I am a 31 year old guy that is not ugly or goofy(in fact, my closest friends think that I’m pretty cool), but I am shy when it comes to introductions. I have a natural tendancy to approach every aspect of my life with the desire to do my best, but I trained myself to remain humble…no matter how good I become. I sink down into myself whenever I get a compliment.
When I was in my early teenage years, I was picked on by the pretty people (you know, the popular ones whose parents were obsessed with how well their kids turned out). These kids were the ones that always got their asses kissed. Anyway, I made an oath to never be like those whom I despised, and now I’m stuck.
So here I am…All these years later… trapped by my conditioning.
I know that it takes baby steps to start the path of improvement, and I am looking for the right stimuli.

We are always taught to think positive about everything no matter what. We are always told to approach life with a “glass half full” mentality.
Isn’t this the worst kind of self deceiving lie a person can tell themselves? In the real world, we have good days and we have bad days…there are good things and there are bad things. If you only look for the good, don’t you then completely lose the ability to recognize the bad? Don’t you then start finding the “good” in “bad” without even realizing it?
Of course no one likes a pessimist…but wouldn’t you eventually become one without even realizing it if you spend so much time telling yourself that all the bad things in this life are actually good?
PMA — then becomes premeditated mental anguish. Logical?

I just started junior year and this year I would like straight A’s. Last year I got straight B’s but I kept procrastinating with my work and becoming lazy by not staying organized. This is me on a regular basis and I don’t like being this way. I tried practicing but sometimes it doesn’t work. Other than practicing what are some ways to get out of these bad habits?

I’m a 51 years old medical professional that has it almost all.
My life is good. Got a good job, money, friends, etc. My life is “set”
I’ve always been a goal oriented person and lately I have none.
Life is boring and “automatic”.
Are there any good books on goal setting? Or how to deal with my goal setting behavior?
Is it normal for a man to want to have goals? I usually look towards short term goals in the 3-6 months range.
