Waiting 4 Gas

I think there’s a misconception

That spawns a false understanding

Called Lazy – born from misunderstanding

The difference between motivation & inspiration

Because it’s easy to say true dedication

Is pursuing your goal regardless

If you have the motivation that day

That real achievers work regardless

If they want to – though the thing is

I haven’t been waiting to go to the gym

Until I felt like it – I know I won’t ever want to

Until I start – I’ve learned to how things enough

To know how I’ll learn to love the discomfort

& find its own sense of serenity in the routine

That’s when the motivation will come

But the thing is – I have no reason to go

Not in the sense that I can’t see how it will help

In the moment – but I have nothing to hold on to

That inspires the change – I’m content with my self

So I have no image in my head of whatever

To change to even if I wanna change

Eventually – I’m still content with my reflection

Because I know I will always be changing

So I try not to pressure my self on the pace

& just let the process proceed purposefully

Without consideration for the place in the race

So

Long story, short

It’s not that I lack motivation

To change or learn something new

It’s just that even if I can get up & go

No matter how many times I turn the key

There’s no amount of motivation nor willpower

That will start a car that’s still empty of gasoline

I guess you could say

With enough motivation & willpower

I could just walk

But why would I?

I believe some is coming

Patience is a virtue

So why desert my car

On the side of the road

When waiting for a refill

Will probably get me there still

Around the same time

Just not exhausted

From running in bad weather

Because of whatever peer pressure

Whether internal or external

Telling me that waiting patiently

Means I’m just acting Lazy
