroken, depressed, suicidal, and broken. And the one thing I have done daily is to look for, hold on to, or create a reason to be here tomorrow. To dream large, whether I believed I could achieve it or not, to prove the nay-sayers wrong, and once I put my foot on the gas, I refused to let off and didn’t intend to do so anytime soon. During a speaking engagement, someone asked me how I gauge greatness and whether I felt I had achieved it. I told them I didn’t believe I had and that “I may never achieve greatness, but I am a great distance from where I started.” We all have a person inside us that we try to distance ourselves from. A version of who we are or used to be, a person created by chance, by circumstance, or even by the decisions we made. The key is learning how to put distance between that person and the person you want to become or the person you know you can be. One thing I know is true: you will not create this distance through any other person. Although having the proper support around you can be crucial to success, no one can walk for you, hurt for you, or grow for you. Relying on others to change you only benefits them, not you. Be patient with the process of personal development. Sometimes, thinking too far ahead can make the goal seem impossible. For me, it has taken years of my life. Years of doing the opposite of what society thought I should do. Years of stepping out of my comfort zone on my own to find a new way to challenge the stereotype created by the circumstances I was born into. Know that the process will never end; embrace it, and I promise that one day, you will look in the rearview at many versions of yourself and realize they were just acquaintances. Versions of yourself you barely knew. They were the ones there to help you if you heeded the advice they gave or paid attention to the example they showed you. Learn from them and then create distance. Troy W. Green - September 3, 2024 Life can be a losing fight.
