thoughts worth what you Paid
It's true, and in the words of Bill Winke, "Young people are not consistent in their effort". Well, too be fair, old people aren't consistent in their effort either. Speaking of myself of course. I've made stellar efforts and enjoyed the results. Yet, I continue to fail in maintaining the consistency. I believe what's missing in my case is the "life change", about which Dr. Phil writes and speaks. Hey if it was easy, we'd all be rocket scientists fitness champions. Some days it's a simple matter of procrastination, it's easy to start tomorrow. I'll start exercising, studying, eating right......tomorrow, because right now a double stuffed oreo family pack and quart of whole milk will satisfy my cravings. Sugar has got to be a drug, how it lifts you up and then lets you crash. It comes in lots of forms too, soda, candy, and cookies; all in nice attractive packaging that appeals to the senses. It looks like I've strayed from the title.
Youth is typically the time when physically you're in your prime. It's all easy, running, jumping, swinging, and so on. Yet it's also the time when most want to put out as little effort as they can to "get by". It's mostly effective, see how your peers are doing the same thing. It's some twisted idea that if I'm doing better than my peers, that's good enough. Instead of slacking and doing just enough to get by, you should be pushing yourself to get better. But in your little world you're good enough you think. You're WRONG, because you can be better. That means if "better is possible, then good is not good enough". I read that in book I can't recall the title too in order to give proper credit at this time. On a brighter note, if Hillary is elected POTUS, she can take some awesomeness from some other people that were consistent in their efforts and give it too me. I think I'm entitled.
