An idea of work

Posted on by

When you think about work you should not think about something negative.

Your work should complete you as a person, it should embody your ideas and ideals.

Phil

I hate it when people start like “Meeeh, have to go to work again tommorow.”

I can understand when people have a little day-job just to get some bucks in order to support their real ideas of work. When they work in order to gain support for other plans, because, well, money is important after all.

But the attitude that you work in order to earn money to have a nice free time is just bullshit!

You want to tell me that you have to be bored or stressed out 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, just to have the so called freedom to do what you want? If that is your idea of freedom than you are a sad excuse for a human being.

Freedom is doing whatever you love for your living. It is this because only when you love what you  are doing you can truly be excellent. You have to embrace your work, you have to fullfill your dreams with your work.

Work is not at all a negative term. I love that I have work to to, I easily get bored when I can’t work towards my dreams. I know that it is not like this with everyone but noone should hate their work. If you don’t like your job, quit!

Again, I do not talk about side-jobs to earn some extra pocket money, I talk about jobs that finance your life.

Everybody can do what he dreams of, you just have to have the courage to dig through a lot of tough shit in order to get there. But believe me: It is worth it! Keep digging, we’ll meet at the other side 😉

Why not?

If you have to question wether you do something or not,

you should not ask why but rather why not.

Phil

I just learned something about the career of Lena Meyer-Landrut. For those of you who don’t know her, she won the Eurovision Song Contest some time ago and became an over-night popstar in an instant. I don’t want to go into the topic of music or pop music, I don’t want to talk about taste or preferences.

What I do want to talk about is this: Before she started in that show, she never had anything to do with professional music. Neither did she play an instrument nor did she ever take singing lessons. You know why she attended the casting? She though: Why not, let’s try something new!

And now look where that attitude has brought her!

Again, I don’t want to rate the quality of her success, I just want to show you how you can impressively expand your possibilities just by applying the “why not”-attitude.

You can do it!

To never get it wrong

Amateurs train until they get it right. Professionals train until they never get it wrong.

Despite being sport-related this quote is important to everyone!

Think about it: When you learn for something or train for something, what is your goal? Your goal is to get it right. That is a good goal, but it does not help much because when someone asks you if you could you do it, you will hestitate and think to yourself: “Hmm I’ve done it once, but can I do it now? Here? In front of people?” BAM! You lost. Right there.

That is why pros train for never getting it wrong! That’s when you know you get it right every damn time and you can proudly say: “I can do that!”

This should be your goal!

Let’s do this!

Okay, this is pretty rough stuff, but it is motivating like hell, enjoy!

If things went all medieval and you had to fight a guy like me over your girl, I’d ravage your ass and take her. You okay with that?

When your girl is out with her friends, she’s checkin’ me out because I’ve worked to improve my appearance and it shows. You okay with that?

You think you’re safe out here in this world? You think it’s okay to be this unfit, lazy little monger? You know you’re not safe in your job, I’m sure. Every day you go above and beyond to make sure that the cutthroat guillotine of labor supply doesn’t mutilate you into an unrecognizable, unemployed piece of shit. Why do you think it’s different with your fitness?

How’d you get to where you are? People look at you and laugh. People use you as a benchmark to change their own habits. You okay with that?

Let’s get it poppin’, kid. No relapses. It’s kill or be killed out here: it always has been. Sure, we changed the rules a little and added our own little trifling sense of justice and morality. But nothing’s really changed.

Don’t be one of these assholes making pathetic reoccurring attempts to change their lifestyle. Don’t whine about it. You’ve got self-discipline and nothing else in this life. You’ve got one try: to fail once is to fail every time. In six months, you’re either going to be a pathetic, guilt-ridden failure, or a fucking tribute to human will. Your bitch of a mother-in-law will make comments like “I can’t believe it…” Your girl will get nervous about how much you can accomplish just by setting your mind to it and start asking you to tell her she’s good enough for you. Assholes who taunted you will have nothing… nothing… to say. You did something they either simply couldn’t even begin, or tried and failed miserably.

And then when my girl is out with her friends, she’ll be checking you out, motherfucker. Let’s do this!

What you need in order to be happy

Give me the serenity to accept things that I can’t change.

Give me the courage to change things that I can change

Give me the wisdom to distinguish between those two.

Philipp Kleidt

You have to accept that you don’t have control over your life!

There are so many outer circumstances that you can’t do anything about, don’t drive yourself mad. But on the other hand don’t be that passive guy that thinks the universe has everything planned out.

Be wise enough to chose when to take action and when to remain calm and happy.

Work with your fear

If you are afraid to fall,

you will wall because you are afraid

I don’t know where this is from, it is often used around Traceurs and Freerunners but can be transferred to any situation in life.

Everyone is scared and so are you. That is not a bad thing. It is important to learn how to work with your fear, use it as a source of energy. Don’t let it drag you down!

Imagine!

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited while imagination is endless in its form.

When you lose, don’t lose the lesson!

It’s easy.

Sometimes in life you will lose. Actually you will lose often, if you live life fullly.

So don’t be an idiot, don’t lose the lessons, life is teaching you!
