That's me in the corner, thats me in the spotlight

"You can do anything if you set your mind to it"

For many people I beleive that is true. I beleive I am one of those people. I just can't set my mind to anything. This morning I got out of bed at 11.30. I have a very good mathematical/logical brain, and a good body type under the excess fat. If I had the motivation I really think I could be just about anywhere in the field I enjoy and it would be very easy for me to lose the weight I've always hated and become fit. It's stupid, I spend more effort complaining about not being motivated than getting up and doing something.

I seem to always relate myself to Jude Law's character in Gattaca (Eugene/Jerome). I'm not saying im perfect or anything, but I feel like I could do so much if i only could be bothered.

Yeah i know what you mean. Its about finding something you really love doing I think. I don't know how many people really end up doing what they love, but I think that if you find that thing then the motivation isn't even a question anymore. I'm not sure I've found that thing, but I get glimpses now and again which give me temporary motivation.

Yeh I often feel like that though when i'm doing anything related to my project. Like once i get started reading something I can usually sit there all day and learn about it, and if a problem arises i love to sit there and try to solve it. But just starting the day is a problem. Though maybe i'm not doing what i should be, but then again maybe there isnt something for everybody
