Goals+Determination= OHHHH YEAH!!

While I'm waiting for the video I'm watching to finish loading, I'd like to talk about goals.

Well, I'm watching two videos. One by this guy. He's playing a game called Persona 3 and his character scored highest in his class on the exam. And I though to myself "Can anyone do that?"

I realized one doesn't necessarily need to be smart. That's just a title. It's more like, you set a goal, move towards that goal with determination.

For example, my older sister is trying to lose weight. I say trying because she constantly falls back into eating pizza. I guess I can toss the words motivation and self-discipline into the equation.

You see, people can set goals, but do they always reach them?

I wonder if their faith in themselves are as strong as they wish it would be.

But please understand that it's up to you. You have to pull and push to get through it.

It's like with exercise, you can either do it half-heatedly or give it all you got! Personally, I'm the kind of person who does well sometimes because I want to, and don't do well other time because I don't wanna.

So I don't point fingers and say you suck because you can't do it. Because I know the feeling. However, people who may ask me "how is it done?" I can't really tell you because it's up to you to find that strength. You won't believe how some people have asked me to help them with their habit but they fall back into it when I'm gone or away.

It's like "even if I'm here, you have to try to y'know!"

I speak with conviction because I've experienced this many time. Especially in high school. During my sophomore and junior year I slacked off. I was stressed and didn't want to do anything. So I just gave up (it was my choice). But during my last year I thought to myself "I can do this! I'll give it my all" just because I wanted to. And I did. I passed so many test. But it wasn't because I felt like I had to wreck myself to remember anything. It was that determination which made it easier.

I think when a person is truly ready they will bring it and give it their all.

So the next time you feel like you want do something, but you find yourself slacking, stop and ask yourself "do I really want to do this?"

Oh! As for school, I have to register for November. I have high hopes. I really am antsy about taking classes online. But I'll have to because I don't have a way to commute. The only one would be a 2 hour and 45 minute commute. Which is worse than when I went to school downtown.

Anyways, I'm hoping for the best for everyone!
