ITS NOT ABOUT HOW YOU START, ITS ABOUT HOW YOU FINISH

SO THE TITLE IS ALSO THE QUOTE THAT I HEARD THE OTHER DAY WHILE WATCHING "COOK VS CON." ITS A COOKING CONTEST SHOW LIKE IRON CHEF AND PASTRY CONTESTS. ANYWAYS SO I THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT COOKS VS CONS AS IN CRIMINALS... TURNS OUT ITS REAL LIFE COOKS VS CONS AS IN FAKE CHEFS LOL. HONESTLY YOU WOULD THINK THE SAME AS ME IF YOU JUST LOOKED AT THE PEOPLE ON THE SHOW... THEY ALL LOOK LIKE CRIMINALS LOL. ANYWAYS THATS NOT THE POINT. AT ONE POINT OF THE SHOW THE GUY SAYS THAT HES SHOWING EVERYONE THAT ITS NOT ABOUT HOW YOU START, ITS ABOUT HOW YOU FINISH. HE SAID IT BECAUSE HE WAS ALMOST IN LAST PLACE AND HE WANTED TO LET HIS SON KNOW THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK OR DO BETTER OR EVEN WIN... WHICH HE DID END UP WINNING THE SHOW. SO BACK ON TOPIC... THE STATEMENTS PRETTY TRUE AND FOR SOME REASON IT STUCK WITH ME. IN LIFE IT REALLY ISNT ABOUT HOW SOMETHING STARTS, ITS ABOUT HOW IT ENDS OR HOW YOU MAKE IT END. TAKE SCHOOL FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN START AND NOT KNOW WHERE OR WHAT YOU WANT TO STUDY. SOMEHOW YOU END UP SOMEWHERE STUDYING SOMETHING, AND GUESS WHAT? WHEN YOU GRADUATE YOURE FINISHED. SOMEHOW IT ALL JUST WORKS OUT. SURE THERES HARD WORK IN BETWEEN AND WHATEVER ELSE YOU NEEDED TO DO TO GET THERE, BUT THE MAIN POINT IS THAT YOU FINISHED AND GOT TO THE END. STARTING A NEW JOB, YOU START IT AND IT MIGHT NOT BE WHERE YOU WANT TO BE OR WHAT YOU WANT TO DO BUT SAME THING YOU HOPEFULLY END UP WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. EVERYTHING IN LIFE STARTS WITH YOU STARTING, YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD THE BEST START, OR YOU JUST FELL INTO IT, OR YOU JUST HAD TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, BUT SOMEHOW... EVENTUALLY... INEVITABLY... YOU GET TO THE FINISH LINE, YOU GET TO WHERE YOU WANT TO GO, YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. THERES A LOT IN BETWEEN TO GET YOU FROM POINT A TO POINT B, BUT YOU CANT GIVE UP. NO ONE EVER ACHIEVED WHAT THEY ACHIEVED WITHOUT STARTING, AND THEY ONLY ACHIEVED WHAT THEY ACHIEVED BY FINISHING. THIS TIES INTO EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE SAID BEFORE ABOUT DOING WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE, EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, IT WILL ALL WORK OUT EVENTUALLY, AND LIKE A DOZEN OTHER POSTS. THINK ABOUT IT, YOU STARTED YOUR DAY AND THEN A BUNCH OF THINGS HAPPEN DURING THE DAY, AND THEN YOU FINISH THE DAY. EVERYTHING IS ALL ABOUT STARTS AND FINISHES. IVE STARTED MANY THINGS, AND I HAVE A GOALS SET IN MIND, A PLACE I WANT TO BE, A THING I WANT TO DO, AND IN ORDER TO GET THERE I NEED TO DO A LOT. IM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY THAT I GET TO THAT FINISH LINE AND SAY THAT I DID IT AND I MADE IT. EVERYTHING I DO IS WORKING TOWARDS THAT FINISH LINE. NOT MANY PEOPLE REMEMBER HOW SOMETHING STARTS, BUT EVERYONE REMEMBERS HOW IT ENDS. YOU NEED TO FINISH STRONG, DONT LET ANYTHING GET IN YOUR WAY, DO IT AND PROVE TO YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN DO IT. BESIDES DOING IT FOR YOURSELF, ITS A GOOD TRAIT TO HAVE, BEING ABLE TO SEE THINGS THROUGH TO THE END. YOU JUST HAVE TO SURVIVE IN THE MEAN TIME. LIFE IS ONE WHOLE PROCESS AS WELL. YOU DONT HAVE A CHOICE OF WHEN YOU WERE BORN, YOU GO THROUGH LIFE, AND IN THE END WHAT WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED FOR? MY ADVICE... DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO, SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU CAN SAY TO YOURSELF THAT YOU GAVE IT YOUR ALL.

