Rule #76 -- No Excuses, Play Like A Champion

God that was weird.

Things seem like they will never go your way ever again, but then out of no where you get that boost which feels like you're sitting on a rocket propelled bus fueled by a blend of uncut cocaine and good times.

I hate how much life can be a roller coaster. But you just have to ride the good times for as long as you can, and when the storm sets in use the memories of what use to be to get you to the next leg of the race.

You live for two reasons, the fact that things will get better, or you're living in the moment and it's great. Either way you have to pass onto the next phase, and that can go two directions. And being that everything in life is relative, it'll end up making your life better or worse.

My friend brought up something that made me really think about moments.

There is going to be one point in your life that is going to be the best moment you've every lived, and there is going to be a moment in your life that is going to be your lowest point.

The catch is you don't know if you've already reached either point.

You could have been at your lowest point, and you have survived, which means things will never be that bad again, it's only up from here.
And sitting on the other side of the spectrum is your greatest moment, which you too could have already lived.

It is one of those beautiful mysteries of life that you just have to accept, but definitely is interesting to ponder.

Life is truly what you make of it, it is merely what your mind perceives it as. If you are in a good mood, you will attract good things. As much as I sound like one of those corny middle aged life coaches that people pay desperate amounts of money for, it is completely true.

I'll save you $2,000 and a trip to a cheap hotel. Just make a list of everything you want to do in life, and do it. Think about that list everyday and make an effort to change.

You have to condition your brain. Are brains are built to deal with things that want to eat us, and survival. So you have to knock it out of its primal nature and start thinking like you own this world. The list helps you to start centering your focus on your goals, but then you have to work on that shitty attitude or else you'll get no where, and you will chalk all this up to a failed experiment.

Put yourself in a good mood, I don't care how you do it. I bought myself a new pair of shoes today, and it made me unnaturally happy, but you know what, that set a chain of wonderful things in motion. It sounds stupid, but try it sometime.

Don't mean to sound rude, but change your god damn mood...
