15/11/20 ^^^Really begin Athlete4Life

 The ideal life for me as an Athlete4Life is RUN-KETTLEBELL/SKIP ROPE - RUN.

My hangup is I got to wash my clothes 3 times a day.  A lame excuse for an Athlete Warrior.  I choose this life.  I have to live with it.

This is the life I choose.

Don't think.  Just do.

Beyond pain is greatness.  Pain starts at 40%.  Beyond 80% is greatness.

You must face discomfort.

David Goggins lives the life of a monk much like me.

I write my own book.  Now is to read my own book.

Once you reach the top of the mountain, you come sliding down - David Goggins.

The worst that can happen to the person is being civilized.

I need to stay Spartan.

My alter ego is Din Jamal - The high-spirited guy who is ready to take life head-on.  The guy who doesn't give a fuck and who doesn't fuck up.  Din Jamal exist long before there was Sha.  Long before the Wandering Sufi, long before the Zen Monk, and long before I become God.

All Din Jamal cares about was his run.  He was a fighter.  He was positive.  He was ready to take the world by storm.  He kept his world small, so he can stay focus.

So I can be who I am but for the three segments I had marked in the day, that is me being Din Jamal the Athlete Warrior, the Spartan.  That is me going back to the time when I was the happiest.  It was the time I create Mens Sana in Corpore Sano for myself.

---------------------------

Make your world small.  That way you stay focus.  Take control of the information coming into your mind.  When the alarm rings switch to Din Jamal.  Be in charge.

This is me starting from scratch today.  I want this.  I want greatness.  At the age of 56, I can be great again.  I have 21 years to go.  I have the vehicle to take me there, the mindset of Din Jamal, the young Athlete Warrior.

I come

I see

I conquer

Veni, Vidi, Vici

Stay focus...

I must face my own demons.  These are in my Jar of Fuck:

• I have to deal with Bipolar Disorder
• I have to deal with the medication
• I have gout
• I cough dark mucus every morning
• I am 30 kg overweight
• I have no energy
• I cannot run for more than 20 minutes

Din Jamal needs to turn things around if he is to become an Athlete Warrior.

I did 21 minutes of Weights and Kettlebell.  I feel great.  Beyond pain there is greatness.

I need to have a higher pain threshold.  Push the limit.
