Just keep punching. That's the thing about fighting. Sure, skill is important. Sure strength matters. But endurance can overcome anything. It doesn't matter what it is - as long as you're throwing punches after the other guy has stopped throwing punches, you've won the fight.Don't give up. That is the first thing. Just keep punching.
Being blown around like a leaf in a hurricane hoping that luck would throw me a bone had taught me nothing. No. No longer would I be that leaf. I would be the hurricane.
I would be the fucking hurricane.
How? How did u keep urself sane? Two things. Firstly - by any means necessary. Achieved by any means necessary. That is how you need to keep your spirits alive. By any means necessary. Secondly, you can look at a tricky approach in two ways. As massively negative, or just really positive no matter what the outsome because you are facing your terror head on and saying to it "Fuck you, terror. Fuck you till you die."
Strength of character is a choice. It doesn't come down to a choice, it doesn't contain a choice. It IS a choice. Get busy living, or get busy dying. This is the only choice we monkeys ever face in any situation. Get busy living, or get busy dying. You face that choice in every situation. It is the only choice you'll ever really make - everything else is just the specifics of how that fundamental choice plays itself out in context. It is the beating heart of free will. Go on or give up. Fight or fold. Live or die.
I took the only option I had. And when I choose to do something, I do it. I do it with every atom of strength at my disposal. Why? Because it seemed obvious to me that this was the only possible exit. This was the only possible escape. Nothing else had any real promise. It was this, or nothing. This or unhappiness for the rest of my life and whatever fate awaited me afterward. That is the choice which I believe we all face. I did not fight as hard as I did because I am intrinsically more passionate than others. I fought so hard because I saw the choice so clearly.
--DR JEKYLL MR HYDE
The ultimate truth of who you are is not I am this or I am that, but I Am.
You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are
Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you.
--Eckhart Tolle
"If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self."
