i don't know if i've ever shared this but this is the pep talk i gave myself before the semester started and i want to keep it somewhere where i;ll remember to look at it once in a while
This is the ultimate pep-talk right here. There are going to be times this semester where things look and feel really hard. “weeded is a state of mind” the only way you survive is if you keep your head in the game. Don’t panic just do it and don’t think about anything but doing the task at hand. At the same time don’t lose sight of the whole picture. THE WHOLE PICTURE. The future NEVER rests on one moment and no matter what you can pull off under all this pressure, frustration, effort, and hard work you’ll still get to where you want to be. Nothing is final and nothing is absolute in the long run. Only in the very short run. A moment a day a week a semester. Those instances are nothing but a path change and the more you realize that the less afraid of change you become and the more confident you become. Nothing can stop me or any of us from achieving our goals unless you get too hung up on the short run. No matter how busy you get don’t underestimate the importance of taking some time to sit in silence and listen to your own thoughts. Don’t list things don’t think about what you should be doing dialogue with yourself about how you’re feeling. Take note of the emotional vital signs if you will. If I’m feeling tired a lot know that it’s the stress and not much more. The more I get done ahead of time the less stressed I am and the more energy I’ll have. I know you hate routine more than almost anything. I know the resentment you feel towards institution and rules and the “supposed to’s” try please please try to look at it from a different angle. Stop fighting it all and just accept some facts of life that are just proven true. Enjoy it, decide to enjoy the things you have to do with the things you choose to do. Remember to look at the world through a child’s eyes as often as you can and love the world you live in because its so much bigger then all the “of the moment” dramas.
Oh and listen to your rap. Because no one knows how fuckin baller they are more then rap artists. And you are baller. Your confidence is something you have always held on to so throw it up there. Watch it, look at it, and own it. You are the underdog here. This school of students have passion for their subjects and that puts you at an infinite disadvantage.
it helps me ..idk if it might help anyone else get through .
