Do you ever get the unpleasant sensation of stagnation? You're stalling, you're unable to get going and moving into the stream of things that are good and worthwhile?
Do you ever feel like "If I could just knock all this crap off my To Do list, I'd finally be a better person"?
There are a couple dozen things that I've been meaning to do for quite some time. Just do them and have them done and be able to move forward. Some work stuff, some life stuff, some friends stuff...
But all that happens is I make a new list, check a few items off, and let the others sit there... sit there until I manage to kick my ass into gear again.
Why doesn't my life motivate me enough?
I've been feeling exactly the same way. I always mean to get things done but I never do everything and it almost always takes me a while to motivate myself. I don't know the cause, I suppose I am just a little too lazy, all though I have been improving. A year ago I would have never cleaned up day to day and now I do that.
Just focus on steady improvement. As a mentor of mine once said, "Every journey begins with a single step." You can't expect to change right away but if you work at it slowly, perhaps by accomplishing small tasks on your list and working your way up you can do it. That's just how I approach things.
