07-08 August 2012 Days 9 & 10 of My Own 30 Days

As the days pass I can not help but feel I am not fully achieving success in my own 30 days.  I feel somewhat like a hypocrite.  I tell people to reach out and own their life but I have slacked on my DDPYoga.  I do apologize.  I have 20 days left 19 after today.  I will step up the DDPYoga game.  I can see him now.  Hollering at me in a motivating way "Do your DDPYoga Monkey!"  It is so much easier to motivate others sometimes than it is to actually motivate myself.  So I will get my ass into gear and step it up.  I do know that when i was doing it everyday I felt totally awesome.  Kinda like how after I run I am really tired but from sweating out the toxins in my body i feel amazing.  The same holds true for when I did my DDPYoga.  So I am gonna get my ass in gear and work towards fully owning my life. 

So today for PT they went for a run in their body armor.  I do not have any of my armor so I ran with them without it.  My 1Sgt and a MSGT were talking smack and said I should be running around the formation.  I was like roger I'll give you 5 laps.  I did the 5 laps.  Little did I know I was providing the motivation the others needed to finish strong.  I had a lot of people come up and thank me for what I did.  Yes I was not bound by the body armor but the sprinting wore me down.  I didnt give up I pushed myself.  I was glad that me doing that pushed them as well.  Again its a lot easier for me to motivate others than myself sometimes.  I love motivating people.  I like helping people see that they can do things.  Thats part of why I started this blog.  This is new to me so I am sorry that I have not posted one everyday.  I will make every effort to finish the 20 days strong and determined.  If any of you would like to comment please feel free I know I say it every time I post but I am not recieving any feedback.  I get here and there comments so I know its getting read. 

I have learned to be mindful of what you say around people.  I help people to see the brighter side because I will talk about a crappy day have a smile on my face and let them know how and why it does not bother me.  Life is too short to die of worry and stress.  Life gets hard.  Very hard.  Everyone has their own unique situation so yes what I say does not apply to all but I do feel it applies to a majority.  If you want me to write about something or just my opinion on something please feel free to let me know.  Feel free to ask me questions.  I am a nobody.  I am Jason Young.  My words mean nothing.  Will I ever be famous probably not.  Do I want to be famous?  Not really.  What do I want?  To be able to touch peoples lives and help them by seeing you can fix problems but not change life.  I tweet about beating life into submission.  You can not actually hit life.  Why because life is an inanimate object.  What you can do is beat life into submission is a figurative sense.  I urge all of you to try and see the brighter side of things.  Why?  Because life will be a lot better. 

Life is short.  Too short to have hate and regrets.  If you are feeling hate move on from what you hate so that you are not focusing energy on something ultimately you probably can not change.  Do not focus on what you can not chance focus on what you CAN change.  It is hard to do this all the time.  If you live by that principle then you will not be as angry.  I am not a Star Wars nerd but yoda has a quote that puts a lot into perspective.

Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

YODA, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Fear can lead to a lot of negative things.  If you let fear consume your life you literally can end up down a dark road that causes maybe not only suffering for you but family and friends and strangers alike.  If you can overcome fear and anger then you are more likely going to be able to own your life.  These are two hard things to actually overcome though.  No one ever said owning your life would be easy.  In the mean time i do urge you to go to DDPYoga.com and check it out.  I hope you enjoyed todays post and I will post again tomorrow.  Until then kick life in the ass and get it out of the way so you can own your own life.

Thanks for reading,

Jason
