Your girl is at the biggest crossroad of her life to date! I was planning on finding a second job to help keep me "Comfortable!" Get ahead on a few things financially and have a good savings! But, every time I look for something or go in for an interview, I get this feeling like I am not suppose to be doing this! Funny, right, I am trying to get on top of things and it doesn't feel right! Then, while I was at work yesterday, it hit me! I have a job, I have an apartment, and my job gives me just enough to barely squeeze by! Tiff, use your time to train! Not to pick up a second job! I was planning to start training again for boxing and singing in a couple months after I had made things a lil bit easier for myself, but that is just not how life works now is it! Ha ha!
It's going to definitely try me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually! Its also saying alright Tiff, this is how much you believe in yourself, you are giving yourself the opportunity to fall on your face or exceed everyone's expectations! (Including your own!) Yes!!! This is what I have been waiting for! A chance to be backed into a corner, to show that there is no keeping me in there for long!
Not only will I be sacrificing financially, I will be giving up my social life completely! I have been told on countless occassions that that makes me certifiable! Ha ha! But, they don't get it! I will sacrifice for a few years tops to get things going and create the best life for my family and myself possible! To achieve my dreams and show myself that I can do what I set out to do! I can party and date later, girl is still just a pup and has plenty of time ha ha! It's all about priorities and right now that is God, my Faith, and making a better life for my family and I! My real friends will understand and will stick by me, so I don't have to worry about that!
I have been asked on a few occassions, how do you stay so motivated!? It's not easy, staying motivated is like staying clean! You can't just take a shower and be good for the rest of your life! You have to take one everyday! The same goes with being motivated! You have to work on it everyday! Growing up as a football coaches kid and athlete has helped! I am very competitive and am very driven! Trust me, there was a period of my life when I wasn't motivated and didn't care about anything or anyone! I was bitter about my failures and took it out on everyone but myself! I made excuses and some of them were legit! Then, something that my dad had constantly taught us, finally sank in! Regardless of the situation or the other people involved, it is my responsibilty to get things done! Let me give you a sports example! My dad constantly told us, if you come home and complain about the ref's, you are done playing sports! I didn't get why he said that at first, then it clicked! Don't blame the ref's for how you are playing or for the score being what it is! Take responsibility for your actions and step up your game! The ref and his calls or lack of them are just another obstacle, so what are you gonna do about it!? You can bi#$@ about it or you can step it up and out play them! Same goes in life! There is always gonna be something or someone that is gonna get in your way. You can either be a Mary about it and wallow in self pity (PATHETIC!!) or you can step it up and find a way around it! It's not always gonna be easy, in fact it will be hard, but that is how life is suppose to be! We live in this society of I want it now, oh but you can just give it to me because I don't want to do anything to earn it or work for it! WRONG!! You don't want to put in the work, you sure as hell don't deserve the outcome! YOU CAN'T WAKE UP A ROOKIE AND GO TO BED A CHAMPION! YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE WORK! ~ TIFFANY LARSON I live my life by that everyday! So stop being a lazy ass and get to work! Don't want too, fine, but don't complain about not having what you want out of life, because nobody is just gonna hand you what you want on a silver platter! Besides, even if that could happen, you would be missing out on the best part! A sense of accomplishment! The feeling you get when you have succeeded and you get to look back and be so proud of putting in all that HARD work and sacrifice to get to where you are at! In the words of my boy Nelly, "If HARD work pays off then EASY work is WORTHLESS!!" Get up and do something! In the words of my Grandpa Clark (May he rest in peace) "Unless you are on your death bed, get your ass out of bed and do something! Even then, get your ass out of bed and do something!" Hated hearing it then, but love to say it now!!
It's the beginning of a new chapter and baby girl is so excited! Its a beautiful thing baby! Its a beautiful thing!!
