From 24 miles per day to using this walker to get to bathroom. I’m on my way back. Gonna rebuild with patience and equanimity.

I knew walking across America was going to be dangerous. I knew I could die doing it. I still might. So don’t feel sorry for me. I’m proud I’m in this hospital after chasing my dream and not sitting on the couch watching Netflix. I’m proud of this pain.

THE WALK ACROSS AMERICA.
DAY 126 || HOME || 1797/2833 MILES WALKED.
I’m now able to walk without the walker!!! I still experience pain in my leg, especially when I first stand up. The furthest I’ve walked is to the kitchen or the car or the bathroom.

Beginnings always hide themselves in ends.
Two months ago I was in the ICU at Park View Hospital, using a walker to get from the hospital bed to the bathroom (which I ok could barely do). It took three weeks to recover from the rattlesnake bite I got in Eastern Colorado.

26: I'm living out in LA, I drive a sports car just to prove
I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars and I spend it on girls and shoes
37: donated massive jordan collection, drive 4runner, don't need to prove anything to anyone other than God, love myself. If i buy myself something nice, it's because i love myself and i deserve it, not because i'm trying to prove to others i'm good enough.

The past two weeks have been ones of transition. I got a new car, packed it up and got the F out of LA. That will no longer be home for me. While walking I realized I wanted to set up my home base someplace with a deeper connection to the land. After climbing a few mountains in

New 🔥 - Live Before I Die - (full music video out now) - this is a little snippet from the music video. This song and video mean lot to me. It took a lot of support to get me to walk across America. Here you see a few of my closest loved ones who stood for me at the very end.

This walk continues tomorrow, after having a minor setback due to the rattle snake, it’s time to pack up my bags, tie my shoes, revive my spirit and head back to the open road. So many amazing states, & cities I have crossed but i can’t wait to cross so many more state lines!

26: And I can't keep a girl, no
'Cause as soon as the sun comes up I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
But the truth is I can't open up
37: overcame my fear of intimacy and old patterns, worked though the pain of my previous breakups, recognized how much having a wife and family would actually mean to me, got the best help, did the inner work, and now I’m in the healthiest and most beautiful relationship I’ve ever had.

This was one of the most beautiful places I’ve been in my life. Walking across America was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Thank you @zzlatic for keeping up with me 20+ miles per day to get these shots I’ll have for the rest of my life. KEEP GOING

I still have about 186 miles to go. I have deserts to cross and mountains to traverse. I need to keep my mind focused. Thinking of the end is poison for me while I walk. Stay focused. Keep going.

The walk is over but I’m not done. I thought I was going to get depressed in the days following the end but fortunately, I have not. I think this is because I’ve continued to employ many of the good habits that I started on The Walk. Namely, and maybe most importantly,

I’m really needing to focus in now. Everyone is congratulating me and asking me what this walk WAS like but I still have business to take care of. My mind is wandering a lot. I got over these mountains in this video and I’ve been walking in suburbs. I hate it.

When my career was at an all time high and I had the number one song in the world, my mom called me and said:
“Dad has a tumor in his head the size of a tangerine. They’re going to take it out tomorrow morning. You need to come home.”
I immediately took the next plane back home to Detroit.
10 months later, my father died.
My friend, Avicii, killed himself.
My peer, Mac Miller, died of an overdose.
Soon after, a childhood friend of mine, Ronnie, died.
I finally looked in the mirror and said to myself, “Hey man! You’re going to die”.
When I came face-to-face with my mortality I realized something that changed me. I realized that I had spent my life waiting for the right time to truly come alive.
It's as if I was preparing for this special moment in the future where everything would just click and I’d really show up, really give it my all, really be the FULL ME.
I realized that now is the time. It's the only time we have.
Don’t keep waiting to live your life until the right time. It will never come.
Start now and KEEP GOING!

hi, my name is Mike Posner ✨✨✨✨✌️
Yes, yes…I’m the guy that saying I took a pill in Ibiza…
But being famous didn’t make me happy so I walked across America to find myself.
i discovered a lot…
Almost died…
Now I’m back…
To share my music
but i’m gonna try to do it in a new way…
where it’s not about me getting more and more famous,
but about love, inspiration, health, and happiness.
Here goes
