# Fucking Do Something!

> A note to my future self: when you feel down, skip the self pity. Hit the gym, ride 20 miles, turn off Netflix, and fucking do something. No excuses.

A little bit of life advice to myself for future reference: the next time you're
not feeling great -- feeling lonely, sad, whatever it may be -- just get up and
fucking *do something*.  No excuses.  Want to sit there and feel bad for
yourself?  Grow the fuck up!

Sometimes you've got to be hard with yourself, there's just no getting around
it.

You've got to get up, go to the gym, and lift some heavy ass weights.  You've
got to get on that bike you bought and crush 20 miles or so.  You've got to make
a list of ideas you have that sound like fun, and start working on one of them
until you can't work anymore.

This is just how things go.

There's no way you can ever feel 100% all of the time, but you can certainly try
your best.  Inaction is the worst sort of failure.  It's what weak willed people
do.

"There's too much stuff to do, I can't do anything."

Not with that attitude!

You've got to get out there and give it your absolute fucking best.  Turn off
Netflix.  Turn off Twitter.  All you need to do is get in there and keep
fighting.  Whatever you do, don't give in to those feelings.

We're just huge meat bags full of chemicals after all -- are you going to let
some minor chemical differences in some random region of your brain control your
life?  ARE YOU?  Or are you going to concentrate on what you have to do, and do
it?

That's what I thought.

Now get out there, and be awesome.
