Thanksgiving has passed,
A wonderful holiday where many sit down with their families to talk about everything they're thankful for.
You're not thankful for something if you won't fight to keep it.
From your 6pack to your girlfriend.
Fighting to maintain and retain, fighting to gain or obtain.
THAT shows GENUINE appreciation, it's not just empty words.
You may have your health now but I promise you, if you do not fight for her she will leave you.
Along with your money and girlfriend and the love of your children.
This is the reality of life as a man.
If you're a man of any value at all you will be overworked and underappreciated.
You will finish the day tired and dirty, prepared to do the same thing again tomorrow.
What's the alternative?
To quit?
Quitting is a luxury reserved for those whose family does not depend.
The traditional man of the household is not afforded such luxury.
And the temporary satisfaction of quitting is outweighed by the eternal suffering of FAILING.
STRUGGLE to be a somebody.
Or STRUGGLE in life as a nobody.
I chose to become a somebody.
You will struggle either way. Struggle is CERTAIN.
Make a list of all you're thankful for and write next to each one how you will fight harder to improve or retain said item.
All of it. THAT is true thankfulness.
The ability to do the uncomfortable in its name.
To sit your fat ass on a chair and say "I'm thankful for" while watching Netflix and stuffing your face with chips means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
When swords are drawn.
Will you DIE to defend it?
YES OR NO?
ARE YOU THANKFUL? OR NOT?
The war is never-ending.
Your fire can never go out.
The eternal flame which burns your eternal rage.
UNLIMITED WILL TO FIGHT.
Being truly thankful for what you have and what you're building towards.
You will work 15-hour days and still make time for the gym.
You will become rich and retire your Mom.
You will turn yourself from total shit to the absolute best.
Those who listen and understand will become great.
