“The chair became a king’s throne
My destiny found me”
– Nas on “You’re Da Man”

It feels like the older we get, the more difficult it is to keep that same level of motivation that we had when we were younger. There was a certain hunger that’s tough to recapture, especially with knowledge. Time comes at a premium and real life creeps up on us. It’s tough. So how then do you maintain the motivation?

Before we jump ahead though, WELCOME. Welcome to the Ajaxxx.com April 2018 Opinions Column. This is the place where I talk about whatever’s on my mind. And in this episode, I wanna spend a little bit of time talking about maintaining motivation, especially as time passes.

“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.

Before getting too ahead of myself, what is up? Welcome to the FIRST Opinions Column of 2018. It feels great.

Thank you for rocking with me and I hope you’re excited for an exciting year. And with that said, let’s talk more about mental strength and why it’s on my mind.

With 2018 in full swing, I wanted to share a video I did about the importance of setting goals (especially for 2018). This isn’t a rap video either lol. In my opinion, if you’re not setting goals you may not have a clear direction and be relying on luck instead. Luck isn’t always a bad thing, but it also means you may not get exactly what you want either. By aiming for something, you have a place to reach. And even if you don’t reach that place, you still will have come mad far.

I also wanted to share my 5 goals for 2018. Let’s help each other accomplish these goals we set for ourselves!

So tell me…what are your goals for 2018?

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

Sometimes I lose focus or get sidetracked. I don’t know why or how it happens, but it does. Maybe it’s people I’m around or maybe it’s just human nature, I don’t know. All I know is, from time to time I need inspiration to pick me back up…and maybe you do too. And so, I put together some tips for inspiration.

Before I get into alllll that though, I’d like to welcome you to the Ajaxxx.com Opinions Column. Whatup everyone! Welcome, welcome. If you’re new to the site, this is the place where I talk about my life and tell you what’s going on. If you’re returning, welcome BACK…you already know the deals. And with the formalities now behind us, let’s get right into it.

So July is my birthday month. And every year, right around this time, I do some self reflection and ask myself if I’ve progressed far enough in life. If I haven’t, I ask myself why not. Lately, I’ve just felt a bit blah…like I’ve been unmotivated and uninspired. Today, I listened to some songs that helped lift me up and raised my spirits. And after that, I really started thinking about being in a rut and what needs to be done to get out of one. I wrote some ideas down and figured I’d share because it might help you too. So here goes…my top ten tips for inspiration.
