>>34910620

>>34910507

>>34910528
It's because a lot of us don't need motivation, we need discipline.
Personally I've come to look at these threads less as a reason to do what I need to do, and more like highway billboards to enjoy looking at while I keep pushing forward.
>>34910710
>>34910716
Damn...
>>34910706
THIS IS SO TRUE
it's a personal theory but i think we are all slightly autistic in different fields. when it comes to medicine i am full blown autism, lucky for me being autistic in the health sciences pays off well. you just gotta find your autistic calling in life
>>34910738
i mean in this case I think 'autistic' is just a meme word and can be replaced with "extremely focused" or something. the actual word Autism has really lost its meaning on this site
but I still agree, I'm autistic about a few things and it's helped me come a long way
>>34910507
because motivation is for weak-willed faggots who cannot into discipline.
>>34910655
This one always fucking gets me.
>>34910522
>asking for broader shoulders instead of doing side lateral raise + OHP
Anyone want me to continue?
>>34910706
Completely true. Every top level athlete etc. is autistic as fuck about their profession.
>>34910841
Keep it going, motivation may be for the weak but some of these quotes are definitely food for thought

"You don't need motivation, you need discipline" is such a fucking meme now.
Disciplined action is spawned from a dream of success.
Sheep are disciplined to eat, to shit, to be corralled, but they are still sheep because they can't hope, their only motivation is to eat grass. It's the sheep that's inspired by greener grass that leaves the herd.
Pure discipline is for the unthinking robots of mankind.
Dare to dream
Dare to be inspired
Or you'll always be stuck in pallet town
>>34912935
it's easy to have discipline to do the same simple things all day every day. that's what 90% of the world does. to achieve something great you need to put some thought into your actions and do things most people won't and for that you need motivation. that's how I see it
>>34910440
I'm sorry this isn't /fit/ related but I don't know who else to turn to. You niggers mean more to me than you honestly should.
There's this fuckin qt 3.14 two houses down from me, and let me tell you, I've gotten a lot of fuckin exercise running around the block tryna catch her. No luck so far. Well today I heard from my other neighbor that she works takeout at Outback. This is good I think because I don't have to gamble on what waitress I'll get.
But how the fuck do I approach this girl? Do I mention I've been trying to meet her and I saw her outside or something?
>>34913277
> Do I mention I've been trying to meet her and I saw her outside or something?
no don't fucking do that
ask her out but you have to pretend you don't really give a shit t b h
>>34913330
Pretend I have no idea that she's my neighbor then? I'm terrible at being social dude I'm afraid "asking her out" is gonna come out clunky as fuck.
Gains did not help me in this area.
>>34913277
idk if I'd want to say you've been trying to meet her and oddly showing up at her work like that, but I might mention something about her being familiar and seeing her around. I'm not much help from here on out but that is how I'd start it
>>34913363
Okay don't be a creeper, that makes sense. See this is why I'm glad I asked.
>>34910636
Call me stupid, but this completely explained a lot of people I've met.
lets give it a go

>>34913501
Thanks for sharing this was amazing.
>>34913344
if you're asking this question on 4chan chances are you're autistic as fuck and will only embarass yourself but your best bet would be flirting a bit, then asking her out and acting like you're a guy who doesn't care if she accepts the invitation or not because it wouldn't be a loss for you anyway. quite the opposite of truth but that's the type of behaviour girls find attractive

