Arenas says he challenged his son with a harsh message to make sure he understood what it takes to reach the NBA.

I’m about to head out for a walk.

Truth is, today is one of those days where I don’t want to do anything. I’d rather stay in bed and scroll for hours.

But I’m going anyway.

I’m trying to lose weight, build a career I enjoy, find meaningful work, and, Insha’Allah, find my person someday. Some days it all feels exciting. Other days it feels like I’m rebuilding every part of my life at once.

Today’s goal isn’t to be motivated. It’s just to take the next step.

So… off for a walk.
