Proactive
A quick recap of the past couple days.
On tuesday night I fell victim to food poisoning from under cooked korean bbq made by my mom. I ended up going to the ER that night and getting an IV with some pain killers. I spent 5 hours there but it was totally worth it. They sent me home with some meds and after a few days i felt fine. I missed a few of my classes and will have to work to make up the lost work.
The NFL kicked off on Thursday and today Dallas played against Jacksonville. Dallas lost 17-24. I'm not worried. I think we can still take it all.
What's really been on my mind have been these rants I've been having. Mostly me complaining about this or that. Nothing significant. I ended up coming to the conclusion that I really need to just stop complaining about things and that I need to take matters into my own hands. I have so many goals and dreams yet I seem to just sit on my ass and never do much to reach these.
To be honest, my number one goal is to be a great husband/father. But I realize, that in order to do that, I must first become attractive to women. And by attractive I don't just mean good looking. I mean I have to appeal to women both physically and mentally. And by mentally i mean finanically secure, mentally secure(my own mental health), and be able to show my true personallity to women.
So in my realization to do these things I realized that:
A. I need to do it, it's not just magically going to happen
B. I also need help
So I went ahead and bought a book from a guy, who I already had subscribed to his weekly email. His advise had always been great and I had read a few samples from the book. After reading the book I've learned lots about my self and my mental process and how I need to change the way I look/think about things.
While looking at my mental state I've also started going to the gym again, started my famous "sit-up wall", and have really started focusing on my school work.
I know it's going to be a long slow process to get to where I am going, but I am now confidant in my ability to do it. I've always been about instant gratification, but now I realize, good things come in time. And while I may still be single, slightly out of shape, and at IVC, i realize that this is just the beginning. If i strive to constantly improve and continue to be proactive in my own life, I will reach my ultimate goal.
And with that, I will leave you with some lyrics from Fort Minor - Remember the Name
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
But fuck em, he knows the code
It's not about the salary
It's all about reality and making some noise
Makin the story - makin sure his clique stays up
That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin it up!
Forget Mike - Nobody really knows how or why he works so hard
It seems like he's never got time
Because he writes every note and he writes every line
And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind
It's like a design is written in his head every time
Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
And those motherfuckers he runs with, those kids that he signed?
Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?!
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
