Hope Less Romantics

I had hope for you.

Imaging you would be that once-upon-a-time-story, that 

it’s obviously-meant-to-be story, that 

she’s-been-under-my-nose-the-entire-time story, that 

exception to every other story that has played out & left me wanting more

You were there after every cliff-hanger, unfinished chapters, & every sequel 

You were the spine that kept this book together & not allowing my pages to fly in different directions

I had hope for you. 

You set this up as the ultimate love story that would end all the cliff-hangers, unfinished chapters, & the sequels

It was your chapter, your conclusion to our happy-ending, it was going to be 

Us

You proved we deserved Us

The dialogue was perfect

The plot, not the most organized but you were there

That’s all the mattered 

I had hope for you.

You’re no different than the rest of them

I wanted the climax of your tale to be different than those I earlier wrote

but you’re no different than the rest of them

Same foundation

Same motivation

Same

You were going to be my myth, my 

fairy tale, my 

once upon a time in a magical faraway land

there lived two maidens who loved & loved again

I had hope for you. 

But your character showed their true colors & now I have to end this novel & start a new

Finding a lead that won’t surprise the reader into thinking they’re the hero 

only to be revealed that they are indeed the villain of this series

I’m ready to start over again

Chapter 1

I have hope for us.

1) Focus on a Specific Task

I have procrastinated on a lot of things, but I find it most helpful if I narrow my focus on doing one thing. Let's take this article. I had put it off for a while. This morning I decided to focus on it. I began, though, with other email, Googling nonsense and watching some news. But then I said, "Focus on the task." That's what I am doing right now.

A lot of procrastinators get overwhelmed thinking about all the things that they need to get done. But right now you can do only one thing -- not everything. Getting one thing done -- proving to yourself that you can overcome procrastination -- is a great way of overcoming any procrastination. Just apply these rules to each task that you are avoiding. You may find that your procrastination is always the same thing.

2) Assign a Specific Time

Like a lot of procrastinators, you might be vague about when you are going to get it done. You might say, "this week" or, even more vaguely, "sometime." The problem with being vague about time is that there will always be other things that come up for you. Make an appointment with the task.

Now some procrastinators think, "I can't really start it if I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to it." That just becomes another way of avoiding doing it. You don't have to get the whole thing done -- it's better to get it started -- better to get something done. I have found it quite helpful to give myself a time limit -- for example, "Spend one hour working on it." By limiting my commitment, I can feel that I am not going to be overwhelmed. You can always get something started, always do something -- always get more done than getting absolutely nothing done. Something is better than nothing.

3) List the Advantages and Disadvantages of Doing It

Procrastinators are great coming up with reasons not to do something. You can always convince yourself that it is too much to do, you don't have enough time, or you would rather do something else. Fine. Those are the disadvantages of doing it. But how about the advantages of doing it? If you get something started -- or finish something -- what will be the benefits to you? You might feel better about yourself, you might feel you finally overcame your procrastination and you might think you don't have to think about it anymore. Weigh these advantages and disadvantages.

Now, sometimes the advantages of getting something done are longer-term. For example, exercising today might not give you much of an advantage today -- in fact, you might have aches and pains after. But if you continued to exercise on a regular basis for a few months your advantages might accumulate. The same with sticking with your diet. The advantages might take a while to show up. Are you willing to invest some discomfort and time in making your life better?

With so much hard work, this guy still gets free doughnuts because we are fat and too stupid to know any better. He can sing Al Green amazingly though.

Rosco P. Coldtrain, is a 8 year old Sorrel Gelding that has been well trained correctly. Very muscular and well built horse quite enough to be a future kid horse. Low headed with a very willing attitude, great muscle tone, and not at all spooky. This well built gelding is smart and willing to do anything you correctly ask him to do.

Looks great in Western tack and under saddle has a good head set. Very good ground manners, no bite, no kick, no buck, and no rearing. This horse is healthy, sound with no known vices. Will stand great at the trailer and he always remains settled and under control while riding. This gelding has good conformation and great feet.

While riding this handy gelding will easily goes to a lope on cue. Stops with a light hand and will back up with light pressure. Rosco also will get along with mares and geldings while on the trail. Very well rounded trained and settled horse that knows his job and does it well. This quarter horse is worth much more than the asking price.
