The darkness within

 "I am not afraid of the dark, I have fought demons my whole life. I've been knocked down, bruised, and broken, but I never gave up. I kept fighting because I know that the greatest victory does not come from defeating others but in conquering the darkness within myself. " - some random guy  I realized something today. The path to success is not achieved from external wins, but instead, I must master myself. If we are to really think about it, then the things that hold us back are usually from within ourselves. The world could give a damn about what I do. Neither against me nor with me.   The lack of discipline is what restrains us from fulfilling our goals and ambitions. Sleeping in. Skipping workouts. Cheat meals. Scrolling and procrastinating when there's work to be done. Partying. Drinking. Watching sports. Watching Netflix, youtube, whatever you can name. THIS! THIS is the DARKNESS within! How can we be great and conquer the world if we can't even conquer our...

Gracias

Thank you. Thank you for letting me see my friends and family again. Thank you for reminding me of why I do it. Thank you for letting me relive the good ole' days. One week, nothing extraordinary. It was peaceful, a slice of the old life. We don't get much days like these anymore. Everyone's grown up now, but home always feels the same when the whole squad's there. Thank you. I'm grateful for all my blessings. I feel reinvigorated. POWERFUL. When Monday comes, I want to just disappear and GRIND. I want these coming days to be the most grueling that I have ever faced. I want a FUCKING CHALLENGE. COME ON!

Things don't always go as planned but we are here now. Everything led up to this very moment. We are living in this exact frame of time. We've survived everything that WAS - every trial and tribulation seems so insignificant when we look back. Think about it! Your grades in HS never really mattered that much. The swim meets and band auditions were just for fun... they've never mattered. The presentations in college, the lab experiments, the bs little quizzes, the club meetings, I could on and on. That is the past. What of the future, the mind seems to always assume the worst scenario. I understand why, it is to prepare for the unknown. When the mind prepares for the worst, the present suffers as if it was already here. Let's be honest, the future is never really that bad either. As lon...

"NOOOOoo! You were my BROTHER, ANAKIN! We LOVED YOU! You were the CHOSEN ONE! You were MEANT to the DESTROY the Sith NOT JOIN THEM!" Update: Yo these phonk edits and remixes are amazing. Anyway, I've been reading some of the old posts and damn... its like a bipolar on the verge of mania ahhahaha. Peaks and troughs. I will admit though, the ability to convey the energy in the moment is very accurate. Right now, the vibe is neither a peak nor a trough. It is procrastination. An examination in the morning. The clock strikes 1, and I have no urgency still. Time to lock in. I will write when I get back, I must study.
