I got kicked out of the army after I smoked a joint when I buried my dad. A lot of shame was installed in my head. My team and my friends turned on me. I was so low. I got into some pretty hard stuff and did some pretty low things. Now almost 3 years sober the biggest thing I learned is your past doesn't define you, your actions do. There is no good or bad people, just the choices we make every day. Thanks brother, I needed this video today 🙏

(I am not a psychologist, these are all just patterns I've observed in my own life regarding nature, take this all with a grain of salt.)The person you once were is still you just to a far lesser extent depending on how old you were when you did it. Your actions do define you in the eyes of everyone around you, but nobody knows who you truly are; We all have skewed ideas of ourselves, we put ourselves in a more favorable light and sometimes in a less favorable light than we actually are, but you're right as long as they don't know about the past, they only know you for your current actions no matter what happened in the past they know you for your actions and your actions alone. I can't be sure on this but I think good and bad do exist mainly for social animals which would benefit from the notion. This isn't an attack on you as a person I just thought you ideas were interesting enough to reply to with my beliefs.

This one hit home. A lot of things I’ve done that im not proud of but can never take back and we can’t keep guilt tripping out present self for our previous self’s mistakes. Thank u for the reminder Besteban u ain’t got nothin to prove to nobody but u and God 💪

My uncle who spent over 30 years in the Army and was a full bird colonel always told me that there was no point in saying sorry because it never fixes anything. If you're really sorry then you have to show somebody that you're sorry because otherwise words don't mean s***. That being said I can't give you any advice on how to fix it but the man I respected more in my life than anyone else was adamant about not saying sorry and showing people instead of saying it. So if someone decides they're not going to take an apology then it should be totally understood because at the end of the day sorrys don't mean s***

This helped me stop overthinking fr I appreciate you bro fr 💯💯💯

Much respect for sharing this story with us bro! You’re a good dude! And way to encourage others not to feel bad about themselves!!

Making right would be giving him his money back plus interest, that would be fair. I'm sorry so many of us got hooked on pills

Yes you're correct. Paying the money back is what a man does.

Thank you, bro, I've had some things on my mind for some time that happened years ago. But seeing what you've experienced and your message it truly helps me see a different view of the positive side.

So glad you have changed, we all have fallen short. God Bless you and so glad you are doing better. God has a purpose for you.

I feel you. Him and other YTs who preach sobriety, is one of the main reasons i even thought about quitting the 3-4 diff substances i was on. It's absolutely possible. It's a long road, and its a lot of pain, but it's completely worth it. I pride myself on being 2 & 1/2 yrs completely clean, and i hope some of you out there can maybe start thinking about it, or start doing it, or have already done it. It's not the strength of the body that gets you through quitting, its the strength of the mind. "A moment of pain, for a lifetime of glory." I love you all - Jake

You a good dude and making the best of yourself and I really respect that, keep trying to be your best. You’ve gave me get advice before.

Respect to u bro, I'm in similar story, my dad injected me with heroin when I was 14 years old, and It nearly ruined my life, then I was homeless and started robbing my friends when I was older, then when I got clean, those demands caught up, and luckily coz I did kickboxing for 6,7 years, I tried to apologise but this 2 guys wernt hearing it, so I tried to walk away but I had to beat them both up, I stopped once they said they dint want no more, so I shook there hands and that was it. Respect to u bro, we all grow and learn, true g ✌️👍👌

I think to make amends you should pay him back in full w/ VIG. Make HIM WHOLE if u can afford it. MAY GOD GUIDE YOUR JOURNEY IN SOBRIETY

Amen to that bro keep it humble and push that positivity. I remember I got robbed in high school said he had a PlayStation to sell he took my $200 dollars and never gave me my PlayStation but yeah I’m still struggling but hope I see that light at the end of the tunnel. God bless everyone.

a few years ago i was 14 and got locked up in front of all my classmates for a bag of weed but i learned from those mistakes and i can see myself i changed by the choices i make now and growing mentally and seeing you also young and talking wisdom and forgiveness inspiring keep up the good videos fam i like this shit 💪💪

