“Cause sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength and just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up. And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.”

– Eminem on “Lose Yourself

As I’m getting older, I’m realizing the importance of mental strength. The ability to motivate yourself, to talk yourself out of a rut, and to get back up after hitting obstacles…all those things require willpower that comes from within. It’s not easy to find it, but if you can you’re unstoppable.

Finding Your Purpose

“Cause sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak
And when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up
But you got to search within you, and try to find that inner strength

No matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face, and collapse”

– Eminem on “Till I Collapse

Where do you go? What do you do? What’s it all for? I find myself asking these questions a lot, and especially this past month. I guess you could say I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching. It seems like I’ve hit a rut in life and things just aren’t going the way I expected. Instead of eventfulness, I’m in stalemate-ness (because that’s a word). I’m used to things really poppin’ off, but these past couple of months have been the opposite. I mean don’t get me wrong, there have been highlights; but without the consistency, everything just feels empty. And when it’s like this, I start asking myself: what’s my purpose?

Whatupppp everyone? What’s goin’ on? It’s ya boy Ajaxxx back at it with the September 2013 Opinions Column. For those that’re new to the site, this is the numero uno spot where you can dig deep within my internal brain tissues (can you get any more nasty) and find out what’s going on with yours truly. Actually the best place for that would be the music, but hey. For those that’re returning to the site, welcome back! And with that outta the way, let’s talk about August…and my attempt to find my purpose.
