motivating things
 

this is a thread for all things motivational


i am big on motivation, its the only way to achieve glory. negativity and cynical ppl dont bother here, this is a place to become motivated and become a greater version of yourself.

post anything that is motivational. quotes or thoughts, articles or videos or pics that can inspire others


most ppl dont realize there is not a finite amount of glory to be had. and even if there was, the ones who seek it will achieve it. those who dont want to be motivated will never reach their goals. but as a forum even, if we all helped to motivate each other, we would all become better at the things we wanted to become better at. this is a thread of positive thoughts and teamwork by everyone to become the greatest we can be in every aspect of life.


we can all chase big dreams and fall short but that is not failure. we may not achieve our dreams of glory, but at the end we will still have achieved so much more than what we would have otherwise. there are no excuses

Am I doing it right?

Hey butthead, you will love this guy's instagram. He's been dubbed the playboy of instagram:

Instagram

i would party with him and become friends with him but he does not motivate me


look for motivating content tuesday. i will be bumping this thread periodicalyl just as a reminder that there is not a finite amount of glory AKA there is no reason to be dissuaded from striving for it. remember that there are ppl who dont strive for better and then theres ppl who strive everyday for different points of glory. 99% never reach glory but its not about actually attaining the glory itself. because even if you fail at attaining the true glory, in just trying in the first place you are ahead of the ppl who never strived initially.


it is natural to have spells and bouts of depression, anger, sadness grief etc. but i look at life like a beach. beaches, man, beaches. my life is that beach and this seaweed and pollution and toxic crap keeps findin its way onto the beach (aka my life). every now and then ppl come and help remove this garbage (friends, family, motivational ppl, etc) but theres these big fukcin tidal waves that scatter it then sweep up this trash and take it back out to see where it will float around til it washes up on another beach. these tidal waves and the tide are positivitity.

when i feel down or sad or anything i only give myself 10 minutes for those feelings. its all about being conscious of all of this. i can mentally force these waves of positivity onto myself. when has bein positive and uplifitng ever hurt anyone?? it can only help and if it does nothing then it was still worth taking the chance. every single day it is in our control but most ppl dont recognize the control they have over their lives. it can feel comforting sometimes to wallow in defeat but ya gotta really ask yourself it that could ever truly help you in the long run.... keep striving everyday

this song is pure gold for the irritated feminist at work:

most of the women in that vid are prob so ashamed of todays feminist

a feminist only motivates me to find ways to rid my life of them

i will use the thought of them to fuel me in my journeys for motivation and glory

Not gonna lie; some of today's feminists are sort of terrifying and

god, I just want to not be treated like a piece of meat, and to have decent pay for the work I do in contrast to the male species

I'm not concerned with the destruction of men, just the destruction of the patriarchy and the ways it harms both genders

but some of these chicks, I can't... I just can't.

i find most feminists to be self absorbed narccisistic recluses who secretly love feelin oppressed cause it makes them part of a group and therefore powerful. also really hypocritical and completely out of touch with reality in a major way and thats not hyperbole


the most inspirational man in history:

things go wrong in life but everyday is a new chance to seek out and find your own way to achieve and attain your glory. each day is a journey and a quest and its up to you how it ends. take control of your life today and start the long journey towards the glory you desire

here is a video clip from 'rudy' my personal most inspirational sports movie of all time

You created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Psalm 139:13-14

Everything and everyone you know, want to know, wish you didn't know; everything that you love and everything that you hate will die.



Dark? Yes. But facts like that remind me to not take anything too seriously and just enjoy myself. Why get caught up on the deets? The past? The future? The petty? The not-so petty?

Too much fun to be had. Drinks to drink, people to know and love and fvck, drugs to take, things to buy... or steal. S'all a great big joke to me.

Which is evident by ur life. No offense meant by it but I didn't know how else to say it. Some things are very much worth caring about.

Crazy things is,

Not everyone wants the same things for themselves.

My life looks ****ty to you, probably. And it's ****ty to me sometimes too. But when I'm happy, I'm happier than anyone I've ever known.

Nihilism is freeing... but nearly impossible to achieve in its entirety.

well good for u and i dont mean that in a snarky way. i think most ppl have a similar basis to things they want tho and it usually takes some amount of hard work or sacrifice to get those things. theres also a lot of ppl resigned to the fact that they are not willing to strive for their personal glory and have grown complacent


i heard a quote the other day that i will use to motivate the masses. the quote was 'dont allow the past to hold the future hostage.' when i was young i would allow the past to hold the present and future hostage. i have learned that u must be able to put the past away and step back from that ledge, my friend. fukc closure you just need to move on from the poisons and strive for that glory. i hope this bit of reading will help everyone here realize that its time to move forward from whatever devils currently hold you back from being the greatest version of yourself

yes this is good

Never forget what running can do.

thanks for the contributions



today is a day of glory?? why? more like 'why not?' what are you gonna make of today? we all have that same option everyday of our lives which boils down to one simple question we must ask ourselves.... am i gonna strive for glory today? if not then whats your excuse. you may choose not to but you are only denying yourself the glory to be held. we can never know what will happen tomorrow so why not live to the maximum today. if you improve every day of your life as a person think about how great you will be next year at this time, or in 5, 10, 20 yrs, etc etc etc. it is a slow process and it takes hard work but everyone reading this is in this journey together. lets get the glory we aspire for

thanks
