Momentum Is Who You Lose And Gain

Gaining Momentum in order to see a work in progress. Is that what we are all looking for? Is it the old seeing,Is believing. Well for that you must put pen to paper. You must have the action of putting one foot in front of the other to see how far you have gone. Paint a wall and know that you’re that much closer to finishing the room. Run a mile and know you’re that much closer to 2 miles. You get the point. Momentum is going to feel like pushing a train. Super hard to get going, but just know it comes from day to day struggles over time creating motion. Will not happen in one day, and will not happen if you are not consistent. Consistent is defined: acting or done in the same way over time. Knowing time is your obstacle, then you are the only thing that needs to get moving. Whatever presents itself as a result of that you should learn to be proud, and create the momentum you wish to chase. Don’t allow those who are stuck to determine your motion. Life tends to be suited to those who are in constant motion. Does not mean you have to leave those you love behind, just means they are not always there with you every step of the way. Ride the wave, see how far you go and as always it is your choice when deciding to settle down. To me momentum comes in two types. The momentum you create in your life based on the work you put into the foundation. This being, research done beforehand, pre-workout for all you gym rats. Or the popular “leg work.” We tend to forget when we are riding the wave, or so coked out on pre-workout, our relationships between those around us that can keep our momentum going. We have spent all this time trying to get the people holding us back out of our life. Those who put us down, who shame us for wanting more when they complain about not having enough. Really upsetting as well when they are the ones who need more help than you because you have the confidence to finally break away from the world you have felt trapped in for what seems like a lifetime. DON’T. YOU. FRET! It is all about to be different, it just starts with your decisions to make it better. Despite your emotional state, push through in knowing you’re getting closer to the light.

Come On We’re Both Naked Here

Come on man we’re both naked here. You’re never really in control. Can be taken from you at any second. Kind of exciting right? Are most of you still stuck on the first sentence? That is OK because it is where this blog really takes place and in spite of my of how people feel of showering at the gym, it is full of emotions that i see as a necessity for those who lack confidence. If you have seen the movie Crazy Stupid Love then you may remember the conversation between Steve Carell and Ryan gosling in the men’s locker room when Ryan goslings character is testing Steve’s character by having his dick in his face. Not saying the class is for everyone but it does help in a sense depict the issue that men. No matter how old, men have a problem, or insecurity with another man naked in the same room. Why is it that? Is it because we are afraid of being gay? Maybe we might get a little nub and be “confused” all of a sudden. Insecurities about our own body? I find it odd that men have such an awkwardness leading up to later years about being naked in a gym locker room, where frankly you’re supposed to be naked. I’m not saying walk through town guys, but at least take some time to gather up some confidence about who you are as a man. Ladies just know I don’t go walking into the ladies locker room all the time so for me to comment on such a thing, or leave your perspective out of this is not intentional, I just don’t have the perspective of being in a room full of naked women and asking how they feel about it. Being in a place such as the locker room is really a testament to men and just how insecure they can be. The lack of confidence, or thinking that they have to be impressive towards other men, of course in a non sexual way. To most men, life is competition, sports, work, money, status. Constantly in the ring and trying to fight our ways to the top. The comment I made earlier, “Come on man we’re both naked here, what is really going on?” Was an encounter I had with an elderly gentleman in the gym after my morning workout. He had just wrapped a towel around his arm and was headed to the showers. Coming to the door which separates shower room from the lockers, he seems to have a fit and starts questioning me, “why do they prop open this door?” I myself have just dropped my towel and this conversation was taking place. I thought clearly this guy is having a bad day, this cannot be what he is really upset about. I shout out “Come on man, we’re both naked here, what’s really going on?” He must have been hard of hearing, because I said it a few times, and never got a response, or he just didn’t know how to reply. In that event he takes the trash can propping open the door and throws it against the sinks. As he proceeds to the showers, 10 people coming to and from the showers open that door and smack into the trash can. So I myself being the antagonist put the trash can back, propping the door open, grab my bag and leave. Some people just have no control in their lives and will do anything throughout the day to feel some sort of it. Control yourself, and the direction you are going. Everyone else is not worth your time. Bangov Actual, out.

