We lost a member of our Unbreakable Family this weekend. Our friend Judson Allen passed away. Let me tell you a little about this man. It would be difficult to find an individual who more positively embodied the spirit and mantra of “The Unbreakable.” These are the words/phrases that come to mind when I remember him.
Relentless. Forward. Progress:
Judson was living his dream life. He did not live this life by chance. He lived it because he worked his ass off for it. I promise you that Judson failed more times than he succeeded, and it is because of that, he had his most monumental successes. So many times we can get derailed in our quest/journey, because it might not be working out, or we have setbacks, or someone says “no”. I am convinced that Judson did not know the meaning of the word “no”.
Judson, my friend, you continue to inspire me. I promise that I will never give up, because I know that you NEVER GAVE UP.
This Is Not Your Practice Life:
When someone young dies, you often hear about how they had “so much life yet to live”. However, when I heard of his passing, I thought exactly the opposite. “Judson, you lived every second of your life to the fullest. You were always working toward your dream, to live the life you imagined…and holy crap, you did it”. I never had this conversation with Judson, but I believe, in some way, he knew his days were short. While he only lived to 36, he packed at least twice that much into his time on earth.
I am forever grateful that I had the pleasure to know him.
