The Iron Soldier

Image
Update: We reigned victorious on the recent battle of week's past. It is only onward and upward from here. Today, I saw the power of sheer discipline. I was able to catch up with a fellow broski who I hadn't see for a while, and oh how the tides have turned. Earlier this year, broski was renown as the party guy, but now, he is the essence of the iron soldier. He was able to carry out the plan, the regiment and level of discipline that we always spoke about. Driven by the crushing pressure of failure after failure and disappointment after disappointment, he disappeared into the shadows. There was no more leeway... 1 more mistake and it was to the chopping block. I did what I could and gave what ever advice I could offer. That was one moon ago. This evening, I saw the product of a month's long grind. At exactly 445, the Iron Soldier rises. First, he says a prayer of thanks and then immediately begins his morning grind. As the sun rises, he pauses to appreciate the splendors o...

Tame the beast

I have lost the way. Without order entropy will entail... I let myself loose and find myself working deep hours in the night and slumbering away the day. Later and later it I went. I did whatever I wanted - exactly as I wrote, but this was no way to live. It was weak, I gave in, I let the lizard brain dictate my life. Was it comfortable? yea, but I always felt like I could do more. There needs to be structure. The mind commands the body, not the other way around.

Peak Freedom

Greetings to the future,      I am back. These past few weeks I have been locked in, but more importantly, I had a paradigm shift. This whole year... I didn't realize how good I had it! These two years will be the free-est I'll ever be in this life. I have no obligation to anything besides what I love - and that is to LEARN. Play young wild and free piano cover . Think about it. I wake up anytime I want, sleep whenever I want. I eat whatever the fk I want, whenever I want it. I lift when I feel like it. I'm surrounded by a great group of people who are on the same path as me. My one task everyday is to learn about the thing I dearly love. I fought tooth and nail to be here, and I will no longer be taking it for granted. No two days are the same hahahaha because everyday we learn something new. This beautiful city is filled with culture, and I get to explore it every weekend! After removing that self imposed schedule on myself, the sky just looks so much bluer and I feel l...
