David breaks down his thought process behind the writing of “Emotional Fuel-03-Michael Jordon- Ordinary vs Extraordinary”. What is it that makes Michael Jordan one of, if not the, greatest athlete that has ever lived? Is it something he was born with? Or is there something that we can all learn from him that could make us much better at everything we do?
My path had some twisting curves and broken pieces. It wasn’t always straight and narrow. Sometimes, it meandered through fields I later deemed “not right for me”. Sometimes, it went into neighborhoods that I wasn’t welcome in. Sometimes, it was overrun with obstacles that needed clearing long before I could get to the next brick in the road.
David talks about why he started the Emotional Fuel series and what was the thought process behind this first post in the series. Why the quote from Sophocles? What the hell does Dorian Yates have to do with anything? Take a trip into the mind of David Johnston, it’s a scary place to be.
David introduces our ‘new’ series, Emotional Fire. David takes a look back at his year long Emotional Fuel series and reveals what was going through his mind when he originally wrote them, and what has changed since then. We would love to hear your thoughts on these as well. Let us know how each one inspired you or pissed you off.
Should you spend it worrying about a fact that you know is inevitable? Should your precious moments and seconds and minutes and hours be caught up in a neuroticism that consumes you and dictates how you will and will not live your life? Or will you choose to face it, to control it, to tame it and own it?
I don’t understand “rules”. I mean, I understand rules of the universe, like gravity, or cause and effect; but I never understood “the rules” that I was expected to play by, the “rules of man” so to speak. I like to view them more as suggestions, and then test them, and break them, with a condescending grin.
I know that in many regards I’m a pretty odd duck, so some of the things I find motivational might be “off the beaten path”. But I’ll do my best to deliver the honest-to-goodness spirit of what drives me further. Hopefully it will help you in your own quest.
