9/6/19 - Fatigue

I was in conversation with a friend today and something was said stuck out as an interesting point to me. We spoke about writing this blog and that the reflection it provides will be a really beautiful thing when looking back on it after it has been added to for months and even years. The blog will act as a timeline of progression depicting my ups and downs that have occurred in a span of my life. These experiences with hopefully be picked up by someone and provide them with an insight into their life or of someone they know to allow them to benefit from my experiences. However, I replied to my friends comment "it's good as my other architecture friends would have quit after a week as all to hard with the fatigue", with "mumma raised no quitter". Now this speaks directly to my character, I'm a stubborn son of a gun most of the time! (but that's just cause I am never wrong 😂😂). This phrase that I typed is a testimony to my own personal mental, physical and emotional development that has occurred in the past 10 plus years of fatigue. I trully believe it is the key to how I am at this current point in my life. If I had not pushed and strived in any of my achedemic studies or my physical training I would not be where I am today, not have achieved what I have. It was not easy if I am to be honest, but, it was worth it. Looking back the benefit/gain outweighed the sacrifice, and, I would do it exactly the same all over again.

Lesson of the day - the benefit/gain outweighs the sacrifice. To get anywhere worth being in life takes dedication and hard work. Simple as that. Don't be affraid to sacrifice things (eg. relationships, friendships) as when you are succeeding everything else in life that is not your work will fall into place.
