Ultimatum

Heihachi Mishima: King of Iron Fist

Lately, I've put a lot of thought into the things around me.  I have set physical fitness goals and academic goals, etc.  There are times when I doubt my ability to keep up with all the standards that have been set up.  To be honest, I wondered if I even made the right choices.

Amidst this uncertainty, my mood became somewhat affected; hence, I talk to people in ward to alleviate and help me put those concerns in the back burner.

Self-esteem and confidence are funny things.  I'm sure most of us are not satisfied with our appearance or even our status in life.  They make us depressed and depreciate motivation levels altogether.

After pondering the subject for quite some time, I felt inadequate because of the way I am.  I simply did not meet my full potential.  Before the self-pity started, I remembered the "Yao Ming face" (the "screw that" attitude).

Honestly, I don't care.  I do what I want and hope to achieve the best.  I want to be as fit as Heihachi Mishima even into my old age.  I want to look young and be successful in my own terms.  All those while I maintain my integrity in the Gospel.

In the path to eternal progression, it's not a matter of "if", but what matters is "when".  I may not like how flimsy my body is right now or even where I am at in my academic career (can you say 10 more years of school?).  I'll work on it until I get it.

The Lord may give use the "ummph" to get there, but we still need to put forth the effort.
