motivation... for some, quite a rarity. for others, its as common as the air we breath.
i lay somewhere inbetween those two. but when i do get motivated, NOTHING. stops me. and while i had a fire lit in my soul which got me moving and let me figure out what im doing in life, and a plan to do so. the same man who lit that fire just added nuclear fuel to it. i have never felt this good in my LIFE. and i can damn well guarantee you NOTHING is going to stop me. not even god and his angels. its amazing what a few words, spoken from the right person can do.
and with this motivation, this nuclear fire, comes good things indeed ^^ just landed a job interview, my workout has just been rejuvenated. and im well on my way to my mountain ^^ feels good man.. damn good indeed. i will NOT let this feeling die!
a new analogy i thought of, that makes quite a bit of sense. following your dreams are a lot like climing a mountain. some smaller then others some larger, but no matter what mountain your climing. you need to be prepared ^^ i tend to think of the past ten months as the prep period, when you get to gether your equipment, your gear, ice picks shoes packs tents, finding your guild and booking your trip.
and im not even done preparing yet, ive only just accumulating the "funds" necessary to "buy" the "equipment" i need. and i am setting out to do that, and it breaks down into a few things.
A. deciding to join the reserve, for the funding needed for college.
B. loosing the weight, and changing thou lifestyle in preparation for basic.
C. enlisting, and going to basic.
D. making it through basic whilst keeping my core values intact.
E. enrolling in MSUM for the classes i have chosen.
F. making it through school in a reasonable time period. maximum of four years.
n this is were it gets a bit tricky. so im gonna have to break it down into a few points.
G.a work stateside in business and accumulate job experience for two years, as the minimum term for the reserve is 6 years. and college will only take four.
G.b go active, and transfer to the airforce, requesting transfer to tokyo. or another base in japan. this may seem atractive in being in japan sooner but i will not be able to accumulate critical experience.
H.a having job experience i need, start looking for work in tokyo, preferably a company that has something to do with my dreams, tho just getting there and establishing a foothold will work to. and accumulate funds and assets.
H.b moving to tokyo, or anywhere in japan and accumulate expirance necessary to be attractive to company of choice whilst establishing a foothold.
H.b-2 having gained job experience start looking for work with a company that works with my dreams. accumulating money.
I having accumulated funds needed, establish my own company, or join a company, such as Mirai inc, that serves my dreams to the letter.
final step, live the dream.
it will take a LOT of work, and the later steps are thoughts in there infancy, but this is my general plan, step by step, to climb my "Everest" in the end, i will be one of the few people in the world who can say proudly they didn't let there dream die, but followed it though to the end and achieved happiness ^^
like i said it will take a lot of work, and time but time is on my side, assuming the world doesn't end next year ^^ but when all is said and don't i can look back to days like today in pride and know i did something worth doing, and something that will be remembered even if it isn't something big ^^
back to the forging process here. and ive neglected to metion something rather inportant what of the smith? that master in control of everything? he controls the heat the air the hammer and the tongs.
with that said i pose a question to you, what do you do if your smith is doubtful? if he does not know what he wishes to forge? of in this case, thought he did. but is no longer sure if this particular ingot is right for what he wanted, what then? what does he do with it!?
