Magic

I know this will come as a shock to some, but...there is no such thing as magic. At least not when it comes to getting things done in life. If there is magic that allows me to accomplish the things that I have, it's called "Get Shit Done." Yeah, it's that simple. If I were to wait until the "right" moment, or when "I felt like" doing things, chances are, not much would be done. Have I necessarily enjoyed doing the dishes, folding laundry, or cleaning the bathroom? Well, maybe...I'm a little weird. But when it comes down to it, I know what needs to be done, and get this...I FUCKING DO IT. It's that simple.

Some people think that they have to wait until they get the motivation to do things, but little do they know, that motivation is not always necessary to accomplish things. Nor is energy. I don't necessarily feel like the Energizer Bunny, but yet I am still able to walk three dogs two miles per day, work out, cook, clean, do laundry, write articles for work and do my homework. How am I able to do this? Perhaps it's due to the fact that I am intrinsically motivated in life. Maybe that is what helped me to graduate high school at the ripe age of 16, earn my first degree by the time I turned 18, served a dozen years on active duty in the military, completed my undergraduate degree, and now work as a freelance writer as I also attend graduate school. 

It can be done. Don't wait for the "right" time. Don't rely on "magic pills." Don't wait for the motivation to "kick in." Just. Fucking. Do. It.
