Are you a self starter?

In certain cases I could answer yes to that question. In other cases it takes someone else so get me going in the right direction. What I mean by this is simple. It doesn't take a gun pointed at my head to get me to pick up after myself and get along with other people, but sometimes I have to get motivated more. To do some things like check my blood pressure at least once a week or walk more or eat less junk food and stop talking for hours on the phone. I have to sometimes just do it. Or stop doing it, whatever that might be.

I have to be a self starter because no one else is going to help me.

Then you are one of the few the proud the brave who would be more suited to lead others in the right path at self motivation. Are you a motivation speaker? If not you might make a good one.

@lookatdesktop No, I have a phobia about public speaking or being in the spotlight. If I don't do things myself then I will be living in Bekins box eating out of trash cans.

@JohnRoberts Well, you seem quite optimistic in any case. It's hard out there. I can relate.My mother was agoraphobic. She was a recluse. I kind of am but I have to make myself get out sometimes but I wear dark sunglasses. This seems to cut down the stress from being around all the people all day long.

In my case, I need to. Since I need to act before it is too late for me. I am taking all the chances and be more productive as much as possible.

@lookatdesktop Thank you for the compliment. I think it is not good to dwell in the corner and not doing something.

I think this is great. You are reflecting a good and positive motivation to do things in a more productive manner. Many people tend to get lazy but you seem to be one who will not let things get in your way, so to speak. Keep up the good attitude and be successful with whatever challenges come your way.

Yes, when the day begins, you make your own personal decisions about how to go about your day, but we all need a little help from our creator, who is always looking after us from on high.
