I'm in a rut

You ever get in a rut? You feel as if everything you do is pointless, it doesn’t mean shit and you’re just wasting your time….oh you don’t? well fuck you and your happiness buddy. Once in a while I’m overcome by this feeling and it halts all of my progress in all aspects of my life (studies, work, and training)….I gotta tell you it fuckin’ sucks. I see no progress in the gym or on the mats, work is painfully slow and I wanna strangle my clients, and it’s like the text books I’m studying are in fucking Aramaic. Luckily this feeling doesn’t last very long and I can smack myself out of it eventually. The more I speak with people, the more I realize how common this feeling is…you’re trapped in the same routine and it almost seems impossible to get out of, BUT….I’d make that but bigger if I could, where there’s a will there’s a way dammit….while we can be influenced by almost everything around us, we are the only ones who can control what we do and who we are….whether we succeed or fail we always have the power to control the outcome and influence as much as possible. Truth be told your professor didn’t fail you because he hates you, he failed you because you didn’t study and turned in half ass work…and your professor hates you. Once we stop being victims of our circumstances and our surroundings we can start succeeding, if we give in to every set back or stop at every obstacle we’re just fuckin’ stuck…so you might as well lay down and die you worthless no talent ass clown. Your boss didn’t fire you just because you’re an asshole, he fired you because you didn’t work hard enough to make yourself an asset, you always came in late and left early, and because you’re an asshole. This quote always makes me feel better, it’s by one of my favorite authors and a guy I idolize….and I feel like tattooing it to my forearm to be constantly reminded of it

“Where you are in life is exactly where you’re supposed to be because of the things that you’ve done up until that moment in time. To do anything else but accept your current situation would be crazy. The real thing to do is to decide where you want to go and then use both consistency and patience to get there. Enjoy the ride. It is, after all, the path you’ve chosen in life.”

Now quit you’re belly achin’ and start putting in some fucking effort.