So Many Keys To Success, Get In The Fucking Door

When your passion is tested. Think of the millions of times when in your head you will tell yourself to quit. I used to play a game with myself and count the number of times I told myself to quit. I did it for a week. I quit over 300 times. When you’re constantly telling yourself to stop doing something, something is too hard, or this is not what I want to do. Usually the body follows the head anatomically. So therefore you just need to make the conscious decision to tell yourself the opposite. Nobody is holding you down, I hope, nobody is physically restraining you from succeeding. Of course everywhere you may look someone is telling you to go in a different direction but what you need to make as part of your daily routine among all the other things is telling yourself that you are your own person, and you have the confidence to do whatever you WANT TO DO. Not that you can do anything, that just confuses people. Understand the difference of what you have passion for, other than what you have seen on TV and just been motivated to do for a week. If you are truly passionate about something then nothing will stop you from attending in making yourself better. It will become easy and of course hard times will be mixed in but remember that it is all apart of the process of molding yourself and what you want to get out of each experience so maintaining that positive mental attitude will be the deciding factor on if you become one of the community or one of the best. Continue to encourage yourself, unless you can hire a coach, personal trainer, or someone just giving you compliments all day, still won’t matter until you tell yourself and do it so much that you start to believe it. Just has to be what you want. I have covered wants before and I can only hope that people continue to define what they want by what they are passionate about. The struggle is inside you so don’t play the blame game. Everything starts and ends with you and what you’re willing to tackle responsibility for. If your passion is key then turn it and go through the fucking door. Bangov Actual, out.

Confidence Is The Game

When money is the obligation then freedom becomes second. Obligation is defined as: an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound; a duty or commitment. I happened to know a little something about duty, commitment, and the legal binding of signing your name on the line for years of dedicated service to your country. The morality of that I will let you decide. Years of your life you are obligated to has a different feeling. Every day you get up not because you have ambition to get up. You do it out of a sense of duty to your promise you made. When the day comes that you have established your duty based on your moral obligations to what you have created. It will become a part of you. Doing it everyday, and you won’t have a day off because it will consume you. The days you had before seemed distant, unimportant and a place saver for what was going on inside you. Just takes time. Which again is why I write so many other blogs about saving time, not wasting it on people that haven’t found their own way of life. They don’t have their vision, direction, or they just don’t care to compete. Common misconception is that when the race is over,win or lose that it is over. You are done. Look at any star athlete, celebrity, Olympic champion. Once the race or game has been won to prove themselves they are still at a constant. Life doesn’t end when you win. Life ends when it ends. Even after they have proved themselves they continue on for the next challenge, adventure. Whether it be wealth, love, or another physical pursuit. There are those who don’t have enough confidence in themselves in order to make the decision to pursue something. Also be very aware CONFIDENCE IS THE GAME. Look at life as it is only the things you want to do. You’ll be amazed at what world you can create for yourself. We always look to people of fame and fortune and say those are things I cannot do. I am not interested in those things. THEN PICK SOMETHING YOU LIKE. Nobody daydreams of what they wish not to be. Granted they may have flashes or decisions in order to stay away from what they fear to become. Only you can make those choices for yourself. Pick and choose based on what manifests in your mind. Create, create, create, dig, dig, dig. Nothing I have not said before, but I will continue to say it to get it through your big heads. Also a big head can still be small minded so stay hungry in your pursuit of knowledge and always stay confident in your abilities. You may think you’re in last place right now, may be broke, hungry, tired. In the game of life, if you’re not moving forward, then get out of the way. Bangov Actual, out.

Customer Service Is A Way Of Life

Customer service should be a class. No test, the only test is life. Seen some shit customer service in the past few weeks. See how you are with others, and let that transfer to your professional life, and see how far that gets you. Seen servers role their eyes for questions pertaining to their job. Gotten, just “I don’t know, and I don’t care attitude. Customer service has to be a priority when not only creating yourself, but a business, I myself have told a customer off but only when they are disrespectful. I do not mean they say anything demeaning, or they even insult you or your company, but at the point of threatening when they do not get what they want. Be mindful only in circumstances where there is threat of a physical altercation do you put your hands on someone. That goes for just life in general. That is one side of the spectrum. I am talking about keeping your cool when a customer is flat out screaming at you. To be put in these situations I want you to think to yourself, have I really done anything to upset this person. Of course not but always in the back of your mind I can probably do something to make them happy. Deescalating the situation before hand is all it takes when dealing with someone that is upset about how they feel they are being treated. Reassurance goes a long way, as well an explanation is always a way to get you talking and them to calm down. I know what you’re thinking, what if they insult you, they call you an idiot, they go after character, IT.DOES.NOT.MATTER. This can be utilized in a good way. Someone offended, or insulted you, understand if you’re working at a place where a manager is called that does not stand up for you, WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE. Company culture will define how you go about this, some cultures I’ve seen take it and it is not good for business. You cannot help everyone, and a company must be respectful of it’s employees. Of course unless that employee is in the wrong. Customer service is about giving the right impression even before the problem starts and a company that is able to fix a multitude of problems has a very strong history of repeat customers. Customer service takes away the customers notion that they are doing business with a company. You want it to be more personal, so make sure they know they are doing business with you. Sell yourself and the customer will develop a sense of trust in what you say. Which are very important to you especially if they work on commission. When people are treated In a certain way and shown a level of competence above others they are sure to return. Of course you will have bad days but just like anything else, it all is going to start with you and how you want to face the day. Can either be a good or bad day, choice is yours.

