Article 5: Get Large

Me and my older brother have a saying and it’s really not remarkable but it fucking works and it has a deep meaning behind it. Whenever something occurs that has the potential to knock me off my path or get significantly in my way, a few years ago I started saying “Get Large” and going to the gym as a blatant coping mechanism but over time I’ve found it to be genius.

As soon as something negative happens you can immediately redirect focus to yourself and who you wish to become by going to the gym and becoming large, immediate attention refocus onto yourself and your ascent, we’ve now said it so much as a joke and it’s carried me through so much bullshit it’s engraved into my soul. Get large.

In life when we are aiming to produce great things, aiming to change the world us via transforming ourselves, when we are aiming to take on large tasks that have many moving parts and when we are taking the most responsibility to go on a heroic quest that we rationally do not need to do, but we are deeply pulled by an inner vision that we are meant for more, we are meant to follow the more ambitious path, we are meant to exhaust ourselves in the pursuit of a vision that only we can see there will be times where our identity is pressured, harassed and bullied by the world because we relentlessly step forwards, we relentlessly choose to bring ourselves into the harshest conditions, it is imperative we have cathartic forces physically to lean into so we can emotionally continue to wage war on the universe and squeeze the fabric of space time for what you want.
