Comfort Does Not Get You Off Your Ass.

You have been through this before. Not knowing when the next dollar will come through. You only think that you were out of the deep end because you could pay your bills for a few months, and you considered that breathing room. Problem is you are thinking even right now about digging into your savings and not even for a business plan or model. You really only are thinking that if i get through this next month that everything will be fine for the following. You know it won’t. You don’t need those things you want. You really don’t even need to buy food, but you’re just tired of cooking the same thing over and over again.

This is a mentality that I know all too well. I think most of you reading will say yes, I’ve been there. Or I am there right now. It is ok, just remember to take a step back. Remember what you have, maybe be grateful for what you have for a few moments. Always when you’re facing a problem, you can become clouded by the things you already have. Be inside your house or even just your room for a second. Now put your face right up to something you own. Pretty boring and depressing when you think of how hard you work every day, and you realize that you only have this one thing. 

When you stand back and look at the room as a whole, you may think you have a lot. You have worked so hard for years and now when you see how much you have you just might not buy that other thing that you think you needed. Need, need, need. You keep saying this to yourself as if you needed the last 10 things you bought when you really only needed 1 or 2. The same goes for money. Your inability to adapt to the absence of things you have makes you think that you need more than what you own. You fill your home with more and more things in the thought that it may make you happy. You are able to purchase something. When it comes to times when you can’t even afford gas for your car, or put food on your table, have to have friends pay for drinks. The moment you cannot freely make that decision, you will regret the last few things you bought. In a mad dash you will try and return what you bought, or even sell things you have had had for years.

My issue with me spending money on things that don’t seem worth it to me, is that I am not learning to adapt to what I want. I’ve said it before. Spending money is easy. Even easier, money that you don’t have, or is not yours. Just think of how many Americans are in credit card debt and think how many of those will spend the next 5 years paying it off. Not all debt is bad of course. 

To look at it in another light, when you spend so much money on things to decorate your home and nothing on your dreams. At Least your house looks nice right? Up to you. What are you going to do with the next lump of money that comes to you? A raise at your job, bonus pay, 100 dollars from your grandma. Will it be spent, or invested? Investment is defined as: the action or process of investing money for profit or material result, OR a thing that is worth buying because it may be profitable or useful in the future OR, an act of devoting time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result. If you did not realize, THAT IS YOUR DREAMS. Do yourself a favor when you get home. Just walk in, close the door behind you. Think about what you have. Was any of this a need? Probably not, but I like how I live. It is “comfortable” ……that is the problem. Bangov Actual, out.

Whining Is Why You Are Still Here

Overworked and underpaid is a poor mentality. Don’t tell me you’re underpaid when you have nothing to do with creating the income that is set for you. You’re doing your job and you are getting paid to do your job. You agreed upon the terms when you applied so don’t cry about your inability to establish your worth. Wipe your tears, and smile.Of course people will disagree with this because they think they work “hard”… so what, so do the people standing next to you. Also if you are convinced that you work harder than the rest then, then step up to the plate, be a man about it. Yes ladies this means you too. Put all of your efforts into moving forward with the company and do not think to yourself that you deserve anything more than what you have unless you are willing to ask for it to your boss’s face. If you can’t do that, then you deserve to be exactly where you are.

Help Yourself First

Ego is defined as: a person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance. What is upsetting is there are some who think that it is to be sold to others. Nobody cares about what you think of yourself unless they make money off of you or are your family. Why is it that we encounter others who want validation from those who have nothing to do with the process of what they are trying to achieve. If you’re on a football team a quarterback is not going to throw the ball to himself. A quarterback is reliant on those he has on his team. He is reliant on those he trusts to do their job in order to accomplish a certain goal. More yardage, block the defense, or score the touchdown. He does not rely on the fans. Same goes with the military. You rely on those with specific sets of skills in order as a whole to move forward. It is very apparent that a person is willing to help others in a time of need. Far more than not do we tell people to help themselves. Don’t think that just because you’re helping others, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t help yourself. If you never help yourself then inevitably you become the one begging others for help. This is not to say that walking over people will get you very far. Only so far you can go till someone starts to talk about how they were treated. Your ego will get you as far as the people you walk over to get to the next step. If you don’t have good people skills, or are not interested in getting to know others, then your potential for greatness is like a small window cracked open when it could be French doors open on a sunny day.

Don’t Claim Victim To Failure

Just remember everyone is under the impression they are an expert at something when they read something that they are passionate about. They read something that agrees with their point of view, so in their mind they have already made up their mind on the matter or subject. To question it, you may be labeled by them as misinformed or not informed enough on the subject. My question to them is, always how much do they care about what they are advocating about? Have they invested in it? Or are they just the one yelling on the side of the street holding a sign saying what they want to happen. Protesting does not always mean that you care about the intended subject that you are roaring about. You could be pulled in by your social gathering or people you surround yourself with. 

 

By the time you realize that you have been lied to or forced by those you call your friends. May be too late for you to go back and think about the actions leading to you being in trouble for someone else’s belief system. It’s not hard to be shouted into compliance. Especially if you have never been shouted at in the first place. Growing up in a “safe space environment.” Nobody ever challenges you. Your parents passively raise you as you walk all over them in search of a purpose for yourself. You lack social skills, so you fall prey to those who can spin bullshit into something of meaning for you to follow. 

 

You’ve become a slave. Just someone in search of purpose, with no structure, and surrounded by people who don’t care anything about you. Just of the cause that they have fallen for by their slave owners. You end up even more miserable than them because at least they have established some measure of dominance over you. This fake hierarchy where unless you have a younger audience that you have poisoned their mind into the same belief system then maybe you feel as if you have gained the respect of young minds who just don’t know any better and those are the only ones who will listen to you. Earning respect and demanding it are very different things. 

