It’s not a week long seminar at some beachside resort and spa. Ice breakers with nice strangers. Distrustful trust falls. Seven easy, twelve easy, twenty-five easy steps and that’s all. Some people need that. A format, a road map. They’re so lost about where they wanna go, they don’t even know where they’re at. And it works. But once you dig yourself out of that hole, it’s not like the film ends and the credits roll, it’s- The funny thing about motivation is it’s not a party. It’s not a drum beat in your chest echoing through your body. Each day isn’t a dragon to slay, a battle for your army. Temporary life mottos scribbled in permanent Sharpie. Some people need those. Credos. Words to live by. Metaphors and allegories to fit yourself inside. And it works. But take away the glitz and the guts and let that luster get a little rust... The funny thing about motivation is… is that it’s disappointing. All it really boils down to is strengthening your inner voice and that’s not loud, that’s not bright, that’s not an interesting story. Books don’t get written about small personal victories because that would be boring. But small personal victories are what’s truly human. Funny thing about motivation is that it’s not a crowd chanting over moving music. It’s a single pat on your back saying, “You can do this.” It’s muted. It’s quiet. Sometimes it’s silent. Funny thing about procrastination. Sometimes it's not 'cause you're lazy. Snoozin' your alarm so you can stay asleep every day of the week until the due date's reached. Stayed up all night to turn it in late, incomplete. Some people do that. Who can't? Chapter 2 Math sounds so much sadder than afternoon nap. So you don't work. But it’s not just putting off for later so you can watch some vlogger’s day first. I heard somebody who studied decision making for years get asked, “Have you gotten better at making decisions in your own life?” He said no. Right? Like if he was researching this whole time, how does he not know by now? But the funny thing is being smarter doesn’t make you more productive. You just get better at justifying your poor judgement. More convincing excuses. More lenient sentences. Better intentions to pave the road to hell with. All this to say that I’m not lazy. I just trust that tomorrow me will be wiser than today me. Blindly, faithfully. Trusting the process. But if I give it all to God, so to speak, what have I got left? If I keep pushing the deadlines back, I’ll be dead by the time I react. And that’s not laziness. Or maybe it is that. Funny thing about procrastination. It hits back. It’s a tought fight. And I’ve lost sight. But I’m still tryin’. I’ll be alright.

This isn't inherently a bad thing by the way, I just thought I'd note the flow utilized in this song as I find it actually quite enjoyable because of how unique and strangely relaxing it makes the song feel 2022-09-19T11:30:09Z Comment by Shenanigans That is indeed the funny thing 2020-02-06T07:05:54Z Comment by Chaos This is so amazing.
