How do you push yourself?
« on: January 16, 2008, 05:34:02 PM »
How do you motivate yourself to acheive or even complete not only goals but everyday tasks?

I sometimes just end up spending half the day, day-dreaming and the other half planning what i'm going to do but never actually doing it.

Any tips or suggestions, everybody can benefit.

If you were a man, I'd say "get a wife",
she would push you ALL DAY LONG,
but you're not, and, in that case, 
I don't know what to tell you...

Jan Długosz zapisał pod rokiem 1463, że w bitwie nad Sawą bił się Cohors Raczanorum (oddział Raców - Serbów). Po śmierci króla Macieja Korwina Serbowie udali się do Polski, aby kontynuować walkę z Turkami po usarsku."

"The hussar concept began in Serbia, near the end of the 14th century. In the 16th century, painted wings or winged claws began to appear on cavalry shields. Wings were originally attached to the saddle and later to the back. In 1645, Col. Szczodrowski was said to have used ostrich wings.
In 1500, the Polish Treasury books make reference to hussars. Early on, they were foreign mercenaries, and were called Racowie from "Rascia" a word meaning "of Serbia." They came from the Serbian state of Ras."

mmmmmmm.....I am a very serious person, and hard work is in Boer blood, and therefore, combining my values and genetics together, I do it. Besides, if i don't do it, who's going to do it? Also, if i don't, eventually i might end up a useless bum

I am myself very (some would say too much) serious.

I am about to open my own company
of decorative objects, for instance,
which I combine with caricatures drawing,
and, when I am called, book-illustrations...

Whenever I have
some job to do,
I do it "to the bone".

Sometimes its hard Sarah , but like Kelly I have living exspenses I have to meet, and once you are the one with the responsibly you just do it.

Many a day I would love to lay in bed, or vege out on the chair, close the door and forget the world..... oh boy yess........ :) When someone bashes down your day dream and you have tasks to do.

The world never stands still, nor should you, a life time is a very short blink of Histories Eye, make the most of it.

Exactly, plenty of mornings especially when there is 3 feet of snow to shovel off the driveway before i can even get out and its 10 below Id love to pull the covers back over my head and go back to sleep...but when you are the sole person responsible for everything you just do it.

I do not know,sometime I do Aikido at 5 am  few times a week.But were i
live most of the time is nothing to realy push for.Very easy going life in a way.
I am never stres,but If I have problem,and a lots of problems,I am very
motivated and solve them fast,all energy.
I feel we all need problems to move to grow,to became smart,kind,to learn a lot.
Problems make person alive,that energy waiting to move.

Thats probably why I don't get on and do things quickly......I don't have to pay for everything. Though i'm in debt myself, if i want to do an extra class at school I have to pay for it, if i leave a book at home i've got to pay for it. If I don't pay for it on time, I have to pay for being late as well...my cheapskate school. Nothing is free. :)

It will all sort itself out for you Sarah!
My dad gave me some great advice when I was a teenager- Be financially independent.
That has worked out great for me, I never rely on anyone else, only myself, I can always count on myself ;)

Whatever Dexter Lol, you're a genius by nature. The worst that will happen is you'll write a collection of 25 books when you aimed for 30.....and only get one Nobel Prize not two. :)
