Good...

Good.

That's the most influential word to me currently.

Didn't get the job you wanted? Good.

Didn't get the newest best technology you thought you needed? Good.

Got injured? Good.

Because if you can still say or even think the word "good", you're still alive. Now you have an opportunity to learn. To prove that you can do without that thing or person. This is another change to level up. You now have another opportunity to change things. Another chance to not BLAME someone else. This is your chance to be someone that someone else can look up to. Set the fucking example. "Get up, dust off, recalibrate, reengage, & set out on the attack."

I've failed yet again at my diet, and my own self discipline. Still fighting the issues with eating disorders and self image bullshit that I'VE ALLOWED to plague me since the other kids in school deemed me "a fat piece of shit".

Good. I have another chance to fix this slip up. Another chance to still help the people that matter most to me. 

I'm still here.
