POINTS DO NOT MAKE ME SMILE
Picture this... you are on an all-inclusive cruise liner. Beautiful international women of all races bounce across the deck pool topless with cocktails in hand as music thumps your ears. Beers cocktails and smiles flow worry free while you freely taken the scenic pictures of sun, breasts, and tan lines. Close friends, sun kissed skin abound. Now picture the ship has sank, much like the Titanic. Tragically you are stuck in the middle of predator infested waters but last you heard from the Captain before the ship submerged, the Coast Guard assured the crew they would be in rout in 10-15 min.
Now I'm not a betting man; no, I have never ever been stuck in the ocean with beautiful topless international women (my fingers are crossed though). My point is... I bet the majority of people that heard the message from Captain would find it in themselves to make it the 15 minutes had they been assured that's all they had to do. The flip side of the coin is you don't know when help is coming at all. There is just you, and your will to survive. Along with drunken topless women, who breast bob in the ocean like buoys. If you knew you had to survive and that was all. In your most primal instinct to survive, how long could you really stay out there for?

FIGHTING MAKES ME SMILE
Do you remember what it is that truly makes you happy in life? That thing that makes you smile that uncontrollable smile that is impossible to contain? The thing that consumes your thoughts to obsession like levels. The feeling of improving and sharpening the performance of whatever it may be, only fuels your drive to make it that much sharper. Mechanics build the gasoline devouring, rubber melting, horsepower kings. Hours spent tinkering in the garage, all to achieve that smile of satisfaction. Just as doctors spend their hours researching and learning in the hopes of being able to apply the knowledge they have retained to the patient that challenges the doctor’s skill, knowledge, and application. I bet that doctor or mechanic knows the same feeling like I do. They just haven’t been broadcast on T.V. or wear a shirt that boldly states, "surgery makes me smile" or "horsepower makes my spirit happy."
It’s all mental
I can’t believe how many times I have heard this but I guess since everyone says, it’s gotta be true right? I remember the fight I felt the mental click. I remember watching Spencer Fisher vs. Sam Stout 2 and wondering how can you be so happy to knowing there is a possibility you may get wrecked... and my rationalization was it was Spencer just didn’t give a shit. You are either prepared or you’re not. If you are, then it’s like that smart kid that sat in front of class. He already knows the answers to all the questions he is just waiting on the test to start.
