What is my motivation??

Oct 19, 2005 13:19

Really. Usually we are asked that question while imitating a bugs bunny-esqe cartoon of two animated characters poking fun at silly theatre people and asking "What is my motivation?" Or in an evening time sitcom of sarcastic characters that we love oh-so-much asking each other "What is my motivation?" (insert laughing track). But in a non-animated and non-sitcom manner, "What is my motivation as CJ Lawson?"

I don't have much motivation when it comes to some things, while other things I have an over-abundance of motivation.
Math class=close to no motivation whatsoever. Hooking a cute guy=all the motivation in the world.
Will this equation get me anywhere in life? Unless it is the .005% chance that "cute guy" is my future husband, absolutly not.

However, I am not completly useless.
Getting ahead in my office=motiviation out the ass.
Getting someone to tell me "Yes" when previously told "No"=Total motiviation
Wanting a certain part in a play=motivation is my audition
Among other things, Im sure.

So when the idea of motivation for the next 10 months entered my brain, I had to really think about it. It's easy as hell to say "Yes, Im going to be completly motivated without giving up for an entire year." How does one stay absolutly and completly motivated for this long without having a shred of doubt, disappointment, failure, or even total unsuccessfullness? When I am motivated, depending on what it is, I really don't stay at attention all that long. Eventually my stature begins to loosen and fall.

Can I completly quit my job for the next semester, do nothing but
a. Go to school full time. And I mean REALLY full time.
b. Work out as much as possible and loose 30 pounds.
c. Get amazing grades
d. AND graduate by August?
e. Could I finally grow up and stop screwing around and settle down for only one guy?
f. And if I did, would I be sucessfull in a monogomous relationship?

Can I...
Do absolutly nothing but study my schoolwork, because I won't have time for anything else
And when I do have that slight sliver of time, actually think about getting healthy again?
And with all this, am I going to have the self control to sustain from sexual activity for 8 months?
(probably not that last one...who am I kidding???)

"What is my motivation?" Could I do all this and graduate early, grow up, and loose weight in 8 months? Hmmm...
