MONDAY MOTIVATION Something clicked in my head this morning as I was eating breakfast and listening to motivational videos and speeches from Eric Thomas (E.T.). He said Be Phenomenal or Be Forgotten. That hit me hard and I went off into all these thoughts in my head of what that means to me. And this is what I thought... I dont want to be forgotten, ever. If I could I would live forever and become more and more phenomenal with every single day, every single waking minute. I dont want to die, but as a human we all die someday... So whats the next best thing? To leave behind something that will go on and be remembered as long as possible... I have to leave behind a legacy. But only phenomenal people leave behind a legacy. Everyone gets remembered when they die, but for how long? A year? 5-10 years? Or maybe they are remembered by theyre sons and daughters, or even their grandchildren and great grandchildren, but after they are all gone so is the memories. Legacys go on through the ages because they leave something behind bigger than themselves. They leave behind a message, they leave behind a cause, and they leave behind strength, hope and love. After New Years I said to myself this Sunday Im going to wake up and start doing the regiment I created which is to eat completely healthy, drink nothing but water and orange juice, do my insanity workout, gym, and fit camps Monday and Wednesday. But this morning I woke up and said, I dont want to get out of bed, its cold, Im tired, all these inner thoughts that compel a normal person from reaching greatness occurred to me, but then as I had breakfast I said let me turn on some personal development to get my mind right, and Eric Thomas, I cant thank you enough for your motivation because now Im all fed and Im ready to put the insanity disk in and get to work. The universe is ours, said Eric Thomas. That means everything in he universe is yours. If you believe it, if you can perceive it, you can create it and do it. The way I took those words from E.T. Is like this... The universe is mine... Well what is in the universe? Everything I can see, everything I can feel, everything i can hear, everything I can think... But what is all of that? Its simple. Everything in the universe is MY REALITY. My reality is the way I perceive the universe and everything in it, so, the universe really is mine, and I can control what happens in it... If I want to sit at home and not workout and eat a bucket of KFC with a family size portion of mashed potatoes and gravy with a bucket of ice cream for desert while I watch every episode of walking dead followed by every episode of sons of anarchy, I can do that. If I want to go to the gym once a week and tell everyone I go 7 days a week just to get credit for something I didnt really do but it would make me feel accomplished, I can do that. If I want to better myself every single day in one aspect of my life, I can do that. If I want to climb Mount Everest but I dont have money to get there and Ive never climbed a mountain before, it might be dangerous and it might take a while to get the money and the skills, but I can do that. If I want to wake up today and create a long long long status on Facebook about motivation and what motivated me today to get out of bed and keep my integrity in line by committing to the things I said I was going to do, and actually do it, and hopefully motivate other people who have the patience to have read this long speech, I can do that. If I can be told day by day that I cant, but I silently prove others wrong by canning (its a word) then Ill do that, because I can. So long story short, Be phenomenal it be forgotten. Leave a legacy that will let you live forever. Believe in yourself and believe in others, even when they dont believe in themselves, because this is your universe and your reality is what you make it. Have a great Monday everyone, and take a look at the video below! youtu.be/ASIT7U463Q0
