Amor Fati- Love of one's fate

I really like this concept of Neitzche's; I am trying to internalize it.

I am a very martial person; I choose fights, and because of that, I often find myself spread thin.

Frustration, fatigue, anger, disgust. These are the trappings of such a path.

It is who I am, though, so instead of letting it run me, or trying to bottle it all up until it gets misdirected, I've been going for acceptance here lately.

I am a fighter. Fights are sweaty, dirty, bloody affairs. I must learn to find satisfaction in these conditions.

At the very least they are indicative of me being true to myself; proof that I am progressing down my path of choice.

Some days I am more successful at this than others...it helps to articulate it all.

Amor Fati is the most any of us can do.

I can’t control what happens to me but I can control how I perceive it.

It’s not easy or always realistic. But we have to do the best we can.

@VampireQueen indeed.

Our perception is all we really have control of in this world; the beginning and end of any and all leverage we could hope to achieve.
