"I'm at the top of my game!"
The Habit of Ferocity

"I'm at the top of my game!"

Imagine this: you're watching youtube, playing Minecraft, and procrastinating to your heart's discontent on things that are irrelevant. This is not that hard to imagine. It is the norm nowadays to hear this in student life. We've come to expect it. 
 Well, what if we expected something different from ourselves? What if we stopped engaging in the habit of inferiority and started the habit of ferocity?
 I've become disinterested in consuming youtube content without purpose, learning, and remembering (since I watch informational videos). I've become sick of the tediousness that is Minecraft (when it doesn't serve my purpose). I've had a taste of the pleasure of power, an ecstatic power over yourself, and remarkable confidence. Procrastination is a distant proclamation, no longer do I make reparations because of my lackadaisicalness. 
 I'm at the top of my game! Mind you, to give all the credit to the Habit of Ferocity would be discrediting some significant other factors: the small things I learned throughout my days, my thinking and contemplations, the people around me that support me, the people around me that give me a cold dose of change. All of these things played a part, and a major part that was played was the Quest. So, thank you for that.