Quadie for the slipped zip🧐 huh 😳 Dude and his fam are still getting jacked all these years later I would have expected double bye now lol🍂🍂🌿🌿

That’s good how you handled it, most people can’t give up the smallest amount of pride and it gets them into trouble. Thanks for sharing the video. He handled it funny. Your the bigger man

i used to be a stick up kid. i have robbed over 50 people for weed and money. like you i was on drugs (xanax). I have had this exact situation come up just last month. I left the situation so down on myself. but it just reaffirms the change i made in my life was for the better. I needed this video more than you know. thank brother

At the end of the day you were the bigger person to step up and apologize what was on your heart. Respect and honor to you man and I needed this video to give me the courage to do the same. I believe everything happens for a reason. Congrats on getting sober, keep up the good work, hope all is well and God bless!! Ps-God has a plan for you. They don’t know me son!!!!

Bro robbed someone off 300 dollars and tried to make amends with a Q 😂😂😂

Yeoo , I like your videos G. Would love to see you post more boxing training content , like you hitting the heavy bag, padwork, you know like preparing for a fight type beat.

​@LordBesteban don't let YOUR PAST HAUNT YOU

Besteban. I applaud this, making amends and swallowing your pride and ego to right wrongs is a commendable thing to do especially now a-days. I am also sober coming up on 11months now. My life has changed drastically. You shared how you let him lay into you a bit and kept your mouth shut, well done. One thing I would note when making amends to this dude. You shoulda let him know that you were going to get him back on the money you stole. Only way to truly make amends, obviously an apology is a good start. But to have been like and “bro I know I was wrong I’m gonna get you back that money I stole let me get your cash app” woulda been the icing on the cake. Then, your side of the street is 100% clean. Just my 2 cents but good shit pimp we need more of this, we’re all human baby!

You're a good person. Its hard to not let our past be a reflection of ourselves. You're doing the right thing by writing your wrongs. Forward progress brother. ❤❤

F the haters, bro. I messed up too. We all do. God bless you bro, I know you're a righteous man.

Man thanks for this besteban for real. I had a really similar lifestyle to yours from what I've heard. I did a lot of the same scam type of stuff during my addiction to heroin. Been sober for almost 5 years great video

Bestebon I never met you but i can relate to your exact words keep your head up and keep grinding I have made repect for you

❤ Esteban, you're a great man. Thank you for taking the fight with me. You are an amazing example of what a man who wants more can get more. Much respect to you brother.

It’s love but how can u be mad that he said don’t f wit his family no more? That shoulda been expected, na?

Your a young wise man! Good message.

Well, a man would say I'm paying you back that money

You've always been good to me Esteban.

I never paid a buddy back for $1,200 he put in for some garbage to sell. I snorted it all and left town. Almost a decade later I’m still trying to figure out how to approach him to pay him back. I’m not afraid of a few licks. I’m afraid he’ll leave my kids fatherless. I’m really ashamed of my past, but I know he doesn’t give 1 $#!+ about my story. Addictions will put you in a really bad situation if you let them. I know I’m not a piece of $#!+ anymore, but man, your past can really haunt you.

Reach out to him on social. You can apologize there and offer to pay him back electronically. That way you can clear your conscience and stay safe at the same time.

i like this videos, it shows that people can change

I used to roll up yard grass and drop it on the sidewalk and watch people pick’em up.

There's a guy called badboybeaman that is trying to find a boxing opponent for a keemstar event. Not sure if they found one yet but that would be a bad ass fight between you two.

I salute u bro for real… I’ve calmed down a lot myself, but damn no lie bro it would have been something… u can’t take my apologies then fuk u… I seriously would of got heated… so yes I salute u to the fullest!

That’s exactly what I’m going through right now.

Its all about how we live in the here and now. Yes the past is bad sometimes but this is the best thing to do. Right the wrongdoings and live a better life. 💯

Pay the man his money if you’re able. that’s the true measure of the man you’ve become, from the one you left behind.

All that matters is where your at now stay up brother

Damn bro, Life is crazy . No one has an original experience.

