I’m sitting in front of my PC at 2 AM, surfing the web. I’ve been in this same room since noon when I woke up. I actually had classes today from 8-5, but didn’t feel like going because of a little headache. Didn’t go grocery shopping, didn’t read my book, didn’t go to the gym and I didn’t even practice playing the drums. Basically this was a completely useless day, and I’ve had many in the past few months.
Think about that. This day could’ve been erased out of my life and I wouldn’t have lost ANYTHING.
I’m so F*cking sick and tired of this. Every day I think about becoming an entrepreneur and hitting it big, I binge-watch the Shark Tank to ‘get some ideas for my next business’, at least that’s what I tell myself. Just gotta wait for that million dollar idea and then I’ll make millions, right? Meanwhile I’m falling behind with school, I don’t study because ‘I won’t need that degree anyway once I got my business up and running’. Meanwhile I’m too lazy to even go grocery-shopping.
But every day I come home from university I fall back into my lazy self. It’s like some sort of magic force holding me back from the outside world, feeding me with instant gratification as I sit here playing games and browsing and masturbating and reading all this useless shit on Reddit and watching all this crap on Youtube. Once every blue moon I go to the gym or maybe get around to reading a book, and then I pat myself on the back as if I were some sort of genius for the rest of the day.
But not tomorrow. No, not tomorrow. I will write a list of things to do for tomorrow and I will cross out every item on that list for the first time in my life. 18 years of my life, that’s 1/5 already gone and I have some mediocre school grades and some basic skills to show for it.
I always start making these huge resolutions if it’s after midnight, but when I wake up in the morning I’m back to my old self, doing jack shit all day. But if I learned anything from reading all these posts, it’s that you don’t become successful overnight. It will take a long time to get rid of all these time-wasters, these leeches, and even longer before I can start thinking about becoming an entrepreneur.
I don’t know what it will take for me to get out of this trainwreck. But I will start logging my progress (if I have any) on this forum as some sort of diary. And if, by some unknown reason, someone is reading this, feel free to tear me a new one if I don’t continue these posts regularly.
So I guess we will see tomorrow if I’m still here. Wish me luck on what will hopefully be a new start for me.

P.S.: I hope this was at least a little coherent. Hopefully these posts will get better grammatically and stylistically as I go on with my journey.

Solution: Turn your video games off, the television, or what ever else distracts you. No one can discipline you, but yourself. You can write a list, and when you write the list, what do you suppose you should do afterwards?
1. Learn to positive self-talk
2. Stop thinking and take action: Do something. Making lists will point out what you need to take action on, but physically moving yourself is impossible unless you get out of your comfort zone and move.
3. It will take you actually moving your body and doing something to get you out of your train wreck, like working on your attitude, beliefs, thinking patterns, and moving. Applying what you learn. Doing Jack Shit All Day, is a personal choice. Believe it or not, you're the only person driving your body.
4. There is no magical force, it's you doing or not doing something. No magic to it.
5. I can give you a rabbit foot key chain, do you really think it will give you luck? There is no luck, it's you moving and doing. I would say you make some excuse for not doing something different. I have better things to do like have fun.
6. Every once in a blue moon, sounds like you're not to interested in doing anything, but what you're doing. Sitting around having fun. You're not serious about being an Entrepreneur. You're not serious about your life.
7. Entrepreneurs don't thrive on instant gratification. Another sign you want a quick fix, easy path, and do nothing.
8. I don't/I won't sounds like you don't and won't do what is necessary to be an entrepreneur and success in life.
I suppose if you look at your key words here, it points to "I"m not that serious".
