Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I will meet you there.Rumi
Sometimes it is important not to limit yourself to categories like right or wrong, good or bad…. to allow your mind to think freely.

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!

There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.
David Burns
While other people or circumstances in general can bring happiness, it is you responsibility to be happy!
I don’t mean “feeling good” or having a good day, I speak of a deep, genuine feeling of happiness flowing through your body, embracing your soul. I know this sounds cheesy, but if you’ve been there you know what I’m taking about.
If you haven’t: Keep looking, it is worth the search. Genuine Happiness is more worth than liquid gold, genuine happiness is what life should consists of!

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.

There will be sleeping enough in the Grave.
Benjamin Franklin
Yep, we need sleep.
But ask yourself this: Do you need to sleep in again on 11 AM? Do you need to sleep in instead of getting out of your bed and getting stuff done?
I know it takes disciplin to get up early not only occasional but frequently, but it is damn worth it. Work on your skill to get up early, it will save you much truble in life!

If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not working on hard enough problems.
Frank Wilczek
It is NOT good not to make mistakes.
Why? Because progress requires making mistakes and learning from them. If you don’t make mistakes, you are doing it wrong!

Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Thomas Edison
Some people might think that opportunities just suprise you with an offer like “Hey, just come here and say yes and I’ll make you rich and successfull!”.
Guess what? That’s bullshit. Most of the time you don’t even realise how many opportunities you have got. Every single piece of work you get done is an opportunity for bigger things.
Keep that in mind. Opportunities are nothing to be awaited like your dream just knocking on your door. You have to actively pursue your dreams so that in the future you can look back on all the opportunities you have created and taken.

I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of a man is to live, not to exist.
Jack London
Often people are afraid of dying. They should rather be afraid of never living!
There is a huge difference between existing (in a material way) and living (in an emotional, spiritual and material way), so make it count!

I want to share this great video-ad about luck/happiness:
The key is to make your own luck guys!

Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.
Ambrose Redmoon
You know the drill. EVERYONE has fears. Everyone is scared and everyone is limited in his own way.
That is why you have to learn how to work with your fear instead of trying to get rid of it. You will always experience fear, no matter what. Important is that you know this: Fear is just your brain telling you to be cautious. When you approach new areas of life, when you tackle different situations, it is new to you, you have to get used to it.
Use your fear as a motivator, as a stimulator. Embrace it and be happy about it, because it makes you human and it shows you that what you are doing at that moment is real!
Don’t ever whish for a life without fear for that would probably be the most boring life ever. Life is what happens OUT of your damn comfort zone so get your head out of your ass, go out there and have some goddamn fun!
Enjoy the weekend,
