Driven: to excel in the face of opposition.
Just had the perfect shirt for this week. Life is incredibly merciless and it will kill you eventually. People have a hard time accepting that homeostasis is us, dead. We have to fight that every day of our lives. 4 eleven hour days in a row with a 5th underway has me feeling this quite a bit. There's no wonder the other technicians I work with do nothing but go to work and go home. There is simply not enough time in the day to work, train, eat, get 8 hours of sleep, and give time to my loved ones. But we come back to the word, driven. It is unacceptable to be any less. I own my life and I choose my destiny. I fight against feeling like a victim and I pray that other people will as well because we can't wait to get better and pursue what we have set eyes on, because time is our only possession that continually escapes us every moment of every day. I've adjusted my training. I've adjusted my marriage. I've adjusted myself. But I adapt and I overcome. You can do the same, or you can die. It is your choice. But I will always choose to be driven
