I can´t hold this in anymore.

Why thank you, have a kick-ass life too. (damn that should replace good bye, instead of saying goodbye you can say have a kick-ass day). Sorry to go off topic but hey its a good Idea.

I agree totally.

Have a kick ass day!

Have a Kick-Ass day too!

 

[Nannernade]

Just wondering: what position are you in that gives you the ability to watch and judge people?

Rereading, that sounds a little threating, but I'm just interested!

 

[flyingviking]

I joined the forums so I could say thank you. This was just what I needed. Hope you have an awesome day.

Thank you, that means a lot. And welcome to the Escapist!

I am in no position to judge people. That is not my goal, nor my intention. I just felt the need to make a contribution to brighten up the day, as I have seen a troubling increasing trend regarding young people and bad self-esteem.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Have a truly kick-ass day.

This is for you.

Yes you, the young man/woman who are going through life. You, the main protagonist in your own, awesome story; your life.

This is for you.

I am not a heavy contributor on the Escapist. Hell, I am not a heavy contributor on any public forums, on the internet or in real life. I silently watch other people make up their opinions, discuss, scream and tear at each other. I gather facts for myself, and through time, if I see the need, I make a contribution in hope that it will make things better. This is one of them. And it is for you.

I watch young people, such as myself, battle their way through life, meeting obstacle upon obstacle, complaining, crying, looking down upon one self. Thinking worse about one self and letting destructive thoughts take control of your life, because you could not overcome one specific obstacle, or achieve one specific goal.

Well.

Life is hard. No doubt about it. But you are not doing anyone a favor by thinking that you suck, or that you are letting yourself down or anyone around you. The obstacles and challenges you meet in life forms you, and they are there for a reason. If you think everything is against you and life is to random, well, it isn´t.

Every challenge you meet, tests your character. It tests your will. And if you break, you do not lose. You experience. You learn. You form. You become stronger, wiser and tougher. You win in a whole different realm; your own personal development. Hard-learned experience is hard to come by, and when the shit hits the fan, you should be grateful. Because it makes you a more badass person. And because you are the most awesome person in your life, and everything life throws at you, you can beat. Even if it does not seem like that at the moment.

If you fail, you learn, and you beat that shit the next time. You will, I absolutely guarantee it.

Meeting, adapting and overcoming challenges is what life is all about. You will win at it. Because that´s what you are; a stubborn, strong-willed, mad-as-a-f***** winner. You beat the 10 million other sperm cells so that you could be awesome and win at life. Don´t give up when life starts to test you. Pick up your shit and start fighting. Beat that f***er.

If what I have said makes a difference to just one person, then this day just got a whole lot more awesome.

Have a great day, and a kick-ass life.

in all honesty i needed that today so hells yeah you have a kick ass day too

Considering I've been living the worst 3 years of my life with everyone in my family turning against each other and I'm still in one piece,knowing that I'm in the middle of it,trying to get everyone to cool down,taking a few sucker punches in the process,shows that I'm already doing that.
Every challenge before me will be bulldozed,one way or the other.The only thing I can,and MUST do is learn how to do better next time.

 

[Funkiest Monkey]

Funnily enough, this relates to something I went through recently. Everything was fine, but then everything around me started to change, and it felt like life was raining shit on me.

"Oh no! I suck! I'm worthless!", is what I thought. Just because a couple of dicks had it out for me, and made it feel like my world was caving in around me.

But one day, I just said, "Hey, fuck you! I'll do what the fuck I want, when I want, and I don't give a flying shit about you guys". And, ta-da! I was back to normal, an insane asshole with a motor-mouth. And I love it.

So yes, I eventually broke under pressure, but I've came back doubly strong, and learned from the experience.

[sub]However, this just landed me in deeper shit with one of the people. He's almost a black-belt in karate and is likely to kick my ass. But still, I just laugh in his face and tell him to go fuck himself whenever possible.[/sub]

EDIT: Have a kick-ass day yourself!

Martial arts is fairly useless in a street fight unless you do what Bruce Lee did and actually start fights on the street for many years in your child hood so that you can learn how to actually use martial arts properly in a street fight. I'm guessing that guy hasn't done that.

Just go batshit and charge him if he attacks you. He'll be too busy getting into a kung fu pose or something.

To be honest, he is a bit of a self-righteous prick. And I definitely have the height and weight advantage over him (he's short and skinny).

And go batshit and charge him? That is exactly my fighting style, haha.

 

[khaimera]

Well that was embarrassing for all involved.

Let's just try and forget it.

My thoughts exactly.

The intention was good but it ends up feeling awkward, forced, and self-righteous.

Motivational speaking is kind of a joke. If it wasn't we could all just take this advice and live happily ever after, which we won't.

*Raises glass.*
A TOAST TO KICK ASSESRY!

I already learned this as a kid, don't fear failure [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYUM7h4SVsA&feature=related].

 

[Krafty_Krocodile]

I saw the title and thought "they are just going to say *poops self*" other then that Thanks and i hope your life kicks more ass then an ass kicking ass lol

 

[Flamezdudes]

You win 5000 internets. And a cookie.

Spoiler

But seriously, good speech.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

I don't feel any better :/ thanks for trying though.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

I thoroughly resist all forms of motivational speaking and writing, but your little speech up there didn't make me want to kill anything. Congratulations, I guess.

 

[Slash Dementia]

A very nice, inspiring post.
It's nice to see a forum post like this one once in a while.

Though it didn't change my perspective on life much, it did make me smile, so for that, I thank you.
Have a great day and "kick-ass" life, as well.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

For some reason I feel like sayin "Fuck You".
And i've even given you the finger while reading this stuff.
Huh.
Maybe I'm a little to aggressive. Oh well, no harm done.
Edit: I get it: I really fucking hate motivational speeches. If it's right before going off to slaughter a whole bunch of people in battle and die, then it's ok. If done right. Otherwise, it makes me rage.
