    noiz viol8ion blog #785 – Remove the Want

    I must remove the want from the future goals I set. Wanting is a desire, a yearning. It reminds me of things I do not have and makes me feel weak and lacking. If I want something then I do not have it and if I do not have something there is a reason. My mind will come up with all the reasons why I can’t have or why I don’t have currently. These reasons could be. I am not good enough. I do not have enough money. I am not handsome enough. I am not influential enough. I do not have enough help, friends, time.

    All these outlandish excuses populate my mind and have the ability for me to believe them.

    I must not fall to these excuses and instead be resourceful enough to use what I have to make the next actionable step. I must build from a point of strength not lack.

    Everyone wants something but there is an obstacle keeping us from getting it. We tell ourselves the same things over and over as to why we can’t have the things we want. If it’s a new car we say we can’t afford it or it’s too expensive. If it’s dating we say the person is too attractive or we are too ugly. If it’s an activity we say we’re too old or too fat. If it’s a job or passion we say that we not good enough.

    For everything we want there are millions of excuses out there that we use. You keep telling yourself the same excuses and now believe the excuse. I challenge you to create new excuses for why you can do something not why you can’t.

    Blog #204 – The Struggle is Guaranteed

    No matter what life is going to have ups and downs. There will be pains and pleasures.

    All of the pain is a given.

    The success and pleasures are up to you. These feelings are not given. You have to go out and take these. You have to make these happen. This is what it means to live a life with no regrets. Even if things do not work out you want to be able to say you gave it all you got. You went after your dreams. You didn’t make excuses.

    You might as well fail doing something you love.
