War Grimoire

I talk a lot about going absolutely balls-to-the-wall here, but I don't talk a lot about slowing down. Truthfully, I rarely have time to truly slow down. Doing everything that I do requires most of my time to keep it all together, avoid mistakes, and solve the problems when I eventually do make a mistake. Between my day job, The Apocalypse Order, and my familial obligations, there's not much left to just take time off unless I'm stealing it from one of my efforts. Of course, that doesn't mean that I never take time for myself.   Hit Reset At...

We've all heard about it, but we never seem to have it when we need. Some days, we'll be super motivated and we'll actually finish all of the things we need to get done.

Every decision is a new opportunity to become a better person

Every wasted second is a second you can never get back

Building toward Supremacy of Self makes it easier to attain your goals, by keeping you on track, no matter what else may be happening around you. In the storm that is your life, you will learn to become the eye of the tempest.

There are going to be days you don't want to do the things you've laid out for yourself. Right now, as I'm writing, I don't want to be writing. I stayed up too late last night and I hardly slept. I over-celebrated my extremely successful week. This has left me tired, unmotivated, and unwilling to work, much less work out--but I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to scale back my heavy lifting for the day because I am exhausted, and I'll only succeed in hurting myself if I push myself in the condition I'm in, but I will do the work I committed to before I made a series of stupid decisions last night.
