so true are these words, i just keep them going around in my head when things are getting hard and depressing, as we say at karate(where these words are sooo true, persistence pays), Its not how hard you hit, its how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

Thanks so much C.J., this is exactly what I needed to read today as I have a job interview for a job I have never done before. I am happy to learn the new skills and make new friends in the new job, but I was a bit scared of the idea of it all. Also, slightly scared of rejection. I guess I am comfy in the job I have now, so, if I don't get the new job, I'll have the comfy one to return to.

"You have to belive in the way you are made, and honor the greatness that's in you by making it more."
I just wrote that down so I can tape it to my bedroom mirror and my locker at work (alongside other quotes, many of which are from M.M.) so I can be reminded every morning and night of my potential and direction.
Thanks for helping to keep me on the path!

I'm a recovering alcoholic, I quit drinking Nov. 13, 2010. I'm not the only one who benefits from this. My husband and my children also. It took a lot of will power, but I did it. I would sit and drink my emotions away, because I didn't want to feel. I'm happy to say, I like to have emotion, even if its anger.

Everything appears to be easier said than done because we're not used to living in this new way. It's actually not. It requires no more effort than what you've always done.

jen — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:44:18 -0000

thanks. i think so, too (although it can be easier said than done) curious... do you have any insight as to why it seems to be this way?

Re: Strike and Ignite: Do You Hang Out with Energy-Drainers or Those Who Fire You Up?

C. J. - The Metal Motivator — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:40:46 -0000

My pleasure. Sounds like you're making the right choice.

great article!... i've been finding recently that the more i do for others, the less appreciation i've been getting... seems as though everyone just wants some drama thrown into the mix. think its time to 'go within' and sort out what i want to keep in my life, and what needs some spring cleaning. thank you for making this available :)

I agree, always start with the Physical Health. If you are not working out and eating well you will not have the energy it takes to fix the rest!

I grew up in the first wave of "self-esteem education" in public schools, where the fixation was on keeping kids complacent to get us through high school without shooting anyone or killing ourselves--as though these were overwhelming possibilities. I read novels through most of my classes (they passed me anyway), and graduated ready to face nothing. Fortunately, a drive to pursue art has forced me past these low initial expectations, and I look forward to the challenges ahead...especially if they hurt. Thanks for the article!
