Survival of the fittest

"Don't rely on anyone else for your survival." Manage your expectations. If you start relying too much on people for your reality pings (as I call them), you will be let down.

This world is a crazy place. You have zero chance of making it wonderful unless you really train and retrain yourself to be fit. By fit I mean C-H-A-M-P. You have to be on your "A-Game" all the time. You snooze, you lose. I have constantly been in the ON mode in many areas of my life. The times I am in the ON mode, I can take on any challenge, any situation and handle it right. It's days when I am not in the ON mode that I seem to get challenged the most.

It almost looks like people can look at your body language, or your tonality and pick up cues and put you on a pedestal. I've had people at work run me over on my worst days and I am left thinking, "Oh man, not today...." But the reality is that I have to fight it today, and not yesterday or tomorrow. RIGHT NOW is what we're living for. Tomorrow, I have not seen. Yesterday is so "yesterday" to worry about.

Overall, I think in order to survive this world, you have to be fit. Being fit means being fit mentally, physically and emotionally.

Training yourself to get better and better is the only answer. Be honest to yourself and ask yourself...."now what do i need to improve in myself?" and you will have at least 2-3 things instantly pop up in your mind. Let's write them down and start working on ways to work on them.

Here are three things that come to my mind:
1. I need to stop being impatient
2. I need to live my own life and not be outcome dependent
3. I need to sleep better

Well, I have answers on how I wanna handle each of these areas. Every month, go back and look at these three things and see how you have fared over the past month. Add 3 other things to improve on. It is a lot of hard work. But people who want big rewards, usually work really hard.

Remember to thank yourself and the people around you for giving you the opportunity to prove yourself. And also remember that sometimes you just need to take a break NO MATTER WHAT!

Don't get run over by society's rules. Make your own rules (within reason).

Remember, physical fitness leads to a lot of mental fitness! Make sure you work out, even if it is just for a little bit. It will give you renewed vigor!