Define Your Wants In Life

When all is said and done thinking about WHAT YOU WANT is the most important thing. I mean what you really want. Not just what you saw in a movie and thought, huh, that would be cool. Something you may not even know that has been a dream of yours. You’ve been off and on between work and play and then the in between is something that has distracted you from even things you think you have wanted. It is the fuel that drives you to do things that see you differently. When you were a kid, you may have been called a show off. I was because I liked girls. Pushing myself was also an evolution of going for bigger and better challenges. First it is physical, then mental, then financial. When all those fade away you tend to do things because you think I am going to die one day and this is just what has been done from the beginning. You’re creating your inevitability before the world. The only thing you must do from then on is make it known to the world. Everyone is known for something. What do you want to be known for? This is how you focus and narrow your focus so that it becomes a part of your success. That is what people will know you for, you just need to believe that you can set yourself apart from it, even if you don’t believe, if you believe it long enough it will become a part of you. It will become your reality. So first, find who you are, second, ask, how do I become better? Back yourself into a corner so that you have no choice but to fight your way out. The further you continue to go towards what you want the more you don’t want to look back. Many roads will get you from a to b. Just don’t take too many roads that you end up going backwards. To want something, as desire is defined: strong, feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen. With a feeling that has to be created we must want something for it to be felt. Love, as we have all felt, or at least the desire for someone. Makes me think, what kept her from me? what kept him from her? The desire was there for both, then the only thing that was missing as them forgetting to communicate how they felt about each other. When you want something or someone you can either think that they would be happier with or without you. You still have to make the call that you are going to communicate to them, regardless of how they feel that it is going to be communicated that you like them. Yes you may regret not saying anything, but then missed opportunity creates in your mind that you have to take any opportunity that comes your way. Becomes confusing because then your wants become little opportunities seized. You have no direction at that point, you’re just taking wild shots, which, in your younger years can be fun, and a great learning experience. As you get older, wanting to define yourself and what you are about becomes harder, or at least something that feels more rushed. In life, always make a quality product, especially when establishing yourself. You deserve it for the amount of work you’re about to put into it. Bangov, Actual, out!

Give Up Control

What binds us to the life we are living now? Are we happy? Is that even a prerequisite anymore. To go through life does not have any means of a pursuit. You don’t have to have a college degree, certificate of achievement. Hell you don’t even need a participation trophy to get through it. Big misconception is that you need others’ approval for your life choices. I hope those of you over 30 would know this but in this day and age you just never know what people need to hear anymore. Don’t need your parents approval, your friends, you’re kidding if you think they know more than you. Release yourself from others expectations and create your own. I have some time on this earth and it has always made me wonder if right now, at this very moment am I in the right mind set. Do I have the right mentality to move forward? Unfortunately I have only a few moments where everything has been in sync. I guess I had it once, and now it is a distant memory. I will spend the rest of my life trying to get it back and make it as consistent as possible. The consistency we feel keeps us in motion towards our happiness. Ok maybe not happiness always. Even happiness can be faked. Progress cannot though. Happiness is what is shared between people. We’re social creatures. If you disagree, then I would like to know what your happiness is. Continue to build who you are, piece by piece, laugh by laugh, cry by cry. Those around you are not who you need to please. They are those who are looking for their own journey. Nobody really has time to control others. Usually those who try have no control over their own lives. So what does it really mean to be in control? Since by definition, control is to influence, or direct people’s behavior or the course of events. Of course it has a few others, just look ’em up, I’m not going to do everything, BUT let’s just focus on this one. Although I am the one writing these blogs in order to inspire people to take risks, and make something of their lives. Maybe I’m controlling. Eh fuck it, get out there and make something of yourselves. That’s me when I’m controlling. I push others to be something they are afraid of. So don’t fuck with me, or I’ll push you to do all the things your afraid of. You know, like aspire to be someone you dream of being, follow your passions, or even tell the world to go fu k themselves while you work on yourself and focus on your happiness. Don’t focus on control. Experiment, enjoy the embarrassment. Bangov Actual, out!
