Not for me! I worked my way up from a small mobile game studio to one of the top AAA studios in the world in that time. Just gotta apply yourself. And trust me, I'm lazier than you.

That’s amazing to hear! I would be impressed by myself if a single thought could motivate me to actually take action

I’m a student, but sometimes when I procrastinate on work I can realize it and have a thought but still continue with my procrastination regardless

I love this. I personally take a project-based approach to making changes and improvements to my life - which means that I have to press ahead and make a start even when I don't have all the answers - and learn and refine my approach as I go.

Doing something (anything!) to work towards the life you think you want is better than being frozen in fear of getting it wrong - and definitely better than waiting for 'perfect'. If you do something that turned out to be wrong, there will always be some learning you can take from it which will be useful for you in future, so no effort is completely fruitless.

That job that isn't the one you want right now might be the one where you learn something that helps you set up your own business in 5 years time. That person you date now that isn't your 'perfect' dream date may turn out to be someone who becomes a lifelong friend, helps you get your next Job or introduces you to your future partner.

And every time you try something new you'll be growing your self-confidence and proving to yourself that you can take control of your own situation.

The right bunny pulls his carrot from the earth, proudly flaunting his normal-sized carrot. The left bunny pulls and tugs at the small plant sticking up from the soil, but the carrot is so heavy that the leaves tear from the earth. The left bunny falls to the ground and is visibly disappointed. All that work for so few results.

Sometimes a medium amount of tangible success is better than no success at all.
