I want to wish everyone continued success and good fortune...I know you will all do yourselves proud in this coming 365 days which humans call a "year."
You must use those 365 days wisely, you look at each new day as 24 hours to get something done right, your diet, your training, your career, your studies, whatever else you see fit to involve yourself in. That is really all a "day" is...24 hours...and at the top of each new hour is a fresh chance to become someone different than you were the hour before. Successful, humble, joyous, engaged, larger, smaller, richer, poorer...you are the one who controls the process.
Personal perceptions can cut through most of our ability to reason, especially when we feel we are justified in our thought process. Throughout my travels on the discussion boards, I realize that most people cannot conceive of the reality that they could be incorrect about something.
I believe that this kind of reactionary behavior is flawed and while it is good to have self belief, it is also optimal to realize that one could be wrong.
Like when you are outside without a jacket and the wind blows up your back...you can fight it by shivering (your body's nature attempt to warm itself) or you can let the cold wash over you. So I dont waste my energy trying to fight the cold, or fight the rage, I just let the cold...the rage wash over me in waves of sublime fury. I take in the sweet silent breathe of everyone under the roof, I marshal my energy, I focus my emotions and my spirituality...
I fucking love this! this is a feeling I LOVE getting in the winter!

So very true and something that we all have baulked at it admitting to.
"Obsessed is merely a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated"

Two profound statements in a row -- about letting the cold wash over you, and about perceptions. Nicely said, both of them. I'm just learning about the cold part. Moving from Southern California to Kentucky in winter may not have been my brightest idea, but it's certainly been an . . . education.

You will get used to it my brother...awaken the viking in you.
Progress is being made my brothers...I find myself straining, pressing, and repping as I always have. What could be better than that I ask you?
Injuries and truama happen to all of us in one way or another...the measure of a man is found in the minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months AFTER that truama...will you fall into line, preordained to medicrity?
