The Perfect Time is now



So many of us are waiting for the exact right time to attack. We wait for the stars to align before we make our move in life.
While there are times those stars do all perfectly align & that miracles do happen, it is more often the case that it will never happen for you!
If you don’t believe that life is one big test and we are the test subjects, you have another thing coming! No one is exempt from experiencing hardships in life.
In the military, we carry rucks in which we put all of our gear. In life, that rucksack is filled w/ all the shit that we carry around that we never dealt w/ in our lives. It is up to you what you want to continue to carry in your rucksack & allow to weigh you down! If you choose to empty that motherfucker out, choose to pull out 1 item at a time. For me, the 1st item was my insecurities. Once I fixed that, I started shedding some weight.
There are so many days when we don’t feel like working on ourselves- when it would be much easier to stay in bed and not get up when it would be easier to say fuck it to putting on the running shoes, when it is easier to buy the box of mini-chocolate donuts, etc. Some times it feels so damn good to just be the victim. Having that mentality is the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card.
One thing bad about that mentality is that NOTHING fucking gets done! So when you fail (and I don’t mean win, I mean an inability to try!) and you feel like a loser and worthless, it is because you have made a decision to fail. You have made a decision to stay in bed, etc. A lot of people frequently say “there is always tomorrow”...the truth is there just May not be! There is only today and what you make of it! You have to learn to do when you don’t want to do!
When that alarm clock goes off & ur mind says “not today,” there has to be something in you that overrides that bullshit that you are telling yourself. There has to be a drill sergeant in your mind banging that trash can not be allowing you to take the easy way out. The hard part is this- that drill sergeant doesn’t exist! You have to create him/her! What helps me on those bad days is reminding myself of all those dark days where I chose to let myself down.
