Why I suck at the Stylelife Challenge

If any of you follow my posts, you will notice that my reports on my experience with the Stylelife Challenge are few and far between. Hell, I haven't made a report on any of them since early August. I have thought about why this is and have narrowed it down to three issues:

1. Suck at time/work management. This has been an issue for me since discovering the game in my Sophomore/Junior year of college (2010-2011). Always tried to pickup early in a semester, then I got busy and locked myself in my dorm to do work, semester ends, I start practicing again, then it got busy and locked myself down in front of books/computer, RINSE & REPEAT! I haven't been able to use this as an excuse much this year because I graduated from college in January. Though I am going back to school for my GIS certification, it does not include as much work as my B.A. Also, I have a part-time job that keeps me busy 7-noon all weekdays...but it is still part time. I feel like I should be less worn out by all this than I am and still be able to do pickup...so I think I suck at organizing myself. Let me know if you guys have suggestion, however I still...

2. Suck at effort and motivation. I am lazy. There. I admit. I am not proud, but it is true. This just isn't hurting my dating life. It hurts me in my diet, workout, guitar practice, school work, even my hygiene on occasion. Honestly, I believe this ties into my above problem. My inconsistent/erratic routines for times of the day. All of these are probably symptoms of a bigger problem though, because I...

3. Suck at seeing value in myself. In a recent post I talked about my therapy session were I realized I do not love myself. I've had some form of depression all my life. At the moment it is mild and I can still function, but I am still depressed. I know that there is no long term fix for this, unfortunately it still hinders me from bettering myself in terms of my love life. Catch 22 I guess (need to read that book).

I tried to go out and do the Day 21 Mission, but the gloomy weather made Day Game pointless. Night game is harder for me now that I have to get up early for work. Got to make my days count. I have thought about going back to do earlier missions because I slacked off for so long. Maybe I should just restart the whole challenge.

Feedback folks?

Gloomy weather made day game pointless????????

Um, mall, grocery store, campus, literally hundreds of other indoor places where you can day game.

MArtial arts would do wonders for you.

So you've identified the problem.

So are you going to do something about it, or are you simply going to make excuses every time and be stuck in the same place six months from now?

Life can change in one second. Once you decide that things are going to be different, once you decide that you will no long tolerate the standard that once was ok, once you decide that THIS is no longer YOU and transform your IDENTITY to the kickass person you really are, NONE of this will be a problem any more!

Your biggest problem is you think you suck. The reality is you are awesome. You just have to start believing that. Once you do, you won't have to worry about dating, women or life.