>>34913590
Not sure if you're still here, but honestly this.
Order your food, she might even recognize you, if not then throw in the "wait, don't you live on my street?" and take it from there. Don't overthink it. Unless she is really into you I wouldn't put too much faith in pulling a number from such a limited interaction, but maybe finish with "hey maybe I'll see you around" and go back for food again some time soon.
Does any one have the screen cap of anon posting about "control"?
For some reason I always loved this one, usually says "I got this"
>>34914313
I fucking hate niggers
Am I the only one who likes motivation for other projects?
Lifting for me is not hard, I don't need any motivation for lifting, I LOVE lifting and what it does to my body, all I have to do is look in the mirror to feel motivated.
>>34910808
I got goosebumps
>>34914187
I'm here bro, just got back.
It wasn't what I was hoping for. I got another cutie and some fat kid. The fat kid and the cutie were bro tier and talked to me but the cutie I came in for walked in, handed me the bag of food, and when I said thank you she smiled and said you're welcome my dear.
I have hope. I'm gonna go back in soon and do what you said. I think she may or may not have slightly mired.
>>34914475
Oh I should mention that she seemed pretty busy and quickly left after handing me the food. I didn't wanna be like one of those oblivion guards HALT CITIZEN.
>>34914475
>you're welcome my dear
Is she 70 years old?
>>34914484
Sounds like you did good under the circumstances, it's hard to talk to someone when they're busy at work (I bartend so I totally understand). You'll be playing the long game on this one, but good luck anon.
>>34913501
Epic
>>34914644
Appreciate it brother. I'm a little dissapointed but at least my spaghetti was tightly sealed. I'm pretty fuckin interested so I'm gonna keep at it.
>>34914640
I liked it to be honest. Seemed a little classy. She's got the whole red hair and glasses girl next door thing going on so it's fuckin adorable.
>>34914678
Is she fit?
>>34910813
underrated
>>34914704
She probably doesn't lift but she's slender if that's what you mean, in good shape
>>34914678
At least the pasta was put away, that's a good start. And redheads are proof that God exists and he wants us to be happy. I've always loved the nerdy look too, so I'm more than a little jealous anon. Here, have a funny and somewhat motivating story.
>>34910507
What does this mean? Who is the you in this quote?
>>34914743
Thanks for the laugh anon. With that I'm gonna go run off some of this anxiousness that's not gonna go away if I don't act on something.
Have a good evening anon.
>>34914742

You too my friend, best of luck.
Currently listening to an audio lecture series on Famous Romans from Rufus Fears
Learning to the feats of great men like Crassus, Scipio and Hannibal is motivation and makes any obstacles I face seem exceedingly trivial

Why would they put that quote under that image? It is completely out of context.
Read this quote in a book a few years ago, and I've always kept it around for motivation:
"A man's potential is unlimited, the reasoning goes. A man can reach any heights in life in any sphere of activity. But in order to defeat his opponents a man must first overcome himself, combat his own fears, his lack of confidence and laziness. The path upwards is one of continual battle with oneself. He must exclude from his life everything that prevents him from achieving his objective. He must subordinate the whole of his existence to the strictest regime. He must give up taking days off. He must use his time to the best possible advantage and fit in even more than was thought possible. A man aiming for a particular target can succeed only if he uses every minute of his life to the maximum advantage for carrying out his plan."
>>34915703
The only context it's supposed to offer is the speaker's identity.
>>34914770
It means it is always your move.The you is who reads it.
I think it means that its always your choice what you do.Even if you quit shit.Never really thought about it so I could be wrong.

clearly not, because i don't know a single member of my family who has ever been on a social program. Yet i'm renting a room to a nigress who has been on welfare for 8 years at 26. Absolute scum, they need to disappear, communists deserve death.

Sorry if this tickles the autism radar but this image has always bothered me because that statue is clearly not marble and seems to me to represent a humorous irony more than be inspirational. After all, you don't chisel cast metal. The artist obviously knew this.

I was going to say its because there are a lot of broken people like me who get their motivation from hate and spite.
honestly if i'm getting all lazy and I decide to go into /fit/ I run right to the fat hate threads. I look at all those sad people and think "might not be you but do you really want to take a day off"
and then I get of my ass and go to the gym.
>>34912999

The man who wrote that ruled the Roman Empire.
If you're unhappy with your current job, either change your job, or change how you feel about it. Or, in the worst-case scenario, find enough to be happy about elsewhere that you can accept the job as a means to those other ends, without being bitter about it. Staying unhappy isn't going to get you anywhere

He definitely had some privileges (triggered) of birth. Born into well to do family, adopted by the emperor of rome in his early teens, educated by the best tutors and philosophers of his day, etc.
But that doesn't take away from the fact that he was an extremely successful and well like leader that is remembered to this day. Many with much more privilege of birth have done less or worse. Hell just look how his son turned out. Kind of a screw up as far as emperors go.

Also when he says 'work' he doesn't literally mean work/employment. He is referring to everything that humans do. Eat, socialize, reproduce, etc.
He is saying that the humans were built/designed/evolved/created by the gods to do more than just sleep in their warm beds.
