Lucky Number 13

Nothing really symbolic of that number to me.

How do you take the next step, when you are not sure what to do?

The majority of the population will do like I do and wait for someone to tell them what to do.

It is safe.

It is ingrained that is what we should be doing.

Taking a step forward into the unknown is frightening.

So we get brainwashed into thinking of all the things that can go wrong and fantasize about the things that could go right.

The term entrepreneur is now a buzz word on social media.The hashtag brings up photos and videos of the good things in life, expensive watches and Porsches.

The often neglected and downplayed is the work and the lonely hungry nights.

The countless times’ someone told you to just get a regular job. You felt that urge to. To cease the money bleeding and get comfortable. Settle down, find your quiet place in the world and get some peace.

Or numb the senses until there’s no resistance left in you.

Yet, still, your best asset gets taken for granted. You let your mornings turn to afternoons, which then turn to evenings. Before you know it, it has been a week, a month, a year.

What an exciting and anxious time to be alive. Harness your willpower, and the ability to achieve will be yours.

So say no to the easy things. The quick bucks and the sleazy fucks.

The fast food, and the poor attitude.

Life is yours, and yours is life.

Run a little longer, grow a little stronger.

Most people quit when they’ve got 40% left still in reserves.

Struggle longer seize what you deserve.

To think that you are anything less would be absurd.

Get out of the way, or lead the herd.

Funny how a day ago, I was criticizing my self. Complaining about my lack of rhythmic skills. While obsessing about incoming bills. Patience breeds practice, which produces liberty.

Not in the civil sense, but in the ability to pursue whatever you desire.

Dictate your desires to be great.

Not mediocre, not average. We are all running this rat race. Why set a slow pace?

Armchair quarterback preaching here. Come Friday I will drink too many beers.

My admission of fault does not depreciate my self-responsibility. Or give me an out, for subpar hazardous behavior.

I am not perfect but I can make small changes to trend positively.

The most important thing in life is to try. Then when it comes your time to die. You can never question why.

I speak on mortality a lot. Commenting on the damaging habits I have. This may be because in these moments of content creating focus, I can be self-reflective. However, when the moment comes I will partake in the inebriation, the inhale of smoke. Because I am not in the zen of writing. I reward myself for work done or lack thereof or another day has gone by and my willpower is low and the company I keep is strong.

Which is why some people disagree pertaining to the proper time to work out. Some people reward themselves after a hard morning exercise routine, by overindulging in calories. Making the sweat equity they put in be worthless.

Yet you see the most sought after cars in the morning. Albeit those instances are rare.

I guess you can’t win ’em all right?

Further enforcing the importance of stepping up to the plate and swinging.

As Gary Vaynerchuk says one is greater than zero.

Everyone has the same number of hours in the day.

Utilize your best asset to better you.

Your future self will thank you.

I can say this because of the exact reasons why I complained about in my last post.

Yes some damage was done, yes I am sitting in the hot seat, but the good news is I am healthy and able to change my stars.

Or not.

Guess we will see.

A lot of people myself included are obsessed with the instant success. We want it now, not later. If I can get it now I swear I will work for it. Then the papers are signed and the credit extended and you find yourself trapped.

If you don’t appreciate the struggle, you don’t deserve the reward.

So yeah you can get down on yourself. Point the finger at all around you.

I don’t judge you because I do the same frequently.

But one thing is certain. The day I stop trying to improve myself, should be the day I die.

As always,

Hang Tough,

Live Creatively,

Be Bold.
