loI i was quoting Albert Einstein.. sorry you suck at pokemon 🫤

But what to do if life pulling backward only shit but a lot? Make lemonade?

I relate totally. I don’t have any true words of wisdom other than to say I relate. It’s frustrating and something that always feels like an internal fight. I generally make lists of what ‘needs to be done’ and those days without any motivation I try to force myself to focus or appreciate getting some ‘small things’ accomplished. When lack of motivation hits, any accomplishments can be be big to you and it’s ok to treat small things like accomplishments when you feel like it’s all you can do. At least that’s my take.

Motivation is easy*, that's just doing what you want/ avoiding what you don't want. Not getting destroyed by a threat is pretty good motivation.

Discipline is a skill that you have to learn and practice. It's all about doing the things you don't want to do. That's hard when your primary motivators have historically been "don't die, don't get attacked, don't be poor, don't live on the street" etc, stuff like that.

You said you give things up after a month (presumably when you lose motivation)? Make it last 6 weeks. You don't start tasks until 2 weeks out? Make yourself start 3 weeks out.

Build the skill. Train it like a muscle. Start earlier, stay longer, push harder.

And give it time; progress is incremental not instant. If you're already succeeding, that's a pretty good foundation to start from. Now just get better at it.

*I don't mean getting motivated is easy, I just mean it's easy to do the things we want to do when we want to do them.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. A lot easier to nurse potential when you're not doing 12 hours in the warehouse to get by.

Thats not true. You can improve at anything.

You need to put more time and attention to what you are doing according to your limitations. Thats where good teachers and coaches come into play.

Its rarely a race. Often its a marathon.

What is happening in this picture 😂

Replace inaction with 12 hour shift.

No they wouldn't. The only thing I accomplished is staying alive.

it is not called insanity.

it is not my fault that there are almost zero STRAIGHTFORWARD videos and articles on the internet on how to make good teams in competitive pokemon.

I have only watched exactly one video that was actually straightforward.

Remind me of something with a pony figure

I believe that's called insanity

this picture is confusing. Took me time to get it.

Happiness is expectations minus reality

Shouldn’t the y axis be goal and the x axis time?

...... am i some sort of railgun bow mutation or why does it take so long

But it needs to expend copious amounts of precious fuel.

I think maybe it means. When life pulls you back… make sure you focus on your aim throughout all that tension. After all… what good is movement without direction ? … also homeless people have mental health issues usually so that’s sad and another story as well .

I agree and I think "reality" encapsulates all of that.

If you keep relying on analogies your going to be disappointed. This is just copium.

Yeah. Op assumes I'm an arrow. What if I'm a grenade? Life is legit killing people by launching me forward.

Never heard of Wu Wei, eh?
