All the motivational advice is absolutely true. The problem is, we might not be ready to hear it. You say "when are you gonna start living?" Many people would say "after i do X i can go and do that important thing Y". Most of the time they won't, because it's not the X that is preventing them from doing Y, but something within themselves. And what that is that prevents you from doing something would be different for everyone. For me it is fear of failure and the habit to intellectualize and fantasize about the perfect result. It makes you either get Y perfect on the first try, or feel like a failure. Needless to say, i'll spend all the time in the world, ensuring that i do all the X's that could potentially make Y easier to achieve, failing to understand that there are certain Y's that just aren't feasible on the first try and missing the entire point. It's not about the Y, it's about the process of achieving it and observing how it makes you feel better every time you make some progress. And here we go, yet another generic motivational advice, useless to anyone but me, because it comes from within, once you've seen enough, read enough and lived through enough.
@LukeJohnson.133 It made me remember the nasty days when I blamed myself. Everyday I would do nothing to achieve my goals, procrastinating and stuff. I couldn't do anything except for blaming my laziness and thinking about quitting my life.
Thank you
