Don't LET UP !!!

 Don't LET UP !!!

🎉Life is a grind.  And that means NOT grinding to a halt.  It's a long, treacherous trek with a high mortality rate and there's just NO LET UP.

For those who achieve milestone successes, it's the same mantra in life, there's just NO LET UP.  Kampai's left and right is fine but it has to be controlled, managed and restrained.  Not a drinking spree.  Not an overnight overflowing of booze.  [Sounds familiar?  Yes, just look around your community.  Folks celebrating like they hit the top lotto prize reaching hundreds of millions.

This is the life we live, a life of smoke and mirrors.  Things are fuzzy.  Images are blurred.  Silhouettes are sketchy at best.  And the mother of all tricks in life are those smoke and mirrors.  You will get waylaid.  You'll end up with the wrong turns.  You'll find yourself overshooting inter-state highways [that explains why long haul driving in the U.S. would necessitate a navigator with you].

Bottomline is, leave those yesterdays behind. Especially those yesterdays when you stumbled, when you fell flat on your face.  Just look ahead down the road, that's where you need to be glued to.

For those who hit some milestone successes, enough of one or two kampai's.  This is what we would hear over and over again, "getting drunk with success".  Unfortunately, that truism can be taken at its face value because literally, a lot of us are guilty because we end up drunk with booze, only to realize when you recover come late next morning that you gotta grind some more, that after all, you didn't hit the lotto jackpot !%}#?  Nyet anyway.

For those with misses, with foul-ups, it's never the end of the tunnel.  Just don't give up.  Surely it sounds a fallacy but we all feel giving up after a darn miss, even a near miss. But let those moments of frustrations pass through.  You'll get over it.  And you'll be fine.

For those leading the pack, that's no time to be cocky, not the time to let up as well because right behind your heels are dogs catching up on you.  And while it's tough maintaining your pole position, it's tougher catching up from behind.  Ask F1 champion Lewi Hamilton.  The choice option is a no brainer.

Yesireee, don't get me wrong, I ain't say that celebrations are a no-no.  Yes you can.  Yes you should BUT just stop by this cork board which screams "UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE CELEBRATE EVERYTHING".  

Hold on to that event organizer, that catering service.  Hold on to that champagne before you uncork it.  Hold on to the fires before roasting and feasting on tender meat alongside booze.

Remember, the best is yet to come and there are much more beautiful things out there in the horizon.  For now, don't feel bad if I'll frankly advise you that you deserve popcorns for now.  Go, grab that popcorn for now.😁
