Yo, yo, yo!
I’ll let you in on a secret.
When I start these articles, I often don’t know where I’m going with them or how they will come out. I just become the topic and start writing. It’s as if I’m watching myself work. That is how you know you have found your purpose, when you are damn near having an out of body experience and you are just kind of watching yourself be a fucking BEAST!
And with that said…Let’s go to work!
As I have said once before, Batman is my dude, though I am learning I may be more like Venom than Batman, but I’ll save that for another day. When Batman is needed, he is summoned by a signal. This signal shines high in the sky at night with a symbol of a large bat that also lets people know that he’s out there with them, lurking, observing, and watching. When Batman sees this signal, he knows it’s time to go to work.
Not once. Not ever in the history of Batman’s greatness, have I ever seen Commissioner Gordon summon Batman, and he be like, “ Gotdamn it! What the hell they want now!” Or “Mannn…I ain’t going, I don’t feel good” or “Fuck Me! Matter fact, I’ll just get to it after I finish beating these guts in real quick.” Not…ever. Not…never. He springs to action, every time, whenever they need him, whenever the city of Gotham puts that bat in the sky, he’s there. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
I’ve said all of this…to say this.
Your negative emotions are your Bat signal.
Feeling depressed? Bat signal. Feeling lazy? Bat signal. Feeling sad, tired, restless, bored, anxious, SCARED…Fucking Bat signal. And what does Batman do when he sees this bat signal, does he complain, does he mope, does he too become negative? Nope! He suits the fuck up and goes to fucking work! And this is what you must do as well.
At times, you must fight (meaning fight how you feel). Other times, you must become a detective (meaning you will have to investigate what the hell is wrong with you and act accordingly). You must lead (as in keep all those tribes of emotions in check). You must be responsible (meaning regardless of how you feel, you must do what is right). And at all times, protect Gotham (as in protect your purpose).
So… next time you see that Bat in the sky.
Do not cry about it. Do not pout about it. Do not complain about it.
Just shut up, suit up… and go to fuckin Work.
