My father is in his early 50s and very quickly losing his sight do to numerous conditions, it's depressing as fuck, it's scary, in a year or so he'll be completely blind

My father is currently doing random DIY things around the house, any other time in previous years he would paid a professional to do it, but he said he wants to do it himself, "while he still can"

Might not sound a lot to you reading this, but to me.. holy fuck, right now I feel absolutely disgusted with myself if the mentality of putting things off or being lazy creeps in

>>41461480
Low self esteem and trying to compensate in every way. Wanting to be proud of myself. Trying to get ready if shit ever hits the fan.

>>41461579

>>41461480
I just think it's the right thing to do.
Also >>41461579

Fear of stagnation, fear of waisting my youth and potential to be the best that i can be.

another theory is that deep down we all want acceptance from others and if I get strong/hot/big/dangerous enough, nobody will abandon me or hurt me again.

Got bullied really hard as a kid ( used to be 130 pounds at 6ft) ugly and shy
now i am 200lbs , i can fight, i have nice body and even my face looks okayish
Banged numerous sluts since
Still empty inside from years of home abuse and bullying
>atleast i can bench 3 plates r-right guys

>>41461480
I fear having a weak point. I'm afraid if there is something about myself that I am not trying to perfect, people will notice and judge me poorly. It could be being out of shape, being unintelligent, being bad with money, not having any skills. I feel if I am short in one thing, I look like shit overall and might as well be dead.

To reach my goal body and walk around and go to random places with my shirt off in the summer, warm breeze at my back and doing whatever I please as all the women around me lust for me and all the men around me wish to be me

The same way I use to have carefree summers in my childhood, just doing random and meeting new people and friends. But that isn't possible in my current state until I reach my goal body. Too self conscious and not confident enough. I need to be the best myself has to offer to enjoy like carefree like that again. Even after cutting down from 270lbs to 170lbs my body looks weird as fuck and I need to build muscle back up to fix some imbalances and weak muscle groups and fill some loose/stretched skin. I'm starting to consider roiding more and more everyday. I want the summer of my dreams

I was bullied growing up and am now becoming everything people said I couldn't.

It's a good feeling. Nothing is more satisfying than the people who used to look down on you messaging you on LinkedIn for job connections, or girls who made fun of you in high school trying to sleep with you when you go home.

I wanna be him, he's strong, people look up to him.
He cares for his comrades and is overall a good person.

My bodyweight was 56 kg and hated my body.

Now I am 22 yo, 78kg, muscular,strong,confident.
The gym changed my life for the better and I will never stop, because stopping means not progressing.

Thank you for asking that question, OP.

I'll get back to you. Unless I don't, but just know that this question helped me focus my thinking.

Being better than everyone else

>>41462072
I'm 18 and I feel the same way about it. Just clean up your diet and lift for 6 months before you join a gym. Start stretching asap. They do a lot of stretching and cardio in conjunction with strength training, technique, and mentality. It all doesn't matter if you can't take a hit, either.

>>41461528

I started off lifting for >girls like most people. but when I started to get compliments from friends and family, which eventually turned to them trying to sabotage me because they can't stand seeing me succeed while they fail only motivates me more

I want to walk in a room and know I'm the strongest, I want to be the most attractive, I want to radiate sheer seething fucking confidence

>>41461480

Long term? Health. Currently seeing my mom's body break down after years of obesity and sedentary lifestyle. Cancer. Heart disease. Lack of mobility. That will never be me.

Short term? I want to be better than everyone else around me. I was to make people feel insecure. I want my fiance's friend and sister to be jealous of her. I want my mother in law to feel my arms and make comments about my body at the lake. I want to deny roasties at the office who take a pass at me at the company get away after everyone's had a few beers. I want to embarrass other guys at the beach. Most of these things already happen after 2+ years of lifting while staying lean but I think this year or next I will become genuinely irresistible for a 6-8/10 girl. I want them all to regret not picking me.