You are far from a terrible person, bro. The world needs more people like the man you are today. If you cross paths with that dude again and he starts more bs, invite him to the yard!

Atonement is a genuine man's way of balancing out the universe, and himself. More people need to take note of your moral compass.

Nah bro you good man if he mad tell him come to the ring he wont last 2 rounds

The past is the past. Beef Match *"NUFF SAID"™️*

The fact that you are seeking to amends shows that you have reflected on what you did, recognised that you were that person, but as a result you have grown. The guy you tried to make amends to is still stuck 10 years in the past. Until he let's that go, it will always be something that holds him back. The lesson I would say that was taught to you that day was look at how far you've come. As much as that guy got under your skin and put doubt into your mind, even for a moment. Be happy you are not him. Walk your path, you are doing great 🙏🥊.

🙏🏽

You need to bear in mind we are all different how we deal with things. He was probably raging, but either knew he couldn’t better you, or couldn’t get it on whilst he was with his family. Just as he shouldn’t judge you as your younger self, don’t judge him on feeling like he wanted the last word.

I pulled the same stunt in high school as a prank. Dang. Squashed it a long time ago though.

We all fall short from the Glory of God. We gotta repent of our sin and make amends to the ones we wronged. JESUS the way the truth the life

A free quarter lol id want a lot more than that

💯

These the type of people that deserve to be known.

Could of be handled easier and just gave him the money back a apology doesn't make him whole ...this just got it restarted they going look to catch you slippin ...

The key is to repent, confess, submit yourself, hold yourself accountable for all the wrong you have done. Make it right. Give yourself to the most high. Pay it forward. Always remember Karma always comes to collect.

Great message bro 👍

I did the same thing it's part of the old life

Good people can do bad things. Clearly, you’ve come a long way from 10 years ago. In defense of the brother - he doesn’t know anything about your journey. To him, the last 10 years don’t exist, he only thinks of you as the guy who robbed him. And that’s fair. It’s great to try to make amends, and apologize, but not everyone will accept your apology. You’re putting a very different energy out to the world now, and that’s the important thing. We can’t change what we did yesterday, but we CAN do something different tomorrow. To fall, and get up, and learn, and try again - that’s being human.

My name is Earl... good show you should watch it.

Sometimes good people do regrettable things, all good

thanks

We're all sinners but never forget the sin of pride is what caused lucifer to fall to hell.

The right thing would've been to say I was young and dumb and I'm gonna pay you that money back. That's what I would've done.

I had someone I knew really well....friends who fkd me over a house that affected my parents. Will I ever forget......no.....I won't. I hope he rots in hell. Some things stick unfortunately and you make those decisions at that time. Money doesn't come and go for some people

Let he who without sin cast the first stone. That said I think the words You ROBBED someone doesn't quite fit here. In my thinking you rob someone at gun or knife point, as in you take by force. You deceived someone but they willingly gave the money over. While this is still bad it doesnt compare with physically threatening or hurting someone. I think you're being a little hard on yourself. Everyone alive, myself included has done things we regret, but if we step up to the plate and own the wrong things we have done and are truly repentant The Big guy upstairs will forgive us even if those we have wronged don't. You're not a bad person, but you, like all of us are imperfect and learns to, and this is a big one, FORGIVE OURSELVES. Sounds to me like you aren't quite there yet, but brother, you will be.

Am I the only one that laughed at his first statement 😂😂😂

RESPECT. we all have skeletons and demons. It's up to us to let them consume us

One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was someone telling me that I'm not the worst thing I ever did.

Let him be angry, he has a right to call you say w/e you gotta accept that. His dad coached you. You scammed him of weed, not cool man.

Your a thief? Thats ok, as long as you keep making the fight vids

btw not everyone is here to throw hands.. It is the principle, you robbed his LITTLE brother. you gotta quit offering fades to fools you robbed, Karma still there, you don't know what you owe. Good luck

You can't be a hypocrite. You must forgive others in order to receive forgiveness. Matthew 6:12,14-15 [12]And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. [14]For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: [15]But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 5:7 [7]Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 7:1-5 [1]Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2]For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. [3]And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? [4]Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? [5]Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
