I Quit...
Hello everyone. This is your thamizh back on this blog page after a long time. It's kinda weird for me to show up again after this long gap as I have been fully occupied with my academics and other works regarding my higher studies. I wanted to take my self-improvement journey to the next level. So I just wanted to have some personal space and started to observe things around me. I have learned a lot within this period. People seem to be more concerned about their fear of the future as it starts to kick in. I could notice that trait even with the people who used to be enjoying 24/7 without any accountability towards their lives.
All these days most us of spend our time watching Netflix and Hotstar or randomly worrying about our past relationships or the things that we can't take control of. Recently, I started to admire the traits of a man who turned his mind to be the toughest man on earth. I have always strongly believed in discipline rather than motivation, Because for me it has helped me a lot to become my better version.
But I couldn't be on that track consistently. I worked my ass off on things but eventually failed, I have been in the gym for hours trying to drain my energy. It started to become my way of escaping reality. No more small victories in my life made sense. That's where things started to mess up. The more emotional I became the more illogical decisions I made.
I always wanted to earn money to manage my expenses during my teenage and I did earn a lot with multiple productive modes but, it kinda went wrong. I went desperate to earn more money and it broke my peace of mind. I just lost my purpose to earn. Initially, I wanted to earn some money as a side income just to take care of myself and that too earned it from doing the job related to my passion.
when everything went off for me. Still, I stayed strong and that's where I started analyzing things. More than just being disciplined it takes a lot to armor your mindset on your purpose. without stronger minds, we can't find satisfaction in our work. That's where this book came in handy written by David Goggins. The name of the book is "Can't Hurt Me".
David Goggins was a person who was fat and always bullied by his fellow classmates because of his skin. He is one of the few members to pass the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/s) training to join the US Navy Seal. He has been through hell week which is basically a training session where the candidates are pushed to reach the potential capabilities of the human body.
The candidates can quit at any point in time as they can walk through the exit door. There was no direct rejection by the officials. the officials will make you feel hell within your body to make you quit. This kinda of physical abuse is undergone by the soldiers to become a navy seal.
Goggins was one of the few men who survived the hell week after failing twice previously. he showed up again with a broken knee and armored mind to start things again. His fear of water made him far away from achieving his dream. He was feared of failing. he just started to love the pain to strengthen his mind.
He was tortured by his examiner in that training field. His body was utterly injured but he chose to handle those things with a smile on his face which destroyed the ego of the official who examined him. He not only completed this hell week but, has also been the best component of the whole week. He wanted to be the badass who was the best among them.
From his story, I learned that I need to armor my mind by doing things that are uncomfortable for me to armor my mind. So I decided to restart things with a different perspective. It's always the one who tries again with experience. So this is the part where I am gonna quit being lazy, Quit seeking perfection but rather rely on progression, and most importantly gonna quit forgetting my purpose of work. See you all shortly, until then this is your thamizh, signing off...
Peace❤
