Become a machine

Imagine how far you could go if you just let it all go - the distractions. Just for 1 year, not even that - just for 6 months. What if you disappeared and just worked. No commitment to anyone but the grind. Everything else takes a backseat. "If I finish then I go."  You could get so much done, you could go so far. I WANT THAT. I've been connected for too long, and in reality, I can't relate anymore. When I try to laze around or take a day off, I just think about studying or the next project or the next paper. I find myself doing Anki in every available free moment. There is no longer any joy in going out or staying up, especially when there's still work to be done. Unless we're training or studying, count me out.  I don't know what's happened; it's hard to explain but there's this DRIVE TO JUST DO. It is like a HUNGER but not for food. Some kind of excess energy has gotten into me. I want to dominate and conquer everything, TO WIN. You know wha...

Read this if you are broken

Yo Future me, where ever you are in life right now, I want you to remember that these were once good days. You were happy once. Right now you are on top of the world, but that's not why I write this. I want you to come back to this when life smacks you across the face - when it kicks your fking teeth in. A snapshot in time of how you are in the exact moment; that's why I write these and right now life is good. If life is grand and the birds are still singing, then go on your way. --- You're still here... that means sht must have hit the fan. You're broken... What is it this time?  Is it failure...?  Is it regret...?  Did the universe turn its back on you?  Did the hustle and bustle of the busy life finally slow down? It's easy to take things for granted when you're living off the highs of life. But you are here now because you must have deviated from the path. The veil has been lifted, and now, you sit here empty.  You turned from your roots... You must have sol...

The Hero

Image
Everyone wants to be the hero figure . The guy who everyone looks up to. Wise, strong, courageous, humble, and honorable.  The one who stands up for what is right no matter the circumstances. The one who takes the time to teach and guide. Guardian of the weak and incapable. The hero does not complain, does not hate, and does not make excuses.  He lives for something greater than himself. He is the man who is willing to sacrifice himself to protect his people.  BOOM. A fight breaks out? An elderly man suffers a heart attack? A fire starts in the building? A group of bullies mock the outcast? Bystanders freeze in fear, they wait... they wait for someone ELSE to step up - the hero figure.  A man who stands up and fights even when all odds are against him. He is the man who is not afraid to fail. There are heroisms all around us waiting to be done.  I am far from it, but I will work everyday till close the gap. What is stopping us from becoming the Hero? LETS WORK F...
