BD Wong Instagram – LISTEN UP. Today I was supposed to work out & could barely tear myself outta bed. Who knows why but I do know I’m bummed out about stuff I THINK I can’t control. I signed up to work on the campaign of the presidential candidate I’m behind, & my first trip was cancelled in light of recent events. I had to FORCE myself to go for my regular run. I run across the Brooklyn Bridge three X a week schedule permitting. I was late for my training appointment with @robmorea at @greatjonesfitness but I forced myself to stay & lift myself, which is rare. The endorphins kicked in & now I’m myself again. I got my haircut & buzzed most of it off for the rest of the summer. I walked away with a new outlook. If you don’t like a situation you’re in right now, then you owe it to yourself to fight like hell to change it. It’s simple as that. Many of us, maybe most of us, were taught that fighting’s unpleasant, that it’s ugly, wrong. But name me a figure you love in all of history who’s fight for what she believed in wasn’t heroic or didn’t inspire you; wasn’t RIGHT. Many have momentarily forgotten that there’s a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE between fighting for your life & fighting dirty – you need not fight dirty to win, BUT YOU MUST FIGHT. We’re above fighting dirty so we fail, yes FAIL, to FIGHT AT ALL. I think the ACCEPTANCE of that failure is as unconscionable, as egregious, as that thing we so desperately need to vanquish. I’m no great voice, no great leader, but I’m telling you: Go out there, put on your grown up pants, & dammit if you aren’t fighting EVERY MOMENT for what you believe in, if you’re in bed on your phone complaining about how things are, then you’lll have no one to blame in the end when you don’t get what you want. Look at your team. Assess your strengths. Are you on a team dedicated to justice, a team that holds justice in it’s beating heart, a team that will put goodness before self serving interests? Does your team have what it takes to prevail? You bet your terrified ass it does. Stop talking about your supposed weakness. Play to your POWER. The FIGHT is as much yours to win as anybody’s. FLIP YOUR MIND RIGHT TF NOW BITCHES. STAND TF UP. Put me in, coach. | Posted on 16/Jul/2024 04:41:41
