Allo Hello people of the interwebs and welcome to another Monday; Hold your applause.
After a very eventful weekend, I'm feeling a bit shaken but not stirred (Nice Bond reference ehh?). It was a crazy few days for yours truly but hey...I'm still standing; of course with a grin implanted upon my face. And on a bigger positive, USA won the CONCACAF Gold Cup!
MERICA!!!
Anywho...Monday has arrived at our front door once again and oh my goodness her knocks on the door are a little bit louder. I think she really wants our attention... If you're feeling down and in the dumps due to the weekend coming and going or you just had a bad string of days come your way, fret not for you are still here on this 3rd rock from the Sun.
Throughout all of the heartbreak, banter, drama, and bullshit you are still here on your two feet. You might not be all here mentally (not because of lack of brain power...) and emotionally right now however you can get back to a happier state of mind; and then power leap over that to become even more awesome; as long as you are breathing everyday is an achievement.
I did a little exercise in my limited time this weekend; I had 2 pieces of paper and wrote down things about myself. One paper was a past version of myself filled with emotions, events, thoughts, and other things that surrounded me and defined me as a person about 2 years ago. The other was the current version of myself with the same amount of information just in present day. After I wrote down everything (and man it was a lot...) I circled things on both the past and present versions of myself in paper form of what I thought were faults of mine. Once I finished, I read the past version of myself...
And then burned it.
The dark figures of the past will always be a part of us but it should not be the main focus of who we are as a people right here, right now. You can't always fix things in the past but you can manipulate things today to help you become better as a person and make a brighter future for yourself. Working with faults
...that's what we do; looking back at the faults and misfortunes that I had back then and to stand here now with less of them shows what I am able to get over, fight with, and make better.
I am human therefore I am not perfect; I still have my faults and ways that many people may not agree with...but at the end of the day they are mine.
And I'm completely okay with that.
Everyone can be successful out here in this world. It may not be all big houses, fancy cars, and white picket fences at the current moment of the game; you can progress forward with a little hard work and fortunes will come your way. There are some things about you, the people you associate with, and events that you get involved in that you will not be able to change...no matter how hard you try. When the difficulty of the game increases, don't step back into the darkness; step up and take the challenge head-on.
So today go out there, prepare for battle, and make it happen.
Your future success and futuristic you depends on it.
Love Yo Face. Enjoy Your Monday.

"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."
-Earl Nightingale
