Procrastination, Stagnation...

Do you ever feel like you just can't move forward no matter how hard you try? Well that's just the thing, you're not trying hard enough and/or you're not doing something right. Most people who sit around and complain about how boring and miserable their lives are, are the same people who sit around and do nothing about it. They can find the time and energy to complain about it, yet do nothing to change it. Wake the fuck up, get your ass in gear, and do SOMETHING. Anything. Draw, write, laugh, sing, dance, create! Something other than just sitting around being a miserable pile of flesh. You have to find happiness in things, maybe you're passionate about writing poetry; well dedicate some time to that. Even if just reading poetry, it will help guide you in the right direction towards doing something productive with your time. Instead of wasting it away, depressed in bed. People set themselves up for failure. You are responsible for your own success.

I encounter the obstacles of procrastination and laziness quite more often than I'd like to. But the fact that you have the root of the problem pin pointed is already one step forward. "I like to write, but I find myself getting distracted way too easily and never following through with any one idea." Okay, well at least you know what the cause of it is. What are you most distracted by, or what seems to interfere the most when you are trying to do productive things? Although elimination of that specific thing may not be easy, at least knowing the main culprit can help you avoid it a bit more or try to diffuse it before it throws you off the course. The most important thing though, is that you pick yourself back up every time and never give up. Never give up on something you love. Never give up on something that brings you happiness. Never ignore your passions. They are what makes you, you. And I cannot stress enough how important consistency and perseverance are; they are the key fundamentals to any kind of success. So keep those two things in mind, they will most definitely aid you in your journey towards success.
