The '4D' in my screen name stands for 'Drive', 'Dedication', 'Determination', and 'Discipline'. These words were my mantras when I worked out on my own or during practice for the many sports I played in highschool. When I needed that extra kick-in-the-pants of self-motivation to get to the top of that last hill, or to make it up just one more flight of stairs, or to make it across that imaginary finish-line that somehow kept getting further and further away; no matter how close I got to it these words repeating over and over in my head gave me the emotional, mental, and physical push I desperately needed to fulfill my goal, at the time I needed it the most.

I now find myself many years removed from those energetic days of Highschool. I find myself searching and longing to find that voice inside of me again which fed my body and spirit to victory so many times before. It's there, but it's buried.

I want to push myself again, challenge the man I see in the mirror to cross the finish line. I want to feel the drug of satisfaction, self-pride, and accomplishment that comes from pushing myself further than I knew I was capable of.

It's time for me to take back control of my life and shed the layers of lethargy, gluttony, laziness, and procrastination that I now wear like articles of clothing. I know anything less than 'extreme', 'going big', or BRINGING IT right now will only result in failure for me. I was once a motivator and leader to those around me.... I want to be, no, I will be that again.
