So stress being the biggest bitch of all when it comes to wanting to work hard and play hard every day all day. We have to take a step back and remember we are human. The immune system is still a thing and we want to keep it strong, so aside from maybe vitamins and tea which I take and drink everyday, what are things that you guys do to keep the stress level down. Can never really get rid of it. Think of yourself as a teapot. Once the water boils it is time to turn it off or take it off the burner. What happens if you don’t? Water evaporates then you ruin the pot, and then your mom smacks you because you saw your favorite show on TV and forgot what you were doing. The point is stress will come in all forms or fashions and having a regular regiment of ways of relieving the stress is very important. Make sure you’re actually using the time to relieve stress. Workout, focus on breathing, meditate, and sleep is probably the biggest one for me. I have a cold now and my biggest pet peeve in the world is getting sick. I mean even more than hearing Alec Baldwin didn’t pull the trigger. Also a big one I am sure we all could do is maybe cut down on social media. I have a social media site, but in the pursuit of people’s happiness I would like to be an advocate for your physical and mental health. I tend to overwork myself, but understand that just like everything, persistence is not just in how hard you work, it is how you do what is necessary in basic maintenance to continue on. So grease up the hinges, tighten up the bolts, put coolant in the reservoir, whatever you need to tell yourself so that tomorrow is just another day and you’re in good health, so it is going to be a good day. Or like me and on day 3 of this shit cold. This is so dumb. Bangov Actual, out!
Competition Fuels Your Desire
It is Interesting when you ask someone what their hobbies are. They either have a ton or none. It’s either they run, swim, hike, dance, or sing. Hobbies are addictive, they give you something to strive for without having the pressure of success. You can do them at your leisure. So why is it that a business is different? Why don’t we think of business and individual hobbies or pursuits as a leisurely thing. You spend money to do one and the other you make money. Let’s just understand those who have it all together, make those two things become one in their life. Being able to make your hobby or passion be your income is a very beautiful thing. Hunting fishing, dancing, singing. All wonderful things if you can establish a business out of it. When is it that it kicks in for you that if you’re not moving forward, you are stagnant, or you’re going back. So challenge yourself whenever you get the chance. Utilize your hobbies to transfer into your pursuits, whichever they may be. Competition is a breeding ground for those looking for that rush in their life. Stop thinking it is only for those to prove themselves, even that being true, is that really a bad thing? It is a community of individuals who are trying to better each other by bringing their best to the table in all aspects of a competitive nature. Just like anything you will get from my blogs, if you’re in a negative state of mind you will get negative results. So think of what it may mean to you to be competitive and think positively about it and you’ll find a fuel inside that drives you to new heights. Positive, positive positive, wake up this way and you’ll be ahead of those whose days are filled with regret and even may bring them out of it. I hope to one day use my hobbies as a means of income for those in search of their own pursuits. Competition only has a disdain for those who don’t like to lose. Nothing wrong with losing, especially if you are new to whatever you are doing. You’re expected to fail because those who know what to do with failure end up being the most competitive. Not because they are big and scary, or mean, it is all mental. So is money, so again the excuse of “I am just not good enough,” is a lie you can tell yourself for the rest of your life. If you have a hobby, great, if you don’t get your ass off the couch and go find something you’re passionate about. I mean holy fuck, even a gamer will get pumped if they get 20 kills on Call Of Duty. I don’t know for sure if it is 20, I made that up, but I have seen those competitions and they get intense. So don’t think just because you are overweight, or can’t run fast that you can’t be competitive. That is a lie as well, so after all the excuses are gone and the dust settles which one are you going to choose? Bangov Actual, out.

