I blame it on depression but while that is mostly true the fact is I have not applied my will power to control my actions. Hence nothing, or very little gets done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bottom line: No excuse. I don&#8217;t get anything done because I am too lazy to control my thoughts, which in turn controls my actions. Well that course of action that is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So what am I doing about it? I have gone back to the &#8220;old school&#8221; text books. Those books written before political correctness came into being. Books like &#8220;Think and Grow Rich&#8221;, &#8220;The Science of Being Rich&#8221;, &#8220;Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude&#8221;, books which have a strong message of self-reliance and self-determination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are having trouble getting a handle on your life, maybe you should read &#8220;old school&#8221; text. It&#8217;s helping me, maybe the words will help you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">G.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There doesn&#8217;t seem to be enough hours in the day to do what I want to do.
