Your motivation has to come from within yourself. Dig down into that place inside yourself, that place nobody knows about........and drive the fuck on! Never look back.....that's just waste behind you.

Yep, you've got to dig way down deep inside and tap wells of perseverence that you were unaware that you had. You have to burn pain into those muscles to push. When you can't push no more, you have to keep going as if you have the same amount of strength and energy as if you had just started.

Drive on Jester.

The secret is...you gotta get fired up by sick shit. You gotta' get fired up about being wet and cold. You gotta' get fired up about being tired and hungry. You just gotta' be fired up and feed off the pain and suffering around you.

That is the secret. Use their failure to stoke your own fire. Everytime somebody quits, you should be re-energized. I'm sorry to hear that they didn't make the cut, but you'll end up in the same sack as them, if you don't turn this into something positive. Be an animal and survive.
Thanks for the report.

Congrats jester.

When you spend time around people you get use to them and become friends. Some people can do things that others cant, for what ever reason. Thats when you have to realize that you have to think about your own future and what you want out of it. You made it, they didn't, what ever you do don't let it get you down because y'all aren't together anymore.

Embrace the suck and run with it, it's your friend indeed!! :twisted:

when you see someone quit, and the look in their face, the look of failure, the look of giving up, make it your mission to never have that look on your face, to never feel what they're feeling.....

Jester, listen to SB and EP's posts. They encompass what all of us thought when we were in your shoes.

DON'T EVER QUIT!
