what do you think you were born to do? I always wonder what my calling really is. It seems creativity is my main talent, but many ideas i have might not be profitable at all... others would cost far to much to ever figure it out they would work out.
So why do I have such a hard time just testing out and working on my ideas? I come home have time think i will work after dinner, but no I just watch a movie or TV and I get nothing done... then I wake up and I am like shit I wasted another day.... So how do you motivate yourself on the things you care about... when your content... I mean when your upset about a situation it is easy to motivate yourself to change it, but when your well enough and content, it is hard to motivate yourself to push through and work harder...
What motivates you?

Motivation is very tricky - I've been thinking alot about the very same thing lately. I think you won't change your situation until you're unhappy with it. It seems like you already are somewhat unhappy since you think you "wasted another day"...so motivation will come when you've hit your breaking point of enough wasted days.
It also seems to help me if I'm accountable to someone on stuff - ie. i tell myself I want to go work out, but I tend not to unless I schedule a time to work out with someone else.
Anyway, I have free time so let's come up with a good idea and do it together...

i amm convinced that i am inteded to fuck things up for everyone around me and myself. Everything would probably be better if i became a hermit. Some people might be upset at first but then they would realize that everything would be easier for them if just forgot me...

Mr/Mrs. Not Important,
It seems you are fairly upset. I am sure your friends and family dont feel the same about you. Most of the time even friends you dont talk to that often and your family still rely on you more than you think. Just knowing your available to talk to them even if you dont talk to them often helps.
I am sure you dont screw everything up but if you feel that you screw many things up perhaps look into why you screw them up and try to change whatever causes it. IE. I screw things up cause I am always high.... well stop getting high... some such thing like that perhaps.
anyways best of luck to you.

i am motivated by women. it seems plain and simple like that, but i'm not so sure it is. i am motivated to do things to make others care about me. the happiest moments of my life have been when i've got my arms wrapped around a girl in complete and utter silence. we don't have to say a word to eachother because we both care about the other. lately however things haven't been going so well and it seems my lot in life is to shit on. fuck people. all of them!!

wow I guess this post struck a nerve with some people... hehe
I agree that laying with your arms around someone and no use for words is the closest thing to capturing ultimate happiness. The thing is happiness can't exist as a moment in time it always has to exist with time in motion.
I think any two people could find a way to create a perfect moment between them, but it is surviving and still wanting to be with a person during all the moments that you hate something about them. (They way they store your ketchup for instance... hehe)
I also think to many people in a okay relationship just try to create as many of the perfect moments as often as possible and avoid anything that causes any conflict... I think this just put off the issue and in any relationship conflict will occur and it is better to know you can deal with it and still want to be with that person... otherwise you will tear each other apart when you have kids.
what has been going so ruff for you lately Dave?
