A message for when life leads your off the well worn path.

[Crazy_Monkey_Brain]

We all have stories that could make the world cry, that's just life. Life will chew you up and spit you out if you let it. It does not care about you. That's the brutal nature of reality, you are on your own, reality is all just yourself (literally) reality doesn't care about you, it cares only for fulfilling its survival needs but you must fight! (self actualize) Every moments life lurks in the shadows ready to eat you up and spit you out, just waiting for you to quit so it can have it's lunch! But you're better than that! You my friend have one life and only one life, you are a warrior! You must begin to self actualize and dream a vision for your life, this is necessary for your very own happiness and success. If you do not take responsibility for your life and let it blow wherever it wants to go you won't enjoy it. Challenge your mind when it tells you you can't do something your mind is your survival elements and does not care for your personal success or happiness, you must command your mind to do what you want it to do. Be that relentless warrior that finds a way no matter what. Be so stubborn your mind says "this guy isn't going to quit, he's not quitting, we must find a way" You see, your mind is your most powerful weapon you have, but once your mind starts to control YOU it's game over, be in charge of your own mind and do not let it control you. When I was 100kg and overweight I looked at these healthy dudes and said I could never do that, that's their life not mine, I would be that way if it wasn't for money issues, I would be that way if Is had a better childhood. Maybe I would have control over my diet if my dad didn't leave me when I was young. Then I paused and asked myself 'What if'. What if I could. What if I don't need the perfect childhood to make it work. What if I can! The power of saying "What if" immediately cuts off the brains automatic self defeating bias. It's all about recongising those thoughts and going to war with them asking "what if" "What if I can!" There was a point in my life where I was everything people told me I was going to be, a nobody, my life was going nowhere, I worked at a call center I hated, was in debt, didn't care for myself, or my life. Diet was awful and overall look on life was just bleak. But I had this one itching dream in my head. It wasn't to become a billionaire or start my own company, it was a dream to live the lifestyle I have always wanted to, one day after getting off the phone with a horrible customer, I said to myself "this is my life" "This is it, this is all my life is" But then a voice somewhere whispered "But what if motherfuçker!!" "What if!!!" So at that moment I got up and without saying anything to anyone I just left Left the building never to come back. I have no plan B. I knew it was going to be hard. But now was the time to change. Now was the time to re shape my future. I had to trust in the universe, god, anything really that it would work itself out! I stopped chasing the 'doller' and started pursing the things that mattered to me, taking the time to enjoy life and start living it the way I wanted it to be. You have to trust in something, the universe, god, Allah whatever you want to call it. Believing that the dots will connect down the line is vital for when life leads you off the well worn path.
