Push!!! Even When it Really Hurts! (Day #10 January 19, 2013)

We all would like to think that we try and give most things our best all the time, or even some of the time. Things such as tests, relationships, workouts and everyday life happenings, but the truth is, most of us don't and others could do a lot more than what we are doing now. My life saying and quotation, which my mom has been telling me since I was a kid is "Tomorrow is a New Day!" There is so much to this saying its indescribable...because everyday IS a New Day and Beginning for each and every one of us. Haven't you gotten out of bed or gone to bed thinking "Tomorrow is a New Day?" We all have! It's incredible what the human mind is capable of with just a little push, confidence and determination. Ask people such as Jared Leto (singer of 30 seconds to mars and who is also a famous actor. Leto grew up extremely poor with other siblings along side him, but look where HIS push, drive and determination got him!! To the TOP!! As there are multiple others who also made their way to the top of the world of success by having these things as well. It's not so much the idea of materialistic wealth, but rather succession of your own determination. The place YOU want to be! Your idea of success!! You just gotta PUSH even when it HURTS!!!  

Today was an awesome day today here in Denver, Colorado! I think it almost hit 60 degrees today for the high. But then again for us in January, we could possibly get up to 80 degrees. Colorado's weather is like that, it fluctuates a lot!! One day it will be below zero, like last week, and the next day it's in the 50's. Nothing to complain about, but people can definitely be getting sick from the alteration from hot to cold very easily if you're not careful. I for one got sick already and just about everyone I know has gotten sick as well, except my hunny bunny, love muffin, sugar bear, sweetie pie. And she is the one who is ALWAYS getting sick too!! haha. So I am getting over my sickness and wanted to start my incline to success with my fights i'll be having this year and wanted to kick it off by going for a run today. I did and it was a success, but I haven't ran in over a month, so it was hard and painful haha. I wanted to stop a few times because my lungs were on fire, no thanks to the cough I had and brown stuff I was coughing up while I was sick, which I also coughed a little up while running, my legs started burning, but I did NOT quit one time and kept pushing and pushing. I ran about 3 1/2 miles or a little over. The last part is up hill when I return back to my apartment complex and it was tough!! That's when I wanted to stop the most, but that's also where I put ALL my energy and push into!! I ran/sprinted up the damn hill and made it my personal B*%&$!!! It felt GREAT!!! The whole rest of my day has been filled with good feelings and healthy thoughts haha. I love running (only because it lets me know Im in shape and keeps me there because otherwise I absolutely hate it!!) and working out period. The pain let's me know I'm ALIVE!!! The muscle burn, lung burn, throbbing and ache, it's all awesome in its own unique way of expressions. This is another reason why I love Muay Thai Kick boxing and Jiu Jitsu/Wrestling. Because they help keep my mind calm, potential to it's maximum and health at its strongest. Not to mention my discipline, self respect (as well as to others), awareness and determination as well. Hopefully other people can find the physical activity or mental activity that does this for them too. But for me...there is nothing like Muay Thai, it has forever changed my life for the betterment of being. 

Another passion of mine is Philosophy, which we all know coordinates with EVERYTHING imaginable. I would like to think my love for both Muay Thai and Philosophy not only help support each other and play a role as one, but that they will help affect my teaching career and goals as well. I want to change learning in new developmental ways and help students reach areas of knowledge they didn't even know was possible. I want them to learn in ways that I was never taught and could have helped me as a young adolescent who never had the 'right' guidance in school. I would like to think, or feel, that new ways of approach for and towards students is not only on teachers, but on everyone surrounding the school systems, which is pretty much everyone, because everyone (mostly) has someone in their family who is in school, or some sort of educational setting. All people can help contribute!! But yes we all know that teachers are the main teachers of students, but we must always be thinking of ways to educate. This is where my philosophy comes in. How can they learn more about a book. What can they take away from this assignment and which part do I think is more valuable and should stick longer or forever with them etc...
