Obtaining Is Never As Hard As Maintaining —

Nothing is more frustrating than knowing that “we” are our own archenemy. We as human beings are always at war with ourselves. Constantly battling, attempting to improve anything that’ll stimulate not only our own tastes but everyone else’s. The key to staying motivated, focused, and ambitious is knowing that not only can we never please everyone but we ourselves will never be satisfied. We will always want more, we’ll always feel as if we came up short, however this should not be discouraging, it should be gasoline to the fire already burning. We will always be in a 1 on 1 match with the person in the mirror. Our reflection can genuinely determine the strength of our mind and in that sense we can either triumph and win our mental fights or parish and loathe ourselves. Knowing that everyday I wake up fighting who I use to be for who I know I can be in life is the best and worse thing for me, because only I can stop me. Everything is so much easier when objectives/goals are given reason. Mine is “progression”, and ultimately success in my dream of becoming a martial artist. Understanding purpose is crucial when it comes to self-improvement because without understanding we will never allow ourselves to become a priority within our own mind nor our heart. Stay strong, stay proud and stay focused, many times things will seem difficult, pointless, and a waist of valuable time but sit and legitimately ask yourself, are those your thoughts or are those the fabricated words that have potentially been implanted within you by the naysayers, sandbaggers, and guilt trippers. Live for yourself or regret all your decisions that you’ve made for others, especially if you’re the kindhearted person that puts others first. Have a great day.
