Monday Motivation
The Holistic Journey | October, 23, 2023
Kinda ironic, seeing as how my last letter debunked the calendar huh?
Regardless, I know you need motivation this Monday.
We all do, even your idols don’t wake up every Monday morning excited to work and get after it.
Maybe it because they’re still hung up on what happened last week.
Well guess what? That was last week. None of that matters anymore.
You can’t change what happened last week. The past is the past.
The more time you spend hung up on what happened in the past, the less time you have to:
- Improve yourself in the present
- Find new opportunities for you to pursue
- Gain mental clarity to plan for your future goals
Long story short, what happened in the past — you can’t change. You know this already, but have you embedded the message into your mind?
Have you really come to terms with what you have done in the past, or is it weighing on your like a dog on a leash?
The sooner you release the burden of the past’s events, the sooner you will find the motivation to improve yourself during the present, the sooner your future self will be grateful for the work you’ve done.
Let’s get after it my friends.
Let’s start this new week strong.
Remember why you started.
Until next time…

The Holistic Journey | September 14, 2023 Set your house in perfect order before your criticize the world. | Jordan B. Peterson Throughout my life, I notice that my emotions - my very thought process and identity vary vastly. There are phases in my life where I’m operating at 110%. Phases where I’m fully: Motivated Disciplined Consistent Yet there are the other phases in my life… Which are far more common than my phases of 110%.

The Holistic Journey | September 3, 2023 (sorry for the delay, I've been pretty busy w/ school lately - enjoy) It was 4:00am on a Sunday night. I was sweaty, stressed, and dehydrated. In front of me were stacks of paper, packets upon packets of my homework. I was a mess. For the past 6 hours, I've been cramming knowledge in my brain for one sole purpose. To pass tomorrow's (well technically today's) test. It was at this point sometime around 4:30am that I had enough. I packed up all my...
