Motivation - Keep Moving baby: Thats how winning's done!

I procrastinate with the best of them. I do all the unnecessary just to put of the necessary. In fact this is me on a good day:

Tales of Mere Existence - Procrastination:

But what does procrastination actually achieve? The longer you put of the necessary, the more urgent and necessary it becomes.

It does not go away it just gets bigger and bigger, so that the task of completing it seems even more enormous than when you started.

Sure the short term gain is that you let yourself of and you don't have to think about that big task (whatever it may be, project, deadline, job app -insert yours here) for today.

But tomorrow you will have one less day to complete that task, and the day after tomorrow you will have two less days to complete that task and so on. Plus if we are continuously putting of things that seem hard in life - what kind of person does that make us?

How will we grow? How will we learn to overcome if we don't attempt to climb over those obstacles instead of pretending their not there?

How will we learn if we're too afraid to experience?...

And maybe thats the crux? We are afraid. We fear change. We fear the unknown. We fear Fear. But let me tell you. You are better than that:

Life is not easy. No one ever said it would be...No body will hit as hard as life - but "its not about how hard you hit its about how hard you can get hit and keep on going - thats how winning is done!"

Our Deepest Fear: by Marianne Williamson
(as heard following video link: Motivation - "Be Great, Powerful Beyond Measure" )

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Rocky Motivational Speech to his son - click here for video version







"You used to fit right here. I'd hold you up and say to your mother, this kids going the best kid in the world.  This kid is going to be somebody better than anybody ever knew.  And you grew up good and wonderful it was great just watching you, every day was like a privilege. 

Then the time came to be you're own man and take on the world and you did!  But somewhere along the line you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good and when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame. Like a Big Shadow. 

Let me tell you something you already know. The world aint all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it...

You me or nobody is going to hit hard as life, but it aint about how hard you hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. Thats how winning is done!  

Now if you know what you are worth go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers saying you aint where want to be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that aint you!  You're better than that!

...Until you start believing in yourself you aint gonna have a life."

UNTIL YOU START BELIEVING IN YOURSELF YOU WILL NOT HAVE A LIFE.
SO MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT PUT OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. DO IT TODAY. GO OUTTHERE AND BE THE BEST YOU YOU CAN BE. KEEP FIGHTING ADVERSITY AND OVERCOMING THOSE OBSTACLES BABY... I BELIEVE IN YOU DONT YOU....