SO HONESTLY THE POST COULD HAVE KEPT ON GOING I THINK IT WILL GO IN CIRCLES AND CIRCLES. WELL GUESS IL STOP THAT THERE LOL. OH I WENT TO THE VAISAKHI FESTIVAL ON THE WEEKEND AND IT WAS PRETTY COOL. WE ATE A LOT OF CURRY LOL. WENT TO WATCH THE FOOTBALL GAME AND WE WON. WORK IS STILL WORK AND IM TIRED AND IM FALLING ASLEEP, SO GOOD NIGHT IT IS :) ALSO THE POST WAS ACTUALLY ON TOPIC AGAIN... FINALLY A REAL POST LOL

SO I JUST SAW SOMETHING...

NO ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK... WHATEVER YOURE THINKING THATS NOT IT LOL. ANYWAYS I JUST SAW SOME INSPIRATIONAL PICTURE AND THE CAPTION WAS: "SELF DISCIPLINE BETTER PREDICTS SUCCESS THAN IQ." I THOUGHT ABOUT IT A TOTAL OF 2 SECONDS AND I TOTALLY AGREE WITH IT. I TALKED ABOUT THIS HERE AND THERE BEFORE BUT ITS REALLY PERTINENT TO ME RIGHT NOW. IF YOU ARE REALLY SMART OR HAVE A HIGH IQ BUT YOU DONT DO ANYTHING WITH IT THEN YOURE NOT SUCCEEDING NOW ARE YOU? YOURE WASTING ALL THAT POTENTIAL. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU HAVE GREAT SELF DISCIPLINE THEN ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. YOUR SELF DISCIPLINE KEEPS YOU WORKING HARD, MAKES YOU STUDY MORE, CONTROLS HOW MUCH YOU PUT IN, AND PUSHES YOU FARTHER. THATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING SELF DISCIPLINE AND NOT HAVING IT. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PEOPLE WHO DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES A CHANGE AND THOSE WHO DONT OR JUST SAYS THEY WILL BUT NEVER DOES. GRANTED THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS THAT CAN STOP YOU FROM TAKING THAT FIRST STEP AND MOVING FORWARD TOWARDS WHAT YOU WANT, BUT IN THE END ITS ALL JUST EXCUSES. IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING JUST DO IT. ONES OWN SELF DISCIPLINE DECIDES WHERE YOU GO AND WHAT YOU DO. YOU CAN DO IT, BUT ITS ALL UP TO YOU TO SEE IF YOU HAVE THE CONTROL TO ACTUALLY GO AHEAD WITH IT. WHEN YOU FINALLY ACTUALLY HAVE THE SELF DISCIPLINE OR THE DETERMINATION TO DO SOMETHING OR KEEP ON DOING SOMETHING, THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN FAIL. EVEN IF YOU DO FAIL THE FIRST TIME, YOU DONT QUIT, YOU JUST KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU SUCCEED, AND THATS WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN THOSE WHO DO AND CAN TO THOSE WHO DONT AND CANT. EVERYTHING IS ABOUT SELF DISCIPLINE, SELF CONTROL, DETERMINATION, AND MOTIVATION. IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING OR MAKE A CHANGE JUST DO IT ALREADY!!! THERES NO POINT IN PUTTING IT OFF OR SAYING YOU CANT, THERES ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE WORLD THAT CAN STOP YOU FROM ATTAINING WHAT YOU WANT, AND THATS YOU, THE PERSON LOOKING BACK IN THE MIRROR. LIKE RIGHT NOW, AFTER 4 YEARS IM STILL WRITING THIS BLOG, WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT, 4 YEARS STRAIGHT WITHOUT FAIL. EVEN ON VACATION I STILL FOUND A WAY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. ITS ALL ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU WANT IT. YOU HAVE TO FORCE YOURSELF TO DO IT. EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF TIME I RATHER JUST SIT THERE AND WATCH TV OR PLAY GAMES, I TELL MYSELF NO! I HAVE TO DO IT! TURN OFF THE TV AND GO WRITE THE POST!!! ITS ACTUALLY HARDER THAN YOU THINK SITTING HERE AND DOING THIS EVERY WEEK. YOU GUYS OUT THERE HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY TIMES I WAS DEBATING AND THINKING ABOUT STOPPING THIS OR SLOWING DOWN. YOU HEARD IT ALL BEFORE, BUT IN THE END YOU STILL SEE ME POSTING EVERY SINGLE WEEK. THIS ISNT ALL I DO YOU KNOW... BESIDES WORK FULL TIME YOU ALL KNOW IM WORKING TOWARDS SOMETHING AND THAT WAS WHAT THE 1 YEAR DEADLINE WAS FOR, FOR MYSELF. THAT WAS ME FORCING MYSELF, MOTIVATING MYSELF, DISCIPLINING MYSELF TO GET THAT DONE. NOW RECENTLY IM THINKING AND RESEARCHING ABOUT SETTING BACK UP A YOUTUBE CHANNEL, ALL THE MEANWHILE A NEW POST IS STILL BEING WRITTEN EVERY WEEK. THATS 4 THINGS THAT IM MAKING MYSELF DO, KEEPING THAT DISCIPLINE AND NOT LETTING ANYTHING MAKE ME WAIVER IN MY PURSUIT OF EVERYTHING. THERES LOTS OF WAYS TO MEASURE SUCCESS, AND EVERYONES DEFINITION OF SUCCESS IS DIFFERENT. THERES TOO MANY EXAMPLES I COULD GIVE AND THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO POSSIBLY COVER THEM ALL EITHER. SO IN WHATEVER YOUR QUEST IS, DONT FRET THAT YOU ARENT THE SMARTEST PERSON IN THE WORLD, BECAUSE HARD WORK DOES PAY OFF AND THE SELF DISCIPLINE YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE WILL ALLOW YOU TO SUCCEED IN THE FUTURE. THEY SAY IT TAKES ROUGHLY 10,000 HOURS TO BECOME A MASTER AT SOMETHING OR A SKILL. THATS ABOUT A YEAR AND A BIT STRAIGHT. IF ALL IT TAKES IS A YEAR THEN WHY NOT GO FOR IT. A YEAR IS REALLY SHORT AND A YEAR FROM NOW YOU WILL LOOK BACK AND REALIZE THAT IT WAS THE BEST DECISION OF YOUR LIFE, AND THAT DISCIPLINE WILL TAKE YOU ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.

