We often look at mountains, and think of the effort that it would take to climb it.
learning new tasks, adapting to change, doing that diet, venturing into the new.
On Wednesdays we tell ourselves, it just two more days until weekend.
We look at the time , and say just another hour until we knock off.
One more month until your birthday, ect.
We break time up to make the things we have to do more bearable.
However, sometimes its to procrastinate and avoid, like Ill write that report tomorrow.
Ill snooze my alarm, just five more minutes...
I know I have to do that thing, but ill wait until the deadline, or until they ask me for it.
Its great to make to it in such a way that we feel we are capable of completing the tasks set before us, and the ones we set for ourselves.
It makes it so much more achievable.
Being told, that its the last time you have to do something, you are more likely to do it, so its done forever.
When we tell ourselves that we still have time to do the stuff we put off, like taxes , fines, cutting your nails , all the chores ect , don't we put ourselves at a disadvantage?
For me, I silently stress about it , until the pressure builds up to such a point that I hit my mental sweet spot - seeing that I thrive under pressure, Personally I become more analytical .
But most of the time, I can say that I'm actually lazy.
I know this about myself, and yet I think that that is tomorrows problem.
I know that its an issue and its one today, and will be one tomorrow, unless I make the change.
Until I start to push. Until I resolve it, and be better - it will make me capable of doing so much more.
But before me is a mountain. Do I climb? I know its worth it. The view from the top will be amazing.

Sure I will, Maybe after looking at my mountain Ill find that there is a cable car it that foot of the hill.
Maybe the climb will show me my strength.
Ill never know if I don't push through it.
You will never know certain sides of yourself , unless you step out of your routine.
Sometimes change happens to you, But you can always bring upon change.
Keep on hustling. I know its worthwhile.
Do you?
Until Next time ...

How insightful, I myself have to fight a lot of laziness too... avoiding to do any task or chore I need to do until the last minute causing me to get stressed... every time I do that I tell myself I won't do it again next time ... next time... next time I'll do it right, next time I'll do it on time... but when the next time comes the result is the same I left it for the deadline... with the years I've realized that I also thrive in stress and can focus more on a task when I'm overwhelmed and have no other choice but to do it.

You completely understand what meant! thank you.
It makes me wonder if stress is actually a good thing? - in moderation...
and why is it that we need to give a situation so much power before we act?
I think its something we all suffer from but most of the time we are not aware of it.

I myself wonder if I thrive on stress and enjoy the stressful situations I force myself into by not acting on a situation sooner just because I was lazy or procrastinating.

Many of my posts, are cases of me learning to be more self aware.
its nice to know that others identify with it too.
We all on the road of life together.

@fates of the Southern African sun, hi!
I glimpse your mountaintop from my mountain place
The view is breathtaking and the breeze cool
Prepare to mount your mount, there being no other way
For you only surmount when you dare to mount
Do you see a cable cab? Usually there's none.
So climb your mountain and tarry not
As you hit the gallops and the bumps
You will hit the fun, the excitement, the love
You will arrive only to discover there's no mountain after all
Only the ride.

Thanks for sharing! I know with success and all, there shall be a rise to greatness even a few falls.
Learning about myself , finding what I lack, might be a step forward when taking a step back.
The mountain might just be all in my mind.
But from the top miracles will easier to find.
You have my gratitude for such an awesome reply.

@fates You got it damn right when you said "The mountain might just be all in my mind." In truth, that is where it is. Keep growing in the direction of your purpose, my friend.
