Todays Goal: Suck it up
I was laying in bed this morning listening to my breathing trying to tell if their was a slight wheeze in the exhale or if I was just exhausted from the Yoga Power Hour that ended at 9pm last night. As I lay there contemplating my own mortality all the current issues that I am facing came rushing into my consciousness. How much longer am I gonna stick it out at the full commission job? Is the next company gonna offer me what I am asking for? Are the Dbacks gonna be able to repeat without Valverde?
So I did what everyone should always do when facing such a depressing stage so early in the day: I called mom. The fact that it is also Valentines Day was a good enough excuse as well. We talked a bit and the topic turned to a friend of mine who is really in trouble and unfortunately its not the first time. Mom, being mom, became upset that he cant take responsibility for his own actions and I agreed that this was the clear issue.
So as I read through todays news-feeds I naturally came across this whole Clemens mess (he has lost the right to the first name which I have the power to do so suck it):
The real fun to be had, though, is from the political pundit folk, who actually watch C-SPAN all the time. They’ve gleefully awarded Clemens the Best Testimonial Trainwreck award for 2008. They call out this great pretzel quote, about Andy Pettitte:
“Once again, Mr. Congressman, I think [Pettitte] misremembers the conversation that we had. Andy and I’s relationship was close enough to know that if I would have known that he had done HGH, which I now know, if he was knowingly knowing that I had taken HGH, we would have talked about the subject. He’d have come to me to ask me about the effects of it.”
: Deadspin
This is clearly a man who is in denial and cannot find any of the blame on himself. Hell he even throws his wife under the bus.
Todays goal is to take responsibility for everything that happens to you because ultimitely its your choice to be where you are and doing what you are doing. So suck it up and quit passing the blame.
