How do you motivate yourself?

[Thsnnor]

I watch G.I. Jane or the documentary on the Navy Seals. Just like life it is so easy to ring that bell. Tired of the stuff being thrown at you at work... ring the bell. People getting on your last nerve cause you are starting to shine... ring the bell. Are things really that bad enough to make you want to say "I've had it"... ring the bell. I suggest before you ring the bell go to a Soup Kitchen, a homeless shelter, a city mission or even under the local bridges in your closest downtown area.

Not everyone in those situations rang the bell and I know there are vets who were given up on after giving their 2 pints of blood for this country. There are others whose situations are definitely beyond their control but you are not there to look at the them. You are there to look at those who rang the bell.

Life is what you make of it and I'd rather be middle class looking at a sunset and be happy then living my life finding out first hand why those with money are the most unhappiest people in the world.

So you'd marry someone knowing full well you plan on being a man hoe?

What kinda dumb ass question is that

God put man on earth to conquer, you think he left vagina out of that equation ???

And @ marriage. Ain't no rich nikka marrying you. He'll squeeze off in you a couple times, hit you with a , then keep it moving.

 

[↓R↑LYB]

Let's be reality a lot of women are delusional thinking a rich mans gonna scoop them up lol most don't even have that option unless they're super attractive amazing body full package. Rich men can get whoever they like if he knows his marrying an airhead best believe he is picking a bad one

That's the hilarious part. These broads really be overestimating their worth. They really think out of the billions of bytches on this planet, they're the ones with the magical p*ssy to lock a nikka down

Goals.

There is a balance between being nice and being trampled all over. Look for the balance and you're going to get trampled all over before you find the balance.

I'm super lazy so it hard to be motivated

 

[Turbulent]

i get a lot of satisfaction from executing a plan i designed myself. it's like i think of the fact that my will became reality. kinda makes you feel powerful.

when it's smaller mundane things that i don't feel like doing, i try to figure out a way to relate it to the bigger plan as a smaller piece of the puzzle.

EDIT: at least that's what i try to do. i can feel like i'm in a blah mood like anyone else from time to time.

2. No one ever got anywhere by being nice. People do not respect nice people. It is reality. The sooner you apply this principle to your life the farther you will get. And I don't mean be a bytch. I mean NEVER compromise EVER.
.

Terrible piece of advice, if I may.

This is so wrong its unreal....... This is a dumb myth perpetuated by people who lack scruples or morals ......If anyone honestly thinks they cant get ahead by being a decent human being they will learn the hard way...

Life is about compromise....we compromise every damn day...theres no Coke in the store you buy a goddam Pepsi or Sprite ..... You think Obama became president without compromising on a lot of his ideals?

no disrespect miss.

Indeed, we all make compromises all the time, and those who act like they don't want to have led us to this intolerant "me me me" society we are in now.

Judging by your posts on here @Ms.CuriousCat I highly doubt you have the option of being a rich mans trophy wife lol so u should stay motivated knowing that ain't an option

Let's be realistic here you don't have the model looks to be a trophy wife. So u better work cos no mans gonna give u nothing

Nah I have a girlfriend don't need ur pics lol or want em but yh you don't have the supermodel looks so just be realistic with urself

Be nice Uncle Theraflu.

Thanks. That's like the absolute opposite of me, I hate asking for help, especially money which is why I can't even picture getting it from a husband. Nothing comes for free comes to mind so even on a project I don't ask when the person would have been more than willing. Not good.

But I'm not shy, not at all. I just find it exhausting being around too many people for too long. A good time for me, is being completely alone with no human interaction for a few hours.

And I hate conflict so I look for compromises, I don't like aggression and negativity, it makes me anxious.



I am a lost case, we're like polar opposites LOL

Well you aren't going to get anywhere trying to fight the good fight alone. If someone is willing to help take it. Money is not the only form of help. Conflict and compromise have nothing to do with one another. Compromising in the context of knowing what you want and standing up for it; not as in conflict resolution.

Awful advice. Don't lead this innocent girl down a demonic path.

I disagree with this all the way, If u a nice person just try to surround yaself with other nice people. Everybody is not a pitbull and most people that think they are pitbulls are weak ass fakkits.

My advice would be to try avoiding negative people altogether. (unless it's work, school, or jail) then u have to play the game because 9 times out of 10 you will encounter some bullshyt in those places. But don't let negativity fukk up ya positivity...it takes a special type of person to overcome the bullshyt with a positive attitude. Negative outlooks breed negative energy, try to be on some monk shyt and make peace with yourself and learn to not let people bother you or disturb your peace. Perhaps even look into positive/relaxing meditation practices.

Terrible piece of advice, if I may.

God damn! Do any of you understand the idea of context? The woman asked about her goals. We are talking about GOALS. The statements where made in reference to her goals and being motivated. shyt. I swear to God you people are slow. The lack of prospective in this place can be so shocking.

Being on my deathbed and realizing that my life was mediocre at best is all the motivation I need....
