Personal motivation and why it is important to never forget why you started a journey.

Sharing a sincere feeling I had yesterday to hopefully help anyone else out there who may be feeling the same. (Feel free to share)

I was having some huge motivation issues yesterday. I had hit a wall with some personal projects I am working on and my spirit was just down in the pits of self-hatred, and just wanting to give up. 

I wasn't getting the results I wanted, my personal growth was starting to slow down and I was just angry. 

Angry that I wasn't moving forward, and where I wanted to be wasn't happening. Delays, bills, trying to learn new skills and not getting it (as fast as I would like to) was just creating this feeling of self-loathing where I thought I had hit my ceiling. That this was as good as it was going to get for me. No point in trying anymore. Just ride the current and just give up trying to better myself.

That led to me being frustrated and laying on the couch in front of the T.V. and not working on anything.

So, when my partner had the chance to talk to me. She gave me a hug and let me dump these feeling onto her and she help me navigate to a better place by reminding me of who I was. What I wanted in life was worth working for and not giving up on.

Thanks to my fantastic partner that she reminded me I needed to stay strong and even though I was not receiving any immediate benefit that I needed to push through. I forgot to stay hungry. If it were not for her I would still be having a case of the poor me's. Poor Lyon and his horrible life where he doesn't get what he wants even though he hasn't deserved it yet.

I am not that person, I am hungry to prove what I can do. Anyone else out there who has a bad day should never forget the reason for why it is why you do what you. It's because you want to. Not because you are forced to. We make this choice to live our lives to the fullest and break through the ceilings and keep to shooting/pushing ourselves farther into the stratosphere, and even though we may have some morale issues along the way. We should never stop moving forward.

My life will be something different than everyone else's just due to the simple fact that I am my own person. What I make of that is my own choice, and I choose to keep fighting and to keep being hungry.

Thought I would share this video that reminds me that even though things may look bleak, you have to keep going and eventually opportunities will present themselves so long as you stay hungry and prepare for those moments.

"Its better to be prepared and not have a opportunity, then to have a opportunity and not be prepared"

Les Brown

Stay hungry everyone.
