Being to only think that stops you
I'm nowhere to, what i could be. I seem to take the easy way. Cause everything came easy for me. I fail to reach my own goals. Purely cause i don't wanna reach them, I'm my own worst enemy and i don't even know if i should hate it or love it. The fear for myself is my nightmare, the fact that i know that nothing can stop me but i will be stopped by myself. Its not that i don't reach nothing, its actually just school. I can go to the gym 3 times a week, to reach my goals of gaining muscle. Its just that i go there 1-1,5 hours late. And it's not like I'm spending it on anything useful. Just waste things like browsing the Internet, phone, or just watching a commercial add on TV. I'm the worst person when it comes to time management. I'm so often late, for anything. I just can't motivate myself. This is the reason why i failed my first year of my final 4 years of school and i actually fear the same thing happening all over again with another course.
So as the newbee on the forums, i wish to ask the following questions:
- I'm i a spoiled child who isn't ready to for the real world?
- Do you know the thing i descriped?
- Should i quite school and just work till I'm ready for a final education. Where i can reach high grades and actually be asked by company's cause I'm talented and hard working. Instead of just be average and reaching things barely.
Forwards thanks

Re: Being to only think that stops you
A lot of people have iusses like this, but you've identified & admitted the problem and that means you're a millionth of the way to solving it.
Look for the indirect causes of your problems. Why not just avoid using the internet or TV before a couple of hours before you're due to do anything? Try to develop good habits. Hang around with people who are positive influences. That sort of thing.
Or alternately, ignore all of that and abuse amphetamine based drugs.

Re: Being to only think that stops you
I have a similar problem related to my education. I will be more or less without a computer for the next three weeks when I start at uni, and I am hoping that this will make me develop good habits.
However I know that even if I do develop good habits, I will blow it all away once I get an internet connection again.

Re: Being to only think that stops you
you might also just be lying to yourself with regards to this "potential" to sweeten the constant failure and the total nothingness!

Re: Being to only think that stops you
SA forums (just reading not posting) will be the death of me, they have lead to many late nights. However not on important occasions, as I'm not that daft.
Frankly a lot of motivational problems boil down to a lack of any set goals or things to do, in both the short and long term. Thus, when I have nothing to do I tend to do nothing, when maybe I should be persuing a hobby (like doing something with the website I've had for 2 years and still done nothing with). However, when I have to get up (like for playing squash at 8.40am) I make sure I'm in bed and can do it.
Beyond that I don't know.
If you really want something you'll make it happen.

Re: Being to only think that stops you
Great, now Dace/S|K how would you like to have the sherlock of the year award. Yes i ain't English and yes i have used the spelling check. Also dyslexia+a foreign language will give the above result.
For the others thanks for the reply.
Ill try to find indirect things that migth cause the problem.
internet is a sure part of that, and i guess i dont need linkin park as it is a part of the problem not the solution. (Nothingness is also clicking on a new Mp3 every 3,5 min.)
What jerome said, ill think on it.

I thought nothingness was a small town in southern wyoming to be honest.

Hello, me.
There's really nothing to do but kick yourself in the butt and get on with it. Identifying the problem and expecting other people doesn't help when the actual solution is pretty simple and has been used by large corporations to advertise their children-made sportswear: just do it. Until you decide that you've had enough slacking and stop it (yes, it actually is that simple), nothing in the world will make you stop procrastinating.

Re: Being to only think that stops you
The day you understand and really feel that you're actually rather lucky with the position you've got compared to the rough shit you could have been in is the day that you might stop acting like a faggot and start actively improving your already decent life.
