Coming to terms...

The idea of coming to terms with a passing is wonderful. It really is a beautiful notion.

Getting to that point is a whole other ballgame. Every inning is full of challenges. Curveballs and fastballs. Sometimes its a quick 9 innings and other times its a drawn out 21 inning battle. For so long I thought that I was in a quick game. I'm learning with each passing day that I was incorrect.

I have had a serious lack of time to process the game footage and it is really hitting me hard.

2 months ago I lost my "coach", and it is finally hitting me, like a 99mph fastball to the ribs. I just want my uncle back.

Effort is paramount to your growth as an individual.

YOU LEARN NOTHING WITHOUT EFFORT.

YOU GAIN EXPERIENCE THROUGH EFFORT, BOTH GOOD AND BAD.

YOU GAIN NOTHING WITHOUT EFFORT.

MAKE THE EFFORT TO GROW AND LEARN MORE.

FOR FUCKS SAKE, DO IT.

BUILD A BETTER YOU.

I shit you not. I wouldn't lie to you. I gain nothing from that. I want you to grow as an individual. To do so, you need to make the choice to go out and kick some ass. 

Will you get knocked down? Occasionally. Will you succeed? Sometimes. Will you grow as a person? MOST DEFINITELY. 

I see far too many people resting on their laurels, not wanting to make any effort in life and it frustrates me. Am I guilty of this? Of course. But, I am trying to change that mentality for myself. I want you to make that change for yourself. 

You can only grow as an individual. That effort that you put out could make the difference in finding a new friend, love, or something as simple as a hobby. But sitting around doing nothing will only accomplish nothing. 

I want you to be the best you that you can be.

Dont hold yourself back.

Instructions For A Bad Day...

I have slipped. My grasp on this blog quickly fell through. I hope, no, I strive to update it, to keep up on it. Whether anyone reads or not, this meandering mess of words on the screen has helped me through the day. So fingers crossed that I can keep my fingers to the keyboard and keep this going.

Today I wanted to share a video that many have seen, but I want you to listen to the words. Really listen to them. You are not alone.

Remember that after today is tomorrow. If you are having a bad day remember that by the time tomorrow comes around, today is but a moment in history. 

You Got This. Conquer Today.
