    Follow these steps carefully. Do not tell anybody else. Do not ask them about their opinion. It's irrelevant. I don't care if it's your boyfriend, girlfriend, cat, dog, mom, goldfish, stuffed aardvark. They cannot give you what you need.



    Step one... Walk to nearest mirror
    Step two... Look in mirror and ask yourself what it is you want
    Step three... sit down and write out all the steps to get there.


    MFP friends may cheer you on as may all the objects mentioned at beginning of my OP, but the fact is if you don't have the fire and the desire yourself you won't succeed. You and you alone need to motivate yourself. This is the difference between those with results and those who make excuses.

    Let me make sure I understand you correctly. You are saying I should STOP asking goldfish?

    LOVE this. So many people want and cry for motivation and support from others, we can only help so much. If you don't have the will and desire within yourself, we cannot help you.

    The only thing holding me back is keeping the police from arresting me until the robbery statute has expired.

    Goal setting, do it often. Take pictures too. You will want to see where you came from.
