Being and Nothingness

WARNING: THIS POST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JEAN PAUL SATRE. OR PHILOSOPHY AT ALL.

Ms. Stewart said in class if we finish our work, we should have something to occupy our time with, rather than just sitting there doing nothing. She can't seem to comprehend how you can actually have nothing to do. Her being a teacher, and watching my mom work, I can see where she's coming from. But she also mentioned that she knows there are days when you just have to do nothing, even if you have things to get done. I wish I had days like that. But those days are the days I feel fat (I'm not saying I think I'm fat.). Even if I act like I just need to do nothing, I feel awful for sitting around not doing something productive. I wish I had more motivation actually to get off my butt and do something about it.

  1. Jack London said "you can't wait for inspiration - you have to go after it with a club." Same is true of motivation. Pretend you are motivated and you'll find motivation soon enough.
