just a thought.

If you find you're a couch potato -- and I have gone through those moments in my life where I have said to myself, "Gosh, I don't want to get up off of this couch... I'm enjoying these chips too much." -- you have put one foot in front of the other. You have to find something that excites you... and then go there. But, what will happen invariably is that you're going to hit a wall. It's unavoidable. It happens to marathon runners, it happens to anyone who has some sort of exciting idea, or is experiencing that first burst of energy into this new project. The work kicks in and you say to yourself, "You know, this isn't as exciting as I thought it was going to be." If you can mentally prepare yourself for that wall... because it will be there... and you fight through that wall - then you've accomplished something. You'll feel your self esteem grow because you did it. You accomplished it. And suddenly you'll realize that those potato chips don't taste so good. Let's forget the couch and let's go do something.
