by identifying passion. you really have to sit down and identify what are the things in life that would make you happy, what you could work endlessly towards and something that makes the length of time irrelevant. finding something you are unequivocally passionate about will give you that motivation.

Coming from a parent of four young boys aside from bullying what people say to them is the least of my worries....I'm a big guy and the older boys always say they wanna be big and fat like daddy :okay: anyways its society as a whole that can be detrimental to childhood...if I raise them with morals and ethics, to keep trying when the fail, and to always treat others they would want to be treated and so on. ..society isn't going to hold them back :victory:



It may be a long road to success but once you stop believing in yourself the road ahead of you gets longer. To me motivation doesn't have to be complex, I keep things simple. Motivation is just moving one foot in front of the other towards better and greater things....that and I want my kids to have opportunities that I never had growing up. Plus probably as important is not doing it for others feelings but doing it for yourself. Rise to the occasion. I have faith in you.



Now to my rant.
Dad I wish you were still around so you can tell me how the fuck you raised us 4 kids. I have 4 of my own now wish we could have chatted and compare war stories. I just put the last one to bed ffs. I give you props. It's harder than I thought it would be but if you did it , I'm going to do it too. Miss you old man. You would've loved these little guys.

^^ Don't worry about it. I learn form long ago that as long as I try my best that's all that matters. We are born and raise differently. I know for a fact I won't be as successful as someone who goes to private school, have tutor lessons everyday, goes to university etc etc but hey my parents are still proud of me. I have to live and be proud of who I am.

I am a criminal, I don't do drugs or steal, not into gambling. I have a decent job, great gf, great friends, purchase an apartment so I think I am pretty successful. Putting too much pressure on yourself is not a good thing.

I don’t like the way he’s looking at you
I’m starting to think you want him too
Am I crazy, have I lost ya?
Even though I know you love me, can’t help it

I GOT THE JOB :joy:


I'm so excited :D

great wisdom thanks!
and good luck with the kids

I don't answer your texts and calls for a reason. Please forget me and move on babe. I'm not good for your health.

CONGRATS! :toot:

Well I met up with the woman I talked to on the phone on Friday night. We had coffee this morning and it went well and we had good conversation, but there was no chemistry so we're not seeing each other again. But I'm glad we met up.

girlfriend and I broke up more than a month ago and now I feel I want her back, I don't know if it's because she started hanging with her ex again :\

It's crazy how something so small can completely change my mood for the day. I'm probably just over thinking things... at least I surely hope so.

Starting a new job out in Langley next week, excited and kind of nervous. But it's pretty much exactly what I was doing before, so just nervous about the people and policies. Anyone know how commuting from Poco to Langley via Golden Ears is? Am I going with or against rush hour?

FML

:sigh:

I dislike these 'fallout' moments that I've been getting. I miss you.

Trying to get over liking your bestfriend is the hardest thing I've ever done

Valentine's Day coming up... haven't made plans...

good lord...engineers are weird as hell.

cute though LOL

:fuckthatshit:

And now she just made herself more attractive to me. I know it's just one minor thing, but I don't want it to be a catalyst.

and perhaps that's exactly what's whittling away your optimism and drive for success, the pressure of not wanting to let anyone down. that - in and of itself is extremely cumbersome because whatever choices you make and the actions you take will appease some and offend others. that is not to say it's impossible, but no one wins all their battles, so win the ones that matter most and appease those you hold close to your heart. remember that your success and potential is defined by you and you alone, don't live by people's definition of greatness - it's painful and people's expectations can suffocate you.

don't let the interviews and rejections get to you. use those interviews as a learning experience to get comfortable with making a presentation about yourself and answering tough questions - there's always room for improvement. rejections don't have to be viewed in a negative way, think of it as an opportunity for you to look for or be offered something better.

if going to the gym is where you see progress in life, keep doing that as it will keep you moving forward. also try to identify other aspects you can improve on to better yourself or just do whatever you want or like doing, start small then go for the bigger things in life. point is not to idle or you'll lose that momentum.

Knowing when to stop is a very underrated mannerism.

days like today takes me back down memory lane.

happy for the time together.
sad it wasn't 80 years.
unfortunate the way it ended.
optimistic about the things to come.
