I Don’t Have It All Together—But I’m Not Waiting to Start.
I’m David Cote—a medically retired Air Force vet, husband, father, and man on a mission to rebuild everything I once lost: my health, my faith, and my self-trust.
For most of my life, I waited.
Waited to be more disciplined.
Waited to feel ready.
Waited to feel whole.
But life doesn’t wait. And eventually, I stopped.
From Hiding Pain to Helping People
For years, I carried my pain in silence—hiding behind cigarettes, food, shame, alcohol and the weight of past failures.
I didn’t talk about what it felt like to spiral after combat. I didn’t admit how my health was breaking down. I didn’t tell anyone how stuck I felt—mentally, physically, spiritually.
The truth? I didn’t need a new goal. I needed to stop lying to myself.
What changed wasn’t a program or a magic formula.
It was a choice to stop running. To stop hiding.
And to start showing up—one imperfect step at a time.
That’s when I stopped waiting to be perfect—and started showing up with what I had.
What I Believe
Discipline beats motivation.
You don’t need to start over. You need to keep going.
Your scars aren’t your shame—they’re your story.
Faith doesn’t require perfection—just presence.
Real change starts with one honest step.

Let’s stop chasing perfection—and start showing up.