 

Respect is defined as: Respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities and achievements. For someone who has never really achieved anything, but has only been able to corrupt the minds of someone vulnerable to interpretation. We must see ourselves as better. As individuals who are in charge of our own pursuits may experience failure. We must remember not to take the easy way out and think that just because we have failed, we should not go the way of making everyone else around us just as miserable, and calling it an achievement.

Does Your Life Matter?

It is remarkable how people are influenced. Influence is defined as: the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself. What people don’t mention is that it can also mean to force or control. When someone thinks that their life matters enough to better it. 

Getting a higher paying job or looking for another career option. Let’s say someone doesn’t agree with your intended career path. Let’s say law enforcement. Military, gunsmithing, or something else that may have a particular news presence that week. Haha I’ve seen butcher shops that have animal rights activists, I’ve seen bakers with LGBT protesters because they refuse to make a cake that was against their religious beliefs.

Whether you take these sorts of things into consideration is up to you when choosing a career. Just keep in mind that people are always trying to control aspects of other people’s life because they cannot control their own. If you want to be a cop, go be one of the good ones. If you want to be a baker, and don’t want to bake a cake with a bunch of dicks on it. Other people will have to learn that the world does not revolve around them. 

You decide if your life matters enough not to give in to societal pressure. There are a lot of losers in the world who just want some sort of control in their life. It is not your responsibility to give it to them. Bangov Actual, out.

Guns? Illegal?? When Did This Start?

Welp! That escalated quickly. Of course, people are going to be pissed when you threaten their way of life. Yes, that means take away people’s guns. Haha what? You guys thought I wouldn’t talk about this? Of course, I would, I’ve been talking about leaving people the fuck alone since you all have been reading these blogs. If you haven’t heard of the “firearms culture,” then let me just tell you they are a bunch of guns toting Wack jobs, consummate professionals, and my favorite, larping questionable. It is pretty fascinating to see one side be completely set in their ways. Know little to nothing about laws, tactics, or even diplomacy, and then on the other side have some of the most linguistically elegant, as well tactically proficient men I have ever seen with a broom stick. One thing we all have in common, we love guns. Now coming from the perspective of a gun owner, which is also if you’re a political representative hahaha it is the worst thing you can say, because we all know this is a half ass attempt at creating some sort of commonality between gun owners and yourself. IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT A POLITICIAN OWNS GUNS. Since you were elected, your job is to be reelected. That means to cater or appeal to those who are going to get you elected again. If in a blue state, then gun control will be your platform. 

 

We have all heard the arguments that countries who have faced atrocities such as mass shootings, have given up their guns. As well have sold the idea that gun control works based on an emotional perspective. “If you like guns then you hate children.” This is someone who is so emotionally charged in their belief that no matter what you say, you could have every stat or chart proving them wrong. It will not matter to them that you may know more about the topic, or even be able to articulate your point better. If they have either had an emotional experience or if they “identify” (Left words) with the trauma they will take ownership of an experience, they didn’t even have. Then you ask them, we’ll have you ever shot a gun, which doesn’t really matter for the sake of arguments, but you’re trying to win the argument, not actually bring them to a new perspective. They will respond with “no, but my friends have guns.” Sounds pretty stupid now doesn’t it. Just have to say it in your head. 

 

Of course, also it would be ridiculous to tell any of you which side you should be on with this issue. As always, I leave it up to you. If you like guns, ok, if you don’t like them, ok. Just remember you not agreeing or liking something under any circumstance, does not give you the right to choose for others whether they get to have it or not. You are not entitled to make those decisions for others. ESPECIALLY IF IT IS IN THE CONSTITUTION. LAWS THAT ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL, ARE NOT LAWS. 

 

List of gun Confiscations around the world:

 

170 million deaths over the next 100 years

Inspiration Kills Progress

To be inspired is like buying everything you think you will need based on what you think, or picture yourself needing before you even start the job. Also, ladies think of spending 4 hours getting ready for your man who takes you to McDonalds. The excitement of what could be doing rarely ever turns out to be what is expected. Just do your job and maybe after 6 months you’ll realize, huh, “maybe I need more sticky notes.” You have actually been in the position for a while now. You know what to expect. You have a feel for the culture at your job. Maybe a suit is too much, maybe just a sweater vest, nice button up. Comb over your hair, new bottle of hand sanitizer because you’re a fucking serial killer that is afraid of germs and human contact. You get to the next step and your progression continues to the corporate office. Nice suit, ties, socks, whatever tickles ya. Point being inspiration never really got you to where you wanted to be. Just the ability to choose did. Knowing the process of how to apply when the opportunity came into focus. You saw your shot when it was announced the position would be open. You went for it. 

 

To inspire is defined as: fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative. Crazy to think that you are working somewhere right now, and you have been there for longer than necessary because you have never even known what was next. You feel trapped in the assembly line. You feel trapped because you don’t know how to compete. The position is not important. You may be an assembly worker; you may be one of the top execs at your firm. Gunning for a partnership or even your own branch. Don’t think this will be easy, just know that time cannot be stopped and more importantly it is where you want to be. We all have a constant want to be in a position higher than where we are. Some are content but those who want to move forward just need to keep wanting. If you are constantly needing to be inspired to get up and go to work. It is possible you may not even want it. Ladies think of inspiration like a 1st date. You spend 3 hours on hair and makeup when 30 min will take his breath away. It’s unnecessary and can even be damaging. Bangov Actual, out.
