Some where on the other side of the world

Today is one of those days. A day I will remember forever.

I have seen it. I have seen what some people willingly go through. The struggle. The suffering. The losses. Just for an opportunity.... An opportunity that us bozos take for granted everyday.

Imagine traveling thousands of miles on foot across deserts, swamps, jungles, and unknown territory. Imagine people trying to hunt you down everyday. Imagine losing half of your family along the way. Imagine not knowing a damn person in your city, not to mention no one speaks your language. Now imagine.... despite all these struggles, all you care about is doing well in school so you can make it. Your one goal is to grind until you have a life that makes everything worth it. I was beyond humbled to witness such a story. My dedication to my craft is like a mole hill to a mountain in comparison to this individual's commitment to theirs.

In the same way, there's probably a kid somewhere on the other side of the world who is your exact age. They wake up at 4AM everyday and work from before the sunrises until after the sun sets. Just studying for hours and hours. Eating nothing but a bowl of rice and an egg. Running, lifting, training... every. single. minute of the day. They have no other pleasure in life except to improve their craft. What's my excuse ? Too much wasted time already...

No more random BS. It's time to focus. Celebrate when the work is done. Lets get it.

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
