At times all you need is "A swift kick in the butt" to see life in a saner perspective.
Its totally worth. Admit it, you need it :)
Success usually isn't a constant, it’s an ebb and flow. You’ll have a period of months where nothing can stop you, and you enjoy wins with few exceptions. Then there are also periods of uncomfortable setbacks.
Although most people constantly seek the enjoyable wins, I think the flow of good and bad can be helpful. During an ebb you can use the discomfort to motivate yourself to new heights. The productivity you assert in your ebb phase makes the next flow phase that much better.
Sounds Weird! Isn't it? Yes it does, but as you know there are always two side to the coins. You can be motivated by a feeling of purpose, or a creative passion. You can be happy and ambitious at the same time.
However, if you find yourself sitting in an uncomfortable position, why not use it? Instead of viewing the bad phase in your life as a weakness, make it a point of strength.
I’ve found that some people improve themselves more when outside a relationship, than in one. While this is far from a universal truth, being alone can spur you to make changes you otherwise wouldn't. The lack of comfort and security give you nothing to relax against, and you can push yourself forward. That is why, I have seen child of a working class woman is a bit practical which is of-course my opinion.
Of course, some people find the opposite true: when they are in a relationship, they are able to focus more. You need to twist what you’ve got to make it work for you. If you’re alone, use the extra time and freedom to push yourself forward. If you’re together, use the extra emotional support to focus. The same applies whether you’re poor or rich, unhealthy or fit, busy or have unlimited time. I don't have to far for this, I know a couple who were more dynamic and determined when they were together. While one of them improved on academics to great extent, other used to work out solely because he wanted to look good in front of his girl, and have better stamina for-uh, dinner conversations The better I feel about myself, the better he feel about being the guy she wants to be with!
I’m not saying you should avoid doing things that will make you comfortable or happy. That will probably result in even less motivation. But you should recognize what part of the wave you’re in, and learn how to ride it. If you happen to be in a position of recession, use that to drive you.
PS: You always have resources at hand, all you have to find is how you can put the pieces together.