A Case Of Over Indulgence
Most of you won’t get this till it is time. Like waves on a beach. Will come a time where all of this will seem like a memory, dejavu even. Just the same old slopes you’ve been going down and around. You’ll tend to see a different side of things and then everything else that bothered you before will seem irrelevant. You’ll be heading down that bunny slope looking for big air, but it’s a bunny slope so you’re going to look for the next challenge. Will never end. Pursuits are not supposed to end, just what you get out of them are supposed to be another piece of the puzzle missing from your life. Life, relationships, sex, business. The things you get in life pursuits will always be a greater than what you get from quick fixes like brownies, or sugary things, and there are 2 things in life I destroy, that is pizza…(get your mind out of the gutter) and a box of doughnuts. I have a wicked sweet tooth that every so often comes back with a vengeance. Holiday parties I have to have someone watch me so I don’t overload on sweets. I will eat myself sick. That being said I am like a fat kid with cake just trying to fill the void of something that I truly want. The pursuit is always there but sometimes I just lose track and before you know it I am in a line at Cinnabon with NO SUPERVISION, and I will order 4, no real reason. I even lie to the lady at the counter and say “yes I need these for a party.” Party is in my mouth BITCH! Then I go home and after all of them are consumed and I am being pg saying they are consumed. More like they are engorged by a sea serpent from the Nile. After the fact that it is over, and I have been found with belt open and napkin on the ground, I lay in my own wake as to be licked by my dog trying to get the last remaining filling off my forehead. I realize this is what it means to be where I am now and not be moving forward. The void is still there. The void is still in existence because I am still who I am. The choice to be better was shattered as soon as the decision was made to steer off the path. Could of probably been satisfied with a smoothie or something that would not put me in a coma for the next 4 hours while I binge watch romantic comedy’s and cry. Then again, tomorrow is another day. Know that it will be hard, because no matter if you go to the gym for 3 weeks, your cheat day depending on the severity will always be how you feel the next day, like you are starting over. So the key word is consistency. Choose what you would like to be consistent in. Cinnamon rolls, or steps to making yourself feel better and life more meaningful. We are all trying to make some sort of consistency work in our lives. Be consistent in your attempts, and see where it gets you. Bangov Actual, out.

Whew!, Glad I Made It Out Of There Alive
I told myself i was going to go to bed now but as you are reading I am still up and typing away for my mind has no bounds when it comes to sleep deprivation. For me sleep has always been a, “eh I will get to it when I get to it.” Kind of like chores, or having to do homework. My principal and I were very well acquainted, my straight c report card was not going to mail itself. For this I will say high school for me was not the standard educational practices. They definitely had those to some degree. I just chose to look at school as more of a social experiment to maneuver while in close quarters with other mouth breathers, and people who think they had it all figured out by age 17. Was not in the popular crowd, did not drink, did not smoke, and yet I found myself in very close proximity of these people all the time. Understand if you have teenagers, they are into some weird shit. It’s OK unless they start torturing animals, but that’s for you to figure out just how weird it is. When any group of teenagers get together, you have hormones raging, fireworks, light shows, making pizzas in an oven for 50 people in the guest house. Drunk and passed out on the couch, sail boat cover, in a sea of cheerleaders, or my personal favorite was 5 sitting in a circle with heads rolled back to high to get up. Yes prom night was fun. When do we cut off lost causes? What age is that not appropriate? I mean we as a society are OK with our 20’s nearly comatose from alcohol. Then you can’t forget about dirty 30’s. I am there now and it is pretty fun considering I am still trying to build everything I have invested in. This also coming from a guy who used to clean Department buildings. Vacuum, scrub floors, toilets. Don’t be someone who justifies your existence by what you do for a living, because that is what others are already doing for you. Just keep your head up and keep moving forward. What makes sense to you now will make sense to those when they are ready to see it. Even these 5 high in a circle could be a doctor or lawyer some day, I choose to not put people in that bubble. They have aspirations and dreams all their own and even older now I am sure I will have my day I just need to let go and will find myself looking for my own sail boat cover to lay in after a night of boozing. For now your reality is only a thin fabric of who you are and at any moment you are more than capable of starting a new avenue that may just be a better fit for your lifestyle. Always be thinking of improvement, it is not greedy to think how your life can be better, the more you do for yourself, the more you can do for others. Bangov Actual, out.

Be Your Own Example
I had sex, and I liked it…OK not really , kind of going through a dry spell, but if that doesn’t get your attention then what will right? Establish what really “motivates” you. When you look at your lives and think that they could be any other way. Really define who you are now and define who you choose to be in this world. It is one of your biggest freedoms looking at the life you have and the life that you want to live for the rest of it. Doesn’t matter how old you are and the younger you are the less excuse you have because you have so much life left to live and time is on your side. The older you are I don’t want to hear any shit from you either, you have all the experience that life had to offer and you tend to use it as a way of superiority. You may be thinking well this guy doesn’t know what he is talking about. Literally every generation we have had to right the wrongs that we have had to endure in the past. Anything you bitch about now you have been bitching about for years and have never been the one to change it. You don’t have the power, money, grew up in the right family, bitch, bitch, bitch, moan, moan, moan. The less you tend to complain the more clear headed you are about making decisions for the better. I was once told by a gym teacher, ya, my mentors were pretty big back then. What he said was for some reason, “complaining never got anything done.” Now I may lose readers just off that alone, but just for a second, for the simplicity of that statement just know that I hate it as well. For how simple it is, just the most annoying words ever put together, it almost has a unscented, non flavored ice cream vibe to it. Like 2+2=4 No. Fucking. Shit. What is even worse is 13 years later I am bringing it up on my blog in trying to tell others that an age difference does not justify how you get to act, feel, or react to certain situations when they may be the very thing standing in the way of getting you to where you want to be. Bitch and complain all you like, scream in your pillow, punch your car, get into a fight with a bee hive. Whatever has been told you, that has made you think you are not good enough, or that you can’t be the person you aspire. Just know that they are wrong. They are on the wrong side of evolution to think that they get to decide what you are capable of. Whoever is still telling you these things, no matter the situation you need to get very far away from them. They are on their way down to rock bottom, and if you are in reach they will pull you down with them. Let’s try and be a good influence on people out there. Bangov actual, out..

