So I've read some of the post here. I must say each are unique yet oddly familiar. We all have situations that seem hopeless, and yet I know if we just power through them their be something better for each one of us. I don't believe in hope. I believe in action. Yes that takes motivation and for people like us it's hard to be motivated. The key of course is to move. Get up and move. That's just the first step. Then we have to think. That's really hard. Seems like we are lost in our own minds too much of the time. Positive steps require a prostitute attitude. You can't make progress unless you have the right attitude and take positive action. It's a fight, I know all too well. Most of the time I don't know what to do You have to ignore distractions. You have to block out anything or anyone that holds you down. You have to face your fears. It's exhausting! I am tired. I sometimes think that I can't go on. I wonder if it's worth it Then I realize that I have to make it worth it.
