I try to and I do in most cases. It's the first step that counts the rest follow. I wasnt really over happy to get a job knowing i'd have to wake up every morning, but after that, it's cool and you get attached to people and you can even feel love. Im still smoking too much and eating like a pig. Everything on its time ! |

I can't acctually figure it out.. You only need a composer to make a song, the lyrics are there already. |

Ha ha, quality. Anon: You need to get off your arse and do the stuff you want to in life. It doesn't just "happen" to you. Some of my mates are now in their mid twenties and have achieved absolutely fuck-all bar racking up debts (and they openly admit this; it's not just my observation) and it's not even like they enjoyed the time spent being wasters. I'm not saying you have to get a 9-5 and go to night class to better yourself, but decide what it is you want out of life and do it. Making things you want to happen is usually nowhere near as hard as you imagine once you actually start them. |

Well, for me it was very important to stop gettin' stoned as soon as I woke up. With a sober mind you will feel more able to take action. But I don't know what the hell you smoke... My Marihuana is now just for the end of a hard day! And it's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog! |

Go and look at people who are older than you and wasted their life this way when they were your age. It's a good incentive/mental picture to have to spur you on every time you feel like giving up. I know people who at thirty who are just leaving college and starting their career now. I know BLiar wants us all to work till we're 70, but I'm fucked if I am. If you leave it late before you start work proper, you won't have any other option. I think a problem with modern society is that there's too much of a safety net. Sure it should be there for people who genuinely need it, but it unfortunately forms a comfort trap for a lot of people who don't need it and breeds indolence. |

Quate: In the words of the ancients, one should make his decisions within the space of seven breaths. Lord Takanobu said, "If discrimination is long, it will spoil." Lord Naoshige said, "When matters are done leisurely, seven out of ten will turn out badly. A warrior is a person who does things quickly." When your mind is going hither and thither, discrimination will never be brought to a conclusion. With an intense, fresh and undelaying spirit, one will make his judgments within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break right through to the other side. |

My dad completely wasted his life due to drugs etc but i haven't seen him in ten years.I think i should try and find him...I think meeting him would make me determined not to be like that... But then i think maybe that'd be too much to handle...Meeting him. -A- |

Yes, I agree with that mentality. Whilst you certainly shouldn't rush into things completely unconsidered, it's often better to get started and make the wrong decision, rather than deliberate for hours. At least that way, you have narrowed the options down and will have a better idea of the right thing to do. If you've seen the film "Touching the Void" (if you've not, hire it; it's great), there's a line in that that sums it up, "In a situation like that you've got to keep making decisions, or else you'll die. You've got to make decisions, even if they're the wrong ones." |

There's a great philosopher who also wrote some music, he was well ahead of his time. I think his words fit best here. The great Kenny Loggins: Revvin' up your engine Listen to her howlin' roar Metal under tension Beggin' you to touch and go Highway to the Danger Zone Ride into the Danger Zone Headin' into twilight Spreadin' out her wings tonight She got you jumpin' off the track And shovin' into overdrive Highway to the Danger Zone I'll take you Right into the Danger Zone You'll never say hello to you Until you get it on the red line overload You'll never know what you can do Until you get it up as high as you can go Out along the edges Always where I burn to be The further on the edge The hotter the intensity Highway to the Danger Zone Gonna take you Right into the Danger Zone Highway to the Danger Zone |

i think of it this way - the moment you set out on changing yourself, the moment things start changing. it really is as simple as getting off your as and doing what you know you need to do. nothing is going to happen unless you put yourself there to make it happen. it's a perpetual thing, i believe. once you start making progress in your life, it's hard to revert back to the stagnance from before. however, it is important to rest and give yourself credit. maybe start out with something simple? i mean, you are not going to turn your life around in a day, a week, or a month, maybe not even a year. but if you start with something small, maybe walking a couple blocks a day and eating salad instead of a hamburger, for example, you have started and are on your way. |

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I always set myself targets and tell myself what I want to do/happen and it very rarely ever does. I just start making excuses for myself so I don't have to get the stuff done that I wanted to do. I think maybe it's partly down to my goals being unrealistic. For example, not giving myself enough time to reach my targets. I often know exactly what I want my end result to be, and I have ideas of how I want to get there, but I think the key to being successful, is doing what somejerk said, and making realistic goals and taking it slow. Don't expect sudden transformations or it will all seem too daunting. |

you don't do it because you rrememberr that it's too much like harrd worrk, and once you've done it all you'rre still going to be unhappy in yourrself and that anyway you'rre just going to die in the end. |

there's always someone who just can't understand what you're talking about. i have similar tendencies, but on one hand i have a skill for subtle manipulation of events and on the other i am married to someone who is in many ways the opposite and she tends to bring out the more active elements of my personality. but how do you advise someone to find self discipline, beyond saying "get off your arse and do something"? first off, try to identify what's supporting the bad habits. too much weed? try killing your internet service for a month or two. if you really want to change, you might find it happening to you sooner than you think. |
