5 Things to Tell Yourself When Lacking Motivation
Disclaimer This will be unlike most any motivational advice that you have ever heard or read. However, I feel strongly that it is advice that people should hear more often.

People in this life, do this word, not so tired
People to a certain stage, always inexplicable feel tired, will feel very tired. Physical fatigue is often not the most important, the key is psychological fatigue, which is difficult to eliminate.

The simpler life is, the less strenuous it is
Most people believe that everyone else in the world should change except themselves. The truth is, it's easier to change yourself than it is to change others. Those who try to change the minds of others by themselves are naive and ridiculous.

The Artful Pursuit of Writing
OK, we’ve all been there at one time or another as a writer. You work hard – very hard – on a particular piece, and then you edit and fine-tune it time and again, until you finally post it for publication. Once your poem, commentary, short story, or even prelude to a novel has been published by Vocal, you find yourself repeatedly checking its stats, sure that the throngs of subscribers on Vocal will love your piece as much as you. As days – and then long weeks - go by, your stats change only minimally, so you try to convince yourself that not everyone has the same refined taste as you do when it comes to writing. Surely, however, Vocal in all its knowledge and glory will recognize your work's outstanding attributes and award you that long-awaited, coveted prize - or at the very least, bestow an accolade of recognition. So, you patiently wait, day after day, week after week, until the designated moment finally arrives, all too sure that your piece of work will be cited as a winner. Repeatedly throughout the day, you refresh the Vocal homepage until at long last, the list of winners appears. What? Wait a minute and hold the presses. There must be a major mistake because your piece is completely missing from the cited winners. In abject despair and disbelief, you throw yourself on the floor and cry for at least half of an hour, completely and utterly devastated. Sure, there were thousands upon thousands of entries, but everyone you know loved your piece and assured you it would be a winner, so how the world did this happen? How did you not get it right this time? You were so sure you’d written the perfect piece.

Struggling with getting the job done?
Listening is an important part of communication. In fact, listening is often the most important part. If you listen well, you'll be able to understand what other people are saying and give them the feedback they need. If you don't listen well enough, though, there can be consequences: missed details that could lead to problems later down the road; miscommunications that lead to conflict and bad feelings; and more.

Isshinryu Karate and Life
A martial artist once trained so hard to craft his body to the point that pain would no longer be felt. The martial artist would kick trees with his shins and strike palms against stones. The martial artist would practicing falling to the point that the pull of gravity slamming the martial artist's body against the ground was barely felt. All of this was done to separate the body from the mind. The goal to numb the mind from the pain or recognition of the pain by the body.

Designer Life
When I was just a child my parents would tell me that I could do anything I set my mind to. Now that I am an adult, have served in the military and came to realize that this is true... I've found myself for a long time in a rut unable to move. I was missing something in my life, the knowledge of what life is actually all about. So many people have different ideas and inspirations which make unique gifts that they bring into the world. What's my gift though? I was always unable to see for myself, perhaps because I am humble and do not recognize what I bring into the world.
