Good Monday!
I thought I would start things off right this week and light a little fire under your ass or rather throw some fuel on that fire as you shouldn’t need others to start your fire… You should have that baby burning HOT deep within side you already!
So, one of my favorite movies of all time is Full Metal Jacket.
At one time I could honestly quote word-for-word just about every line out of that movie and I know some of my good friends can vouch for that as I used to quote those lines all the time! LOL.
If you haven’t seen the movie, Full Metal Jacket, I highly recommend you see it as it’s a great flick and there really are some good lessons that you can pull from it plus, it’s quite entertaining.
But, be warned… it has a ton of filthy language and racial slander in it plus other vulgar stuff, so if you’re easily offended, skip it…
Now, why am I bringing up this movie? Well, I feel that everyone should have their own personal “Sargent Gunnery Hartman”… You know the crazy ass drill Sargent from the beginning of the movie…

Now this may be motivating to you, entertaining, or just nothing more then TV BS, but I feel it can be useful as well as carry some mental power behind it.
You see, as I mentioned above, we should all have our own personal Sargent Gunnery Hartman in our head speaking to us in certain situations…
- When you feel like you want to quit…
- When you feel lazy and unmotivated…
- When you’re scared…
- When you PUSS Out…
- When you really NEED IT…
This type of motivation will be different for everyone and no one person will be the same.
For me, when times get tough or I find myself in a hard situation whether that be in a training session or in life, I always have a voice in the back of my head telling me, “Don’t be a PUSSY”.
You see, I’m not sure if you ever read one of my first blog posts, but when I was younger I can remember when I went to one of my first National Wrestling Tournaments. To make a long story short, I got my ass handed to me because, well YES, I was in fact a HUGE PUSSY!
I can remember on the drive home overhearing a conversation between my dad and his friend and his friend telling my dad the reason I kept losing… It was because, “I was a PUSSY!”
Ever since that day, when I’m in a tough situation, I play that quote in my head and I remember the promise I made myself from that day to NEVER be considered a “pussy” again and to always BUST my ass no matter what the situation.
That voice in my head is my own personal “Sargent Gunnery Hartman”…
What type of voice do YOU have? Do YOU have a personal Sargent Gunnery Hartman? Weed out the “NONE HACKER” within your head…
I want to hear about it and I want to hear your thoughts and feedback on this one! “Don’t be a pussy” and post up in the comments!
