So You Wanna Change

Let me guess. You’re either-

1. Fat
2. Poor
3. Aimless
4. Depressed (self-diagnosed of course, that meme you saw was so relatable).
5. Having the concentration span of a goldfish.

If you’re here, at least 4 of these apply to you (I’m not fat). And you wanna change (no shit). Listen kid, change ain’t that easy. If it were that easy, everyone would “change” and suddenly change won’t be as cool. Let’s look at some of the things that are easy –

1. Sleeping more than 8 hours a day
2. Complaining
3. Procrastinating all day
4. Getting angry over small things

When was the last time you saw someone who slept less than 6 hours a day regularly and was unsuccessful? Or lay in bed all day making shit-tons of money looking at cat pictures? Like I said (or more like like everybody says) –

Change ain’t easy

Okay so if I were you I would be wondering ‘Yeah Mr. WiseGuy we know that. But still you don’t see us changing, why is that?’

That is because when you finally make an effort to change, you try to change every fucking thing you don’t like. One day suddenly you decide to wake up at 4 A.M, meditate, study for 10 hours straight, get more ripped than Zac Efron in Baywatch, go to Mars… All at once.

See the thing about change is that it’s something everybody wants but nobody likes. The only way you’ll change is if you take baby steps (unless of course your willpower was forged in the volcano of Mordor). Commit to small changes, like regularly making your bed whenever you wake up,  meditating for 5 minutes everyday before you go to bed, doing just 10 push-ups everyday, whatever you like. You commit to one change, you get comfortable, you feel good about yourself, and you change a little again. It keeps piling up and voilà – you are already a much better version of yourself.

This brings us to our next problem – Patience. You can’t just become the next Mr.Hey-Look-At-Me-I’m-Ripped in a day. It takes time, years of hardwork (unless of course you decide to go juice). Don’t get disheartened if you can’t shoot 5 straight 3-pointers after only one week of practice. The most important rule, and I can’t stress it enough, is that

He that can have patience can have what he will

-(another famous dude)

Don’t try to build your Rome in a day, instead make long term plans. Like going to drum lessons everyday for a year before quitting. Or sweating in the gym everyday for atleast a year before you go on blaming your genes for robbing you of all the mad gainz you should have had by now. This is probably the hardest part when trying to change, and that is committing to change. Peace.

 

 

…Another Same Old Blog, Start of A New Journey, Blah-Blah-Blah.

You are young. You are filled with energy and want to achieve something. You want to change the world.

Well you ain’t gonna get any help from me.

This is another one of your average run-of-the-mill blogs. So what makes it different?

Nothing

I’m just gonna come here once a while, rant about something utterly nonsense, and you’re still gonna read it. Why? Because you’re bored, you’re procrastinating and still looking for that magical piece of writing that is gonna make you get off your ass and do something already. Well, first things first, any motivation you get from here (which I highly doubt) or any other place like The Most Popular Ted Talks of All Time or Top Motivational Quotes doesn’t last long. Some famous dude once said –

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.

So hey – at least we figured out something. The key is to procrastinate EVERYDAY and look for motivational quotes and blogs by filthy rich people.

Let’s get one thing straight – motivation alone is not the key. The key is to keep pushing through when you are not motivated. Easier said than done.

Looks like we strayed a little off topic. This first article was just a general introduction of what to expect. I’ll be posting articles on random topics regularly. Random topics will not include Hollywood Gossip, Political Scandals, and reviews of Cosmopolitan. I will talk a lot about Motivation, Technology, Game Reviews and other fun stuff. This first article will also be a milestone for me because I finally got of my ass and did something I wanted to do for a long time. Peace.