Get Comfortable With Doubt
Doubt: Feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction.
This is a big one for me. For many of us this may determine whether you go left or right. Do you face your fears, or do you take a minute to just breathe. Take a min to realize you are afraid, and like a bath just soak in the ambiance that it gives off. Makes the room seem cloudy, like you don’t have all the answers you need, or that you think you need right now. It’s OK to feel this way and just know I am glad that you have felt it before. Like taking a cold shower you just have to let your body go through the sensations and be cold so that the body will go through. It’s natural cycle to warm up. Yes doubting yourself is part of the process of moving forward. You will doubt yourself every step of the way. It’s a fear tactic that others use against you when they want you to go a certain way. It is a tactic used by societal norms in order to control what we believe to be “normal.” I would advise always going against societal norms and change it to be for the better. As long as you don’t endanger others around you then all you are doing is disrupting a system that has been disrupted once before. Does not mean you’re a bad or mean person. Just means that people may not understand at first glance that you may want them to be a part of this with you in the event they may find their own pursuit along the way. Disruption breeds creativity, and leads people down paths they may not have intended to go down. Doubt to me is as a fly in the kitchen. It is annoying a few times until you finally have it pinned and kill it with a towel. Think of yourself as the solution and people will determine whether they want to follow or not. Biggest thing you can do is give people the choice and let them decide for themselves. Some will follow, some will be too afraid, just like you were so many times before. So decide now whether you will not be afraid this time, or next time. The choice is yours when you decide that you are worthy for better. Nobody else can make that decision for you, just as nobody else is to blame for the current state you are in. When you decide, because it is your decision to doubt. Take a moment, know that it will pass. Do not make decisions in times of doubt, do not choose to quit, do not choose to give up on what you have worked hard for because it will be there again and again. Day 1-infinity, so it is important for you to know since doubt is inevitable. Why wouldn’t success be the opposite? Go left and give into your fear, or go right and accept your passion for something. Again, you decide. Bangov Actual, out.

Your Empire Is Waiting
My patience with customer service people has increased….OK only a little it, but at least I am not screaming by the end of a 15 min hold anymore. Which in my experience has been happening a lot throughout these last few months. Not only on the phone, but in ordering processing, and I am aware of hold times, shipping, delays of inventory stock. Just a few things that can make days turn into weeks, turn into months. It is quite exhausting when you have a dream. It just never seems fast enough for that dream to come true. This is when you begin to make excuses, and you have to be aware of what you are doing when impatience sets in. I don’t have enough money, don’t have time, don’t know the right people in order for this to work properly. Well you are going to have to roll with the punches in order to be able to get through certain aspects of your pursuit. I had a buddy of mine build a house and holy shit was that a process. Some may say, “well that is not the same thing I am going through, that does not help me with my problem.” Lazy, lazy, lazy. I am not going to tell you every little aspect of what it takes for your dreams to come true because that is your dream not mine. It is your responsibility to know the ins and outs of what it takes to get to each level and beyond. Make every excuse you want, but until you just commit and keep going, no matter how slow or boring in the beginning it may be you will never be able to build momentum in order to make the changes you want to. Back to my story though, building the home was promised in 3-6 months, ended up taking 9 months. With the building itself, right before lumber prices had spiked, that was a set back for money to be asked for. Needing a shed to be built for the water pump because it could not be put underground. He built it himself just FYI. Then winter came and construction had to be halted due to snow. Not to mention all the permits that had to be signed before a well could be put in. I am not familiar with construction projects, but the fact that the state has control over that, BANGOV, but OK I have said my peace. The house ended up being built. With everything he and his wife could dream of for their 2 children on a plot of land to call your own. I am not saying your dreams have to be any certain size, shape, taste or fashion. What I will say is in the end committing to them and going through whatever hell need be to succeed will be worth it to say you did not just accept the life that you were born into. Do not care if you were born into a wealthy family either. They have problems, dreams and aspirations all their own so shut up about people having more money than you, better car, better house. They chased their dreams and are reaping the benefits of hard work and you deserve to do the same. Bangov Actual, out!
