We shouldn't ever have to wait for a 'suitable' environment in which to follow our dreams. I know I always say, "Oh! I can't wait until I'm out of school so I can really start to train." or "I can't wait for summer time so I can really begin training hard." ...I can't wait for this, I can't wait for that...like somehow the future setting will suite better than this one, where ever that may be, here and now. This is silly, life isn't going to wait for us; there is no point in not using the time we have now if we have it.
In saying that, the last 2 days I have tried living my life the way I see myself living in the next year at the apartment. I have woken up early after going to sleep relatively early; ate breakfast, trained some type of conditioning with stretching included, for around 2 or 3 hours. (2 straight hours of various chin ups/pull ups with stretches during rest time) I probably did around 80 pull ups + chin ups and stretched my russian splits as well as various other stretches. Then I drew for a few hours in the Cafe, had some more various meals, went to frisbee (which is a good way of conditioning for i try to never stop running and it last for an hour) ate another small meal and then went to badminton. It felt really good, and right now I feel when I go to sleep I will feel good about my day, for I got a little closer to the way I want to be, but I was being that way while trying. It's like...living your dream while pursuing it.
But the point is, that i shouldn't wait to do it, i can incorporate what i want to do anywhere i am. Even if I am currently in college and miserable...i can turn that around. The place doesn't have to be perfect because life isnt perfect, it isnt supposed to be. all we can do is what we can, and what we want, where we are. never putting this off to the future. do it now. do things now. DO THINGS

A bit (well, more than a bit) braindead from my sleeping drought of seroquel...sooo, won't have the 'exact' words I'd PREFER for this...but I just discovered this blog and post this second, and I really do truly gotta say it was an AMAZING and dead-on insightful commentary. I think that's about as close as The Overmind/God/Higher-Power would have worded it in regard to making use of our existence. I've wasted way too much of my life, and while many may say or "see" how accomplished I am...only I know the real truth and the literally dozens more things/insights/adventures I could have gained from NOT procrastinating.
So in closing, I'm a driven man these years, and it's awesome to see the same in others!
