Hello again!
Right now there are a million things I should be doing, writing one of my two papers due on Tuesday, Reading my English book, cleaning my room... But I'm not doing any of those things. All day I've been so unmotivated to do anything in the way of work. It's these days that are often the hardest. You have to really push yourself to get the smallest things done. Just to do something other than lay around talking with friends or creeping on facebook takes a massive amount of effort. But these are the days that test us. On these days we see if we have what it takes to push through. I won't pretend I'm perfect, I'll admit that sometimes I just don't seem to have what it takes and just give in and stop pushing myself. Life is all about balance though and I'm trying to find the right balance between giving myself chill time and working hard. It's a struggle that each of us has to go through on a daily basis. Leading a balanced life is a difficult goal to achieve, but it can be done. My family and friends are so wonderful in helping me maintain some sort of balance in my life, and for that and so much more, I am grateful. In the stressful times when I'm unmotivated I need to remember to count my blessings and realize just how blessed I truly am. To be surrounded by such an amazing group of friends here at PC and to have the support of my awesome family is priceless. There's a quote that goes, "Just because today was a horrible day doesn't mean tomorrow won't be the best day of your life. You just have to get there" and that couldn't be more true. So even though today I wasn't nearly as productive as I should have been or would have liked to be, I shouldn't be too upset, because, who knows, tomorrow may just be wonderful, but I won't know unless I accept the past so I can move on to the future. I need to understand that sometimes I fall short of my expectations for myself and I just need to work harder next time. It's all about growing and developing into the person we're suppose to be. That will take lots of effort and will be difficult, but what in life isn't? Besides, we have to remember that life's not a destination, it's a journey. Enjoy the ride.
