Waking Up at 4:30 AM
You all know how it is. Your alarm rings. The snooze button is right there. Why break with the routine of waking up at six or seven to wake up at 4:30 AM? Here I am, it's my seventh day attempting to wake up at the allotted time, the navy time, army time, marine time, boot camp time, and I can't do it. Today I woke up very late. Mostly because I am a freelance writer and find it comfortable to wake up late.

From a young age, one of the first aspects of mathematics we are taught is the shape. We learn about the circles, the octagons, the prisms and the other barrage of misshapen Greek constructs. But see the issue comes when you learn that these shapes have your life's construct.
Adam KhamisPublished 6 years ago in MotivationWhy Take a Step When You Can Leap?
Why play it safe when having fun is all about taking chances! Every time I put on my spikes I always thought how crazy it is for us runners to enjoy going through so much pain. Is it truly possible to find so much excitement and feelings of accomplishment through so much drain? The answer is yes. Don't let anything every old you back, not even if it's physical pain.
WarriorPublished 6 years ago in MotivationWhy Not Do More?
In life we face many adversities and with each, our character is judged based on how we deal with them. In fact, we're judged based off of pretty much everything, on some things we control, and some things we can't. There are many things we deal with on a daily basis: work, relationships, health, etc. With each of these things we come to face in our routine, we sometimes lose our motivation to pursue more in our lives. Factors such as our environment, the people we're around, and media can make us numb to a pattern. This pattern is one that grows out of routines such as not going to the gym, working at the bare minimum, and isolation. The lives we have, won't last forever and as human beings, we don't know which day will be our last. We should be pushing to do things like improving our personal relationships, putting in the extra hours at work to get that promotion we've dreamt about for weeks, taking a couple hours every other day to improve our physical health, or just getting up and out of the house.

On the way to work, the talk show on the radio was discussing how a family wrote a mean obituary about their mother. The children were so upset about her and some of the things she did in her lifetime that they shared them for the world to see. They went as far to say that she would not be missed!

Toni KorazaPublished 6 years ago in Motivation10 Songs That Will Keep You Motivated for Success
Some songs are made for laying about, staring at the ceiling, and contemplating the tragedies of life. As heart-wrenching or warming as those songs may be, they don't tend to help you power through your life and get yourself going.

Here are some of those songs that will keep you motivated for success, whatever difficult tasks you may have to face.
Nicola P. YoungPublished 6 years ago in MotivationWithout Struggle There's No Growth
When looking around the world the media portrays conflict as this heart wrenching, diabolical Goliath that only seeks to twist and bend life into submission. Conflict is brutality and the worst of human beings. It is the loss and destruction of pieces of humanity that we hold sacred. Innocence, pleasure, happiness and comfort are lost within conflict with nothing to gain except...experience?
Steven AltmanPublished 6 years ago in MotivationWhat Is Holding You Back?
How often do you say "I should" to yourself? I was contemplating this concept as I was teaching this to a client who constantly focuses on their flaws instead of their strengths. But really don't we all do this? I should be cleaning right now. I should be a CEO by now. I should have a larger savings. I should be as good of a mom as Amy. Should, should, should. Such a self deprecating concept. And worse more comparative. How in one word can be admonish ourselves while comparing our status to ideals and thus begin us on a spiraling path of worry and anxiety.
Hannah CraigPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Saved My Life
I know that when someone drops a title like "How Jiu Jitsu Saved My Life," people are expecting a badass story about choking guys out that tried to attack me and how I fought them off with complete ease. That's not what this story is about. This is how BJJ saved me from myself. I'm going to to drone on a little bit here but I want you (the reader) to bear with me because it is very relevant to the point I am trying to make.
