For years I've been collecting and gathering texts and methods on how to boost the brain, get my concentration up, and in general squeezing more than the 10%-20% of regular human usage of that big lump between my ears.
Thing is, I have low concentration and a worse sense of self-motivation.. so I just gathered, collected and saved. I never really took an actual course, and since the material/books are all there - I can always fool myself and say that I can read it at any given time. (and of course, that time never comes)
Now as a part of my renewed desire to better myself, I take a look at courses and try my best not to find faults and inhibitors to taking at least one.
Throughout the years, I've been told about the big potential I hold, and that I never actually fulfill. I came to think of myself as simply lazy, or just not cut out for studying and assimilating information the traditional way.Today I am more inclined to think that I have some kind of learning disability / disabilities. I never actually had it diagnosed, but I fit most if not all of the usual symptoms.
When I complain, even to myself about it, I feel a bit ashamed. After all, I'm mostly healthy, I got a nice job, I'm able to provide for myself and more, I got my own (or almost my own) apartment, a car.. that's a lot and I should and am appreciative of it.
I think it's the bane of human existence - we always want more. More money, more belongings, more vacation time, more of everything. We are never really feel satisfied, and that's the driving force that moves human kind forward.
So, maybe its both a blessing and a curse?
