SELF CONTROL
Dedicated to my GR teammates on Access Denied
We could all use a little more self-control.
Some of you girls need to stop acting like crack whores online to get the approval of ghetto smurfs (culture defined, race irrelevant) whose only contribution to society might be a successful suicide before their drug involvement or DUI kills an innocent family,
Some need to take a break from their online pity party long enough to see just how good their have it in life. Your life may not be perfect but it is real, not some TV fantasy life. BTW Britney has everything life can offer her, but she still does not seem to be enjoying her life all that much, so fortune and fame may be a poor substitute for real life.
Some of us need to stop mainlining hi-fructose corn syrup soft drinks and wondering why we are getting fatter and dumber at the same time,
Some need to stop stuffing their faces with sugar and hi-carb crap,
sending our blood sugar levels and our moods on a rollercoaster ride each day, making it no wonder they are so miserable half the times,
Some need to recognize that listing yourself on "Hot or Not" is in fact a proclamation of your worthlessness and lack of depth. If society put forth as much effort in curing cancer and heart disease as it does on entertaining the masses so we will not realize how much our government is screwing us, the 1 & 2 causes of death would be eliminated.
Some need to realize that most of our online audience is unfit, unaware, unavailable and not capable of relationship deeper than the top layer of makeup on a boy band member, so if you are looking for love online you are likely basing your choices on looks alone and may learn to understand the old adage "you cannot judge a book by it's cover",
Some need to start basing their self-esteem on their achievements and correct decisions in life and not on what others think of me,
Some need to develop some guts for Gods sake and stop being linguine spined public opinion whores. Never prostitute your beliefs to get others to like you. It is far better to stand alone in the light of truth than to be a shadow in a crowd of deceit
Most of us need to get off our lazy asses; work or study harder,
stop feeling sorry for ourselves and take an active role in making our life better.
The only thing standing between your present situations and living your dreams is the person who looks back at you from your mirror.
Once you make the decision to attack life, to devour it, to overcome every obstacle that gets in your way of getting the life you want....then my friends, the world will be yours to enjoy.
I regret if I have offended any of you, but I would not be worthy of the title friend if I did not care about you all. We all wallow in hopelessness and pity at some point in our lives. We all feel helpless to our self-destructive desires, or emotional needs at times.
You must realize that you can fight those self-destructive desires, you can boost your own self-esteem, and become what you want to be, but in some cases it may take some effort. I am addicted to chocolate, love it, would eat it all day long, would gleefully die the size of a small watercraft if I did not fight the urge to eat it all day long.
I have survived hardships and obstacles in my personal life;
I have lost my only brother to substance abuse,
I have lost family members who meant the world to me,
I have lost over $100,000.00 in the stock market and made it back over 5 years,
I have been in debt to credit cards to the tune of $92,000.00 and paid it back,
I have had complex IRS problems handed me by my former business partner, left owing $32,000.00 in back taxes and penalties to the IRS and paid them off,
Severe medical problems when I was young requiring 8-12 very complex surgical operations and thousands of stitches in each of my hands,
Damage so extensive my surgical specialists told me I would never be able to use my hands for anything other than feeding myself.
I survived Disco in the 70s, yes a polyester leisure suit prom picture as a war wound that cut my psyche the deepest,
I survived those obstacles and problems and I believe you can all try harder to be better and happier in the long run.
If you need more to inspire you, ask Snapper about his football career, it is inspiring what you can do when you put your mind to it.
All of us share 1 thing in common; the biggest obstacle or demon in our entire lives is staring back at us from the mirror every day.
Find a way to make that demon your ally and you will realize your dreams.
Love you guys and gals; just want the best for you.
