Humble Pie

Image
This week I was served a realization. An old school harsh butt whoopin (a well needed one too). First of all, by no means am I a master at writing. No credentials at all in this department. Secondly, from this day forth, I shall never submit shitty work again. That does not represent me. I should be editing a paper but procrastination is a force to be reckon with. Its rare nowadays to find someone who will give it to you straight. Too much sugar coating and pussyfooting. An old school coach or mentor who will call you out on your bullshit is ideal. That's how we get better! I NEEDED THAT realization. If anything, I am more inspired now than ever, to be better. Honestly, the world needs more people like this. I had my serving of humble pie. Now back to the grind.

Resistance

 It appears that procrastination has gotten the better of me recently. This resistance. I can do all things but sit down and write the essay. But why? I can work on neuro, chem, and do the lab but... sheeeeit. Why cannot I not force my self to write the beloved paper? (I'm actually writing this as a way to jump start my writing mind) Resistance as Steven Pressfield describes it. Here's a story to jump start my writing.  [inspired by the Witcher series I'm reading] Decades after the war ended with Nilfgaard, the age of monsters had come to an end, and Geralt was left without his profession. With his leg fully healed and lust to crush monsters, he sought out new ventures in a different world. Traveling back to the tower of Swallows, Geralt focused his futures on the renowned land of Midgard aka Earth. Sucked in a wormhole of rainbow light, Geralt was blasted upon the earth in which he sprawled out on a flat green prairie. How peaceful. The sun glistened in the sapphire blue s...

For the future me -Don't Read till 3/10/23-

 Greetings to Future Me, Today is the day! Seize the DAY! I promise you from this day forth I will work every waking moment to create the resilient, unbreakable, badass super beast. Through my habits and work hopefully I can become the role model I've always envisioned. May that dream become a reality. --- Discipline Never again will I slack away the beautiful hours of the day. Not until my work is finished. Gone are the days of browsing useless Youtube videos. Forget the Lakers and Nets replays, begone with Dramaalert. Netflix and League? ... with family time but never to burn time. There are more productive hobbies to past time.  Today is the day you stopped taking hot showers - ice for life baby. Hardest of all right now, but I will rise earlier in the mornings. Sunlight must not be wasted. Body You WILL be able dunk. King of the Court. I'm done with the sulking injured leg excuses. Stretch everyday, workout at least three times a week. Creatine and cals; get those calories...

Resolve

 Top of the world G. Mile high club. Feeling GREAT. I've found the secret to all successes and greatness. TLB all grind no glory. Greetings to future Me, I believe I have uncovered the secret to life. The key to greatness and the code to all successes. I've discovered it this week: consistency. A little bit everyday goes a long way. No need for motivation, just have discipline and consistency. Whether you feel like it or not, go. The grind is what builds character and grit. Don't think of the glory now, focus on the grind. Get in that work.  As for the second bit, resolve is essential for happiness. There is no time but now. Honestly, most people don't really understand the phrase "Just do it" by Nike. Its obvious but most people don't do it; we procrastinate over and over again. People will wait "for the right moment" or till they feel like it. These are terrible habits which result the production of anxiety and worry. If there's task, a pro...
