The Daily Dose x “Beast Mode”

BEAST MODE . . . everybody has one. And if you don’t I highly recommend that you find and cultivate one. This is part of what being a “Student Of The Game” (#SOTG) is about. Actively searching for oneself and from that awareness, actively asserting and assuming your place in this “place”.

Its that mind state where you feel invincible, where any obstacle in your path is merely a challenge, where good days aren’t hoped for but fought for and born of firm resolve. Its a state of being that we know requires of us both sacrifice and discipline, focus and action, patience and dedication.

I define mine as follows;

“Run faster. Eat better. Write more. Sleep longer. Try harder. Aim higher. Love more. Day by day, get happier.”

I only get about 4 to 6 months a year in which I’m willing and capable of getting up off my ass to sow, the potential rewards I hope to reap in the other 6 to 8 months of the year. There’s a huge benefit to being aware of when these times in your life are and what they mean to you, cos’ once you know you can fine tune and manipulate these moments.

I think why I spend so much of the year avoiding this period of “get up and go” is because while it may be incredibly rewarding, it also means having to face the reality of my current state (mental, physical,emotional,spiritual) and then finding the courage and strength to both face and overcome the challenge and uncertainty of personal growth.

So I’ll usually find that these “beast mode” periods are preceded by periods of utter disregard for growth as an ACTUAL human. I drink more knowing full well the repercussions of letting “Tehn Demon” out of his cage, I chain smoke as if I’d forgotten growing with terrible asthma, I chase tail as if my soul depended on it knowing full well its love my soul lives for, I forget to make time to be silent with myself and at peace . . . in short, I take myself to the other side of the light.

Till I find myself in darkness, alone and unfulfilled. Till I’m sick and tired enough to say “You can be so much more than just this.” Then it begins again, the fresh metamorphosis. I don’t think its to healthy, but then I don’t really care . . . I’m happy to let myself find itself time and time again.

Its thanks to this constant rebirth, that I end up here, writing this kinda blog and embarking on this kinda day. The first of what I always hope and pray will be many endless days of productivity and positive living . . . knowing full well of course, that this cycle of destruction and rebuilding will continue.

And with every cycle, another “I” is born to face whatever “US” stands outside the door waiting to either beat me down or build me up.

Welcome, to #SOTGseason . . . where “Beast Mode” reigns supreme.

So do you know YOUR beast mode ? Lemme know in the comments yea.
