Ane Burn – By Your Side
Caution: You don’t have to read Musicpervs!
Why do you even read anything that’s posted on this blog?
Because, by and large the contents here are profoundly personal and mostly tailored for honestly not-everybody! Plus, I don’t even know (let alone understand) — why anyone would give any fucks to go through this not-so-sexy private inventory of my life and take a pain in their fucking butt-hole to skim though the posts only to trash them later and eventually forget about them in the future.
Anyways, if you’ve decided to hold on despite my honest discretion; well, you know and I know that i’ve posted enough inspirational shits before.
Given the fact that the doses of inspiration don’t last for very long. That inspiration is not timeless, that Inspiration is fucking volatile. Blah! blah blah bleh!
So why sweat about it in the first place over and over again, right?
The answer my friend is: Despite repeated fucking annihilation of this beautiful, instrumental element — without-a-doubt, inspiration (a half brother to motivation ) is also at the same time a powerful and lethal and reliable and efficient catalyst — mostly to get un-dones done!
However, however, I suggest, don’t seek for inspiration at all but when it finally breaks in through the cracks, into your life, just fucking seal it, feed on it, breathe on it — when it lasts!
Two examples.
First: Tim Grover – a bestselling author of Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable, and most importantly, a credible trainer to some of the most elite athletes like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and dozens of other top performing athletes, in his book, writes:
“I don’t care how much you can lift, how fast you can run, how many pull-ups you can do, or whether you can hit a three while blindfolded. There are only three things I ask of every client… Show up, work hard, and listen. That’s it. It requires no talent, no special genetics, or any skill whatsoever to show up, work hard, and listen.”
He adds,
“When I train my athletes, it’s a dictatorship with three rules: show up, work hard, and listen. If you can do those three things, I can help you. If you can’t we have no use for each other. I will bust my ass for you every way possible, but I expect you to do the same for yourself. I’m not going to work harder than you do for your benefit. Show me you want it, and I’ll give it to you.”
Second: my most cherished actor, Sir Robin Williams who would’ve celebrated his 68th birthday on July 21, 2019, has few grains of wisdom to share about the real deal inspiration
You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren’t paying attention to.