AS FOR THE USUAL UPDATES...WORKS GETTING BUSY AGAIN DUE TO STUFF THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE AND ALL THE MEETINGS THAT I HAVE TO HAVE. SLOWLY GETTING BETTER FROM THE ACCIDENT, IM ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY!!! LOL. WORKING ON ALL THE THINGS IM WORKING ON. OH I DID GO WATCH THE BOY OVER THE WEEKEND AND IT WAS A BAD BAD MOVIE... LOL IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE SCARY BUT MEH... ONLY SMALL PARTS HERE AND THERE AND ENDING WAS HMM... WELL... THATS ANOTHER WEEK FOR YOU. SO WISH YOU ALL A GREAT WEEK.

WHY DO I KEEP WRITING...

IVE BEEN WRITING THIS BLOG FOR 3.5 YEARS NOW... EVERY WEDNESDAY WITHOUT FAIL... SO THE QUESTION IS WHY DO I KEEP WRITING... HONESTLY SOMETIMES I DONT KNOW... SOMETIMES I DONT HAVE A TOPIC OR I FEEL LAZY AND I JUST DONT WANT TO DO IT... BUT I HAVE TO!!! ITS JUST SOMETHING THAT I FEEL HELPS ME. NOT THE FACT THAT I EXPECT TONS OF PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY READ THIS... I DONT EVEN EXPECT 10  PEOPLE TO READ IT... I THINK MAYBE LIKE 5 PEOPLE EVER READ THIS... AND HALF OF THEM ARE PART TIME READERS TOO HAHA. I JUST DO IT FOR MYSELF. ITS SOMETHING THAT GETS WHATEVER IM THINKING OR RANTING ABOUT OUT. SOME PEOPLE READ AND SOME PEOPLE WORK OUT, I WRITE THIS ALL CAPS LOCKED GIANT RUN ON PARAGRAPH LOL. I LIKE BEING ABLE TO PUT MY THOUGHTS OUT AND JUST HAVING IT OUT THERE. I KNOW LOTS OF PEOPLE MAY AGREE AND LOTS MAY DISAGREE BUT THATS NOT THE POINT, THIS IS MY OPINION AND IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN LEAVE!!! THE MAIN REASON IVE ACTUALLY KEPT UP WITH THIS WEEK AFTER WEEK IS THAT ITS LIKE A GOAL... YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD AND KEEP AT IT OBTAIN IT, AND I KNOW THAT IF I CAN DEDICATE TIME EVERY WEEK WITHOUT FAIL TO WRITE SOMETHING DOWN AND POST IT THEN I CAN PUT THAT KIND OF ENERGY, EFFORT, MOTIVATION, AND DETERMINATION INTO ANYTHING ELSE I WANT. IF I CAN DO THIS THEN I CAN REALLY DO ANYTHING ELSE I PUT MY MIND TO. ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

OTHER NEWS... OUR FOOTBALL TEAM WON AGAIN :) WE STANDING AT 2-2 AND AFTER WE WIN THIS WEEK WE GOING TO BE 3RD IN THE DIVISION AND GONNA MAKE PLAYOFFS. HALF OF THE TEAM HAS SAID THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY LOOK FORWARD TO ALL WEEK AND THAT THEY CANT WAIT TO PLAY AND I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I LOVE PLAYING FOOTBALL. OUR TEAM IS JUST AWESOME!!!
