Every morning, we gather here to contemplate, plan, soak up inspiration, harvest motivation, and get jacked up on coffee and confidence for a day of kicking ass.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU ALL. I AM FIRED UP TODAY. WHY? BECAUSE IT’S THURSDAY JANUARY 26 WHICH MAKES TOMORROW FRIDAY AND FRIDAYS RULE. WE DID IT. WE SURVIVED THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK AND HAVE ENTERED THE HOMESTRETCH ON OUR WAY TO WEEKEND BLISS. CURRENTLY I HAVE THE INTERSTELLAR SOUNDTRACK COMPOSED BY THE GREAT HANS ZIMMER TURNED UP TO MAXIMUM VOLUME DOING PERMANENT DAMAGE TO MY EARDRUMS AND PREPARING MY MIND FOR ANOTHER DAY OF GLORIOUS LIFE. WHO THE SHIT LISTENS TO THE INTERSTELLAR SOUNDTRACK AS A MEANS OF MOTIVATION? WINNERS. I’M ALL IN ON SOUNDTRACKS AND I BET A BUFFALO NICKEL THAT IF YOU GAVE THE SOUNDTRACK LIFE A SHOT YOU’D BE ALL IN TOO. OTHER SOUNDTRACKS TO PLAY AND IMPROVE YOUR DAY INCLUDE THE LION KING, ALADDIN, JURASSIC PARK, INCEPTION, THE DARK KNIGHT AND REALLY ANYTHING HANS ZIMMER HAS PUT HIS MAGICAL GERMAN HANDS ON. JOHN WILLIAMS ALSO ROCKS OUT OBVIOUSLY.
Today, we’re going to talk about the news. Keeping up with current events is obviously a good thing. It’s important to be educated on what’s going on around the world. But is there a line? Of course there is.
Just like you can have too much coffee, you can have too much news. Right now, in particular, it’s easy to get swept up in the day-to-day drama that makes up the 24-hour news cycle. However, becoming obsessed with this shit can result in socially unacceptable behavior like posting a political Facebook status or lighting your neighbor’s house on fire because he has different views than you.
Toe the line.
If you put too much focus on the seemingly negative hell hole that is the outside world, you lose all personal perspective and really diminish your chances at improving your own quality of life. Is that selfish? Shit no. By all means, do your thing to make sure you leave this planet at least a little better than you found it, but if you spend all day harping on the world’s major issues like war, famine, our first orange president, the potential for nuclear holocaust, and all that shit, you’re going to lose your damn mind.
Try living your life a little bit less like Walter and a little more like The Dude.
What’s on the schedule this morning? What are you going to conquer today? Let us know in the comments section below. Positivity only. Build the energy. Come correct or don’t come at all. Take her easy..

DO YOU GUYS NEED SOMEONE WITH A FINANCE AND VALUATION BACKGROUND TO HELP GET THE COMPANY MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR MORE FUNDING?
I had 32 oz. of sugarfree Redbull at the office yesterday. Currently on my first 16 ouncer. Going for a new personal best.
WELL, I WOKE UP TODAY
I WOKE UP EARLY AND WATCHED THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN BEFORE GOING TO MY FAVORITE COFFEE SPOT WHERE I ASKED FOR AN EXTRA SHOT OF ESPRESSO. NOT BECAUSE I NEEDED IT, BUT JUST BECAUSE I WANTED TO FEEL SOMETHING.

Is the no caps thing because you crash from your ask caps coffee rampage. If so pour yourself a refill.
I DID DEADLIFTS THIS MORNING AND JUST PUT BACK COLD BREW SWING ON ME
Applying for new job…if you rest you rust.
Wuss poppin’ playboy? Working third shift so I just had my “last two hours of the work day” cup of coffee. Today is my Friday so after sleeping all day, I’ll probably try and convince friends to go out and get drunk because I am on a vampire schedule. Give ’em hell today, Bill.
You are the salt of the earth.
During the day at work I usually roll with the Game of Thrones soundtrack station on Pandora. Get all the great soundtracks from movies like LOTR, Harry Potter, Interstellar and they even throw in some dope tracks from like Assassin’s Creed and Skyworld. Very nice to work to.
Pro move I fucking love it.
Glad I’m not the only one who rocks the soundtracks life. Hans Zimmer is a total boss, personal fave is always Pirates
Pirates is another classic. I definitely keep that in the rotation.
That one also comes up a lot on my GOT station.
I listen to “Light of the Seven” all the damn time.
THIS IS THICC
I’m done with class at 10:15. After that in going to go home and clean. clear space clear mind.
Yeah…. the coffee wore off before I got home.
You know what, make it a large. Time to dominate this Thursday. I actually have nothing scheduled today but who cares.
Right here, this is how big things happen to people.
Lord of the rings also has an A+ soundtrack. Anyways, about to crush some coffee with a side of emails for breakfast, then get in early for a conference call at 9. Should be a fun morning.
Speaking of great soundtracks your picture reminded me that Top Gun has a great one. If you don’t feel like crushing shit when Danger Zone comes on then you’re not American.
Enya has the voice of an angel. The songs she sang on there are undeniable classics.
