Is there a word for...

... the feeling of fighting through the odds? ... the feeling of running through a thousand arrows and dodging every single one? ... the feeling of swimming upstream when the current pulls you back with a deadly force? ... the feeling of singing at the top of your longs just to hit the right note, with the right feeling?... the feeling of clenching and wringing out the guitar neck just to be able to get that right twang, to literally feel the music?


"Perseverance"  seems like an adequate word, but that doesn't feel entirely right.
"Panache" seems like a better word... or the closest I guess I can get.


Coz when your back's against the wall, that's how it feels like.

The Sweet Spot

I've noticed there's an interesting cost in being too focused on a specific goal for yourself.  On the other hand, there's also an interesting cost in not being focused enough. 

I'm not talking about the clear consequences of each, that is either you achieve the goal or not.  While that could be the case, there's an even more subtle struggle.

Generally speaking, if you are too focused on a specific self-oriented goal, you may become blinded and insensitive towards other people's feelings.  And if you are not focused enough, then you aren't effectively helping yourself achieve your own goals.

There's a sweet spot.  A most effective, charitable, to yourself and others, sweet spot. 

I call it bass therapy

Plug in my ears to this remix... perfect.

Nothing beats a deep bass line with a rhythmic hi-hat that cuts right through. Ecstasy.

Rehabilitation

If the time permits, it's certainly a worthwhile use of time to spend a few moments in a state where, although much was different before, the strengths of that particular state taught a principal admonition that would be useful to the success of the state of events taking place now.

To take bits and pieces of the entire, both objective and subjective, human experience into perspective at any given moment of time, to cater specifically to the particular events taking place now... oh... how great indeed.

5:41 am

I am so tired.  Up early for school.  Why must I live through this drudgery? Sorry about ranting.  I'm just so tired.  I just want to lie in my bed and sleep.

Not the most motivating of my blogs, I know.  But I'm sleep deprived.

Btw, finals are in about 2-weeks.  This is equivalent to the 2-minute warning in sports.
