What Great Men Do

All great men have one trait in common: a time for reflection. They take a moment out of each day to recollect their thoughts; one could call it metacognition - to look at where emotions and thoughts originate from. Look at Benjamin Franklin, he journaled everyday and now, he is the face of currency. Mark Twain, Warren Buffet, Thomas Edison, Augustus, and many more keep a daily journal. In a way, it is like a progress checker to see what state of mind leads to success and what leads to failure. Thus, I will begin journaling everyday on this blog (except Friday and Saturday). 

An update: Greetings Future Me, it is Tuesday night following Labor Day. The clock strikes eleven o'clock in two minutes and I must find 1900 calories to finish the day. It is like I'm in an eternal cut because I cannot bulk for shit (although I shoot myself in the foot by always skipping lunch and breakfast LOL).

In truth, I have fallen astray these past weeks. I have been living the way that society deems happy - partying, drinking, going out, eating out, etc. Don't get me wrong - it was fun and I met plenty of splendid people. Met old friends and made new ones; however, I have severely damaged your sleep schedule and your gains. I apologize.

On the flip, I have been strengthening your hamstrings and your knee pain is almost completely gone. I will invest for you, Future me. Rasy and I will get a new pair of Kd's tomorrow. It is late. Farewell.

(Hamza is semi toxic but has some useful information, Dr. J complimented me for the first time - feels good bro, my new scrubs a little tight on the booty kekw  , I am motivated again)

(I refer to the future me in second person because it makes me realize that my actions do affect another person, the future me. Likewise, I would never push my/today's problems on someone else like the future me. I will strive to give Future me the best life possible.)

That's happened to me

 I've never wanted something so bad in this life. It is almost as if I am manic. I've lost my mind... "I've lost my mind doing this doing this sht. Like Vincent van Gogh. He dedicated his life to his art and lost his mind in the process. That's happened to me. But f--k it."   -The Notorious      Every second of everyday is dedicated towards this one goal. I train and study every waking second until my mind is mush. Until every fiber in my being is screaming for me to stop. Until the people around me beg me to tone it back- then I keep going. We are more capable than we believe, and now, I finally get a glimpse of it. I've squandered many years with half-assed effort, but no more. The goal is all I think about now. It wakes me up every morning and keeps me up every night. Everything else in life on hold. Let's fucking get it.

Legends of the Fall

Greetings to the future, It has been a while old friend. My hiatus has finally come to an end, for I have found my way again. All is well in the world. I have found the path that must be walked. A reason for the struggle. An end to the road. A why. I have found it once more. I know what I want in this life. This dream now keeps me up at night and has me leaping out of bed before the sunrise. When we wander aimlessly, no amount of motivation can carry us through the storm. A ship with no direction will never reach the port.  I will do everything it takes to get what is mine. I will do great things. I promise you. Remember this day. 1 year to make it happen. WE RE BACK BABY! LETS GET IT "What we do in this life echoes in eternity." -Gladiator II
