Buddhist monks asked the regime to lift its ban on flying the traditional Buddhist flag, to grant Buddhism the same rights as Catholicism, to stop detaining Buddhists and to give Buddhist monks and nuns the right to practice and spread their religion. While burning Thich Quang Duc never moved a muscle.
The state of mind he must be in to achieve this makes me think and motivates me.

On another note, On May 11, it will be 5 years since Major Douglas Zembiec " The Lion of Fallujah" (1973-2007) was killed. Died in action during operation Iraqi Freedom.
His words and way of life are true inspiration for me. I live by this quote (from his diary):
"Be a man of principle. Fight for what you believe in. Keep your word. Live with integrity. Be brave. Believe in something bigger than yourself. Serve your country. Teach. Mentor. Give something back to society. Lead from the front. Conquer your fears. Be a good friend. Be humble and be self-confident. Appreciate your friends and family. Be a leader and not a follower. Be valorous on the field of battle. And take responsibility for your actions. Never forget those that were killed. And never let rest those that killed them."
"your men have to follow your orders, they don't have to go yo your funeral"
Be sure to light a candle for this great man to keep his memory alive.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly.

this little piece of inspiration right here comes straight from a little thing i like to call my brain:
if everything in the universe is uncertain, know that theres one thing that will ALWAYS stand true-
You have absolutely nothing to lose.

This video chronicles my journey of transforming my body and my life through changing my mind-state, my diet and my exercise habits . I just wanted to share a very personal transformational journey of mine from fat to fit. I hope that I can serve to inspire you to never quit on yourself and believe in yourself. If you like what I created, please share this video with others. It took me a lot to share this with the world, I think that many people will benefit from learning about my journey and applying it to their lives.
Thanks so much,

I can't stand the people that put their hands on the bar. It's my set not your set so keep your damn hands off the bar. If I can't get it up that's my problem.

“Procrastination most often arises from a sense that there is too much to do, and hence no single aspect of the to-do worth doing. . . . Underneath this rather antic form of action-as-inaction is the much more unsettling question whether anything is worth doing at all.” Mark Kingwell
