THE FORUMS

If your feeling depressed, its because your ignoring the fact you need to make a change in your life. 

There is something you need to face, and ignoring to do so is depressing.  People who are ready to make a change, simply make the change.  There's an old saying that says "what you're doing speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you are saying."  You can say you want to be physically fit and healthy, but what does your schedule say?  Does it say your watching Man v. Food marathons all weekend?  Or is your scheduled filled with healthy and fit things your doing?  Many people are deluding themselves!  They don't want to eat healthy and be fit.  No, its just the notion of being healthy and fit excites them.  That's called cognitive dissonance.  

You can say you want to improve your self, and pick up girls. If picking up chicks isn't filling up your schedule, than the truth of the matter is, that it isn't a priority for you.  Maybe your just infatuated with the idea.
 
You can argue that self-development is a essential pursuit for you.  Because the better you are, the more effective you'll be.  But, show me your schedule and I'll discover the truth.  Because your schedule doesn't lie. 

Many people generally prefer to stay in their comfort zone, fine-tuning their reasons for dodging change.  Why would you want to change, if what your doing is comftable and effortless?  But remember, what your doing in life right now, is exactly what you want to be doing.  Making a change is up to you. 

Maybe this will get someone to step out of their comfort zone.  Towards that vision you have of the future.  Successful people do things that are not immediately gratifying, but they value the long term outcome.  Liking something in the moment isn't a requirment, but changing your behaviors to align with your goals is.  With time you may enjoy the process, because its allinged with your core values.
