motivation

I remember those difficult days in secondary school where by things aren't going rosy. Heavy assignment Annoying teachers Emotional bullies Difficult subjects And the most annoying Being given a hell of military punishment by the pas*** pau* but I suppress the pains and didn't even shed tears even amidst my friends that were already peeing in their pants. After we were relieved of the punishment a friend ask. SAM:my back aches a lot. Hey micheal you didn't even cry during the punishment ME:I saw you crying and I refuse to join SAM: am sure it your military morale that make you endured pain. ME:Nope it is not that. SAM: Then what because I know you don't really bear pains like me.What? ME: Remember what Shakespeare said this shall soon come to pass. Dear reader This, too, shall pass. All situations are transient. All physical possessions will eventually stop working, lose their luster, or be forgotten. All emotional states are subject to change. Nothing stays the same forever. Things fall apart. When you’re in the middle of a tough set of heavy squats, and you come back up from the 3rd rep of 5 and think you can’t possibly bear it, know that “this too shall pass.” When you’re dealing with the death of a family member or a breakup, and it feels like the pain won’t ever stop, remember the mantra. Your heart might not feel it, but your brain can acknowledge the fact that this too shall pass. This goes for good feelings and positive situations, too. This body? It won’t stay this lean, strong, and fit forever. Better enjoy it and keeping using it, or you’ll lose it. The awesome night you’re having with friends and several bottles of wine? This, too, shall pass (and it might feel very different in the morning). Whatever it is, this, too, shall pass, so savor it. Enjoy it. But don’t become too attached?or despairing. Those are some mantras I’ve found helpful on my Primal journey. What about you? What mantras do you apply? Thanks for reading, everybody. Take care
