Billy Blanks Told Me...

I did the world's most strangest thing last night at 1am... I got up from my bed, turned on my laptop and worked out with Billy Blanks. I was sweating for a full hour, and just as I was going to loose my effing breath (you don't know Taebo until you've done it)- he said...

"You are where you are today... Because your mind put you there.
You are where you are tomorrow... Because your mind put you there.
You can be anything you want to be if you put your mind to it."

Think about this for a second. These words sound like pure jargon and possibly something that you see on some cheesy internet quotation site. HOWEVER- these are VERY powerful words. When I was standing there hyperventilating and sweating my brains out- your mind... has the capacity to control your destiny. If you think that you can't do it- whatever it may be- then obviously you won't do it- you won't do it today, and you won't do it tomorrow or the day after that. HOWEVER- if you keep telling yourself that yes- indeed you CAN do it- even if the task seems impossible- you will get where you want to be, maybe not today, BUT you MAY have a chance of getting there tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Like they always say, the possible comes easily, but the impossible will take some time.

I've decided not to drop my course, and the fear that I will fail this course is just silly.... I scared myself into believing that I will fail a sociology course, when in reality in my 20 odd academic years I've never failed once.

Wyn: "Sheena, do you think that I should drop my course, I got really low."
Sheen: "Well, you're already 2 months into it anyways, aren't you just going for the credit?"
Wyn: "Well, yes... But what if I fail?"
Sheen: "Well- it's not like you're gonna let that happen - RIGHT?"

Thanks for the awakening/epiphany.
