Need Motivation? Try This. Seriously.
Fighting For Liberty’s guide to mustering up enough motivation to actually accomplish something:
Step 1. Pick a skill you believe you should have. Something worthwhile. Some examples:
- Reloading your own ammo.
- Growing vegetables in your own garden.
- Drywall.
- Balancing your checkbook.
Step 2. List a few of the most questionable skills you have (from a practicality standpoint). Again, examples:
- Making fart noises with your armpits.
- Doing an “around the world” with a yo-yo.
- Turning your eyelids inside-out.
- Balance a golf-club on your nose.
Step 3. Use the words, “I know how to” and list an item from step two. Then, use the words, “BUT I don’t know how to” and list an item from step one.
For example: “I know how to make fart noises with my armpits, BUT I don’t know how to grow vegetables in my own garden.”
Now feel shame. And … you’re done. Bonus points to any of you souls out there brave enough to post one of yours to comments.
USER NOTE: Combining the two items together, but choosing an item from Step 1 FIRST will just make you seem like a complete jackass. For instance, “I don’t know how to reload … BUT I can turn my eyelids inside out!”
Ummm, actually, your example really fits – “I know how to make fart noises with my armpits, BUT I don’t know how to grow vegetables in my own garden.”
Yes, I am shamed. . .:)
