Thread: Why do I bother?

Just out of curiousity (without meaning to dig/ pry) but how many of you guys on here get the "why do I bother days?"

Whether it's training or social life etc.

I've had two in the past 3 days and just wandering if it's a common occurance amongst fighters/martial artists.

To be fair I get them fairly regularly mate. Certain things do my head in and I just wonder what's the fookin point.
Don't think were alone either, hope not anyway lol.
You've just gotta get your head round it and crack on

Could be interesting if next to any members of the armed forces (wether British or not) we are the only people lol.

Yeah have to agree there otherwise we'd never get ahead in live from that point foreward. I think this phrase kinda gives some logic.

perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim
(Be patient and tough; some day this pain will be useful to you)

Yea just take a moment to yourself and think about where you want to be and just try and get on.
Thats a good saying.
I repeat this one to myself often, short and to the point.
"Fall Down Seven, Get Up Eight"
Kinda says it all...

Aye.
Fair play that saying really does say it all.

Nice thread!

I had this today BIG time! I was sat on the sofa thinking! All tese normal ppl do this all of the time! I was like! man im sore, really foookin sore wats the point i might not even get there!

THEN!... i thought! do it! just do it! why? because for 1:

* makes me feel really good about myself.
*makes me feel confident about my security.
* You know it makes me feel soooo good to be able to knoe i can reaaly hurt someone if they start!
2, 3, 4 ppl i know i can be safe! mat sound sad!
* and i know that everybody else doesnt know wat im capable of! which is an advantage!

But that is what makes me feel safe! on the streets today! i can go out and feel safe!

I used to get bullied! BIG TIME When i was a kid! Sarted training and now! lets see them try it! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lol

Because it separates me from the rest! thats why!!

yeh days have bin had buy every1, and its just because 1single person cant make a change to anyone but themself, so why bother trying if no one else will, do you understand. THE WORLD IS DOOMED, so really why bother?

I think to keep this thread going everybody should share their experiences with the "why do I bother?" moments and how they counteract them.

It's not meant to pry/dig but mearly act as something for someone to read and realise that now matter what they are doing (whether it be with life outside of training or to do with training) when the "why do I bother?" voice creeps it could prove to rally the senses and assist the person in picking themself up, dusting themselves down and really dig in through those moments.

Dunno if everyone agrees but might be an idea if everyone's game.

Game on!

Ive got Interval Training Again on Monday! last week it nearly killed me and im still a little sore... My shins are murkin!

Scared Im going to burn out, and then wont be able to train, I wont say anything to my coaches because Im a warrior and ill work thru pain, But what if i cant even run after it... Just sets me back on the timetable, Which means even more work to catch up!

Any advice on a rapid recovery or advice in general!

feel better now... Hey it works! Good job Kempo!
