I wrote the following little spiel, after writing out some of the things that were going on in my day back at the end of October this year.
It demonstrates how I understand that sometimes I feel like I can’t afford to waste time writing or reading or exercising or spending quality time with the people closest to me.
I found out the hard way that you can’t afford NOT to do them.
Society always tells us how to be, and this is the most frustrating things I have ever experienced.
Hope it helps.
Been loving listening to David Goggin’s lately, as he just says you need to callus you brain.
By callus your brain, he is referring to the tough, hard skin that forms on your palms where you grip a bar to do chin-ups or other weights that involve steel bars causing immense friction through that and you grip.
Moreover, do the things that make you the most uncomfortable.
It’s almost like a guiding compass pushing you into the direction that you actually need to go in your life.
The hardest and toughest things are the things where you have to go through the most suffering to obtain.
Nothing that’s ever given to you is worth it or important to you.
Everything that involves some kind of sacrifice of hardship, are going to be the things you tell your friends, your family, and your kids one day down the track from now.
You will explain it with such power and emotion as you are almost revisiting what it was actually like to be in that moment again, reliving it, and embracing the raw emotion that comes with it.

Also highly recommend his book “Can’t Hurt Me”, which you can find through the above link at all book outlets.
