Thought Update

Hello everybody!

Sorry I have not updated in awhile but what with No Rooz (First day of Spring), getting sick and the final haul in school I have been quite busy. For this Post I wanna talk about self motivation. I'll be honest, it is probably the hardest thing in the world. To me there is no such thing as something that is impossible. People that say certain things are impossible just view that certain goal as too much investment of time of either time or effort to be of any value.

Perfect example of this is me during the past week. I have had quite a full plate for the past 7 days and I will be honest, it is hard for me to get up and do anything. Take school for example. I am finding extremely difficult to not only get studying done, but to even care about the end result. It is not the subjects that I am learning, I love all the subjects that I am taking. I love learnind in general. It seems to be the mundane and completely robotic atmosphere that I seem to be exposed to every week. By no means am I blaming anyone or anything to my lack of drive as of late. My Profs are great and so are my classmates. I do not however enjoy the bureaucratic game of jumping through hoops for my University. The more I am in University the more it seems like that piece of paper that I will get at the end of my studies is more important than any sort of actual knowledge.

I am wondering whether deep down this is effecting my drive. Maybe I am wrong. Most likely I am reading way too much into my state of being. In fact it doesn't even matter whether I am right or not. The fact is when all is said and done only thing counts.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU PUSH YOURSELF!

It's about rising to meet the challenge. There comes a point when doing anything where you hit a brick wall and you have nothing but a hammer in your hand to knock it down. I guess this is where that old saying

"Patience is a virtue"

Comes in.

In any case what I am trying to say is that YOU are your greatest ally and biggest foe all at the same time. So knowing this, which one are you going to choose?