I'm not that Anon but a med student, you don't need to be smart to go trough Med school, you will be amassed at the amount of genuinely dumb people you'll see, you just need a lot of will and organisation to study 5, 6, even 8 hours a day almost everyday. The rest is just memorisation

>>41467766

yep, in the states. didn't start doing it seriously until i was 25, graduating this thursday. it's hard work, but if it's something that you really, truly love and enjoy, it's not actually work, you know?

honestly, best thing you can do is take some time off, try to job shadow in lots of fields, and make sure you want to do whatever you're going to school for. wish they'd teach that in high school, rather than shoving you out the door and into student debt for a degree that very well may be worthless/not enjoyable once you're done- i learned the hard way.

Thanks lads. My organisation is kind of shit, especially procrastination, and I have brain fog so that's mainly what I'm worried about. I'm trying to become more disciplined and getting /fit/ is part of that. I'm glad to hear you don't have to be a genius to go that far though. I'm not dumb but I'm scatterbrained af. For a bachelor I was thinking of doing something like pharmacy or nursing or the like. Basically a career that I can pursue in case I can't make it into med for whatever reason. My goal now is to trying to actually enjoy work. Sort of to treat it as something good and useful and enjoyable instead of slogging through it. I imagine that's going to help for later.

nothing, i've been browsing this board for two days now and have no idea what to do

I have no motivation to be honest. It's just something I feel like I have to do to consider myself a real man.

>>41467910
do nursing. you can get your bachelor's degree, then transition into a doctoral program and be a nurse practitioner or a nurse anesthetist in less time than becoming a full-on physician by far. they make bank still, have better/more hiring options, much better student loans/grants/scholarships/repayment options, and the schooling is much more focused, and much faster.

>>41461480

>>41461480
Swoleleft really got me into strength training. I'm really just trying to do right and help my fellow man if they need it.

>>41467953
I was considering that but I really want to go all the way. I'll look into it though, thanks for the advice. I guess it would work out well for a 2nd option in case the first thing fails.

>>41467932
Have you read the sticky?

So I can look in the mirror and be proud of my hard work physically since I overcame my mental NEET and graduated.

>>41467953

>>41467972
just a heads up, most universities have literally no cross-over between medical/nursing/pharmacy. nursing just offers the greatest range of 'advanced' careers from the start, and better transitions. plus, as a dude, you get in easily. state-depending, a nurse practitioner has as much authority and autonomy as a doctor, there's really no difference in scope of practice (and hell, you still even have the title)

good luck either way anon- find your calling, and crush it.

You're going to die one day and doing anything good will only benefit you, no excuse to lay around. Talk to some older guys and you realize really fast that being young and wasting your time is probably the dumbest thing you can possibly do. If you need motivation to try in life then you need to see a psychiatrist or talk to some older guys who would give anything to be even just under 40 again, let alone 20s.

So I can become a better person. Also to achieve this

>>41467998
go nursing then. there's much, much better outreach and connection with patients. they'll connect and communicate with you on a level that a doctor will never get. there's a lot more you can do with a patient beyond 'take this medicine' as a nurse, and that's what a good bit of the schooling is about- not to say doctors don't do that, but nursing is the most trusted profession (by far) for a reason.

>>41468004
Thanks. Anons like you really help. I want to start off properly and waste as little time as possible, and funnily enough, I get the best advice/motivation here. I do realise there isn't any crossover between programs but I want to take something that will prepare me as best as possible for med. I'm not sure what it's like in the states but here in canada if my GPA is good enough I could get a bachelor in sociology or music or whatever and still be accepted to med.
Still, thanks for the kind words. Every morning I wake up with a sort of deep terror that I'm not good enough/smart enough so hearing that you don't have to be a genius really helps.

I got fucked with so much in school and by my older crackhead brother when I was younger that maybe I can become so strong than nobody is ever going to fuck with me again.

Also I have a desk job and really enjoy being active.

It goes back and forth between wanting to show the girl who rejected me way back when that she was wrong to do so, to wanting to impress those in my life, to wanting to be impressive to people I meet for the first time.

Sometimes I get a glimpse behind the mask and realize that the person I actually want to impress is myself, and my desire to impress others is just a superimposition of my desire to impress me.

>>41461480
Being better than everyone else. Si.ple as that.

>>41468041
Alright, I'll look into it. Not to lie I kind of shy away from nursing just because of the title. I know it sounds stupid but I feel like being a GP holds more weight that a specialized nurse. Not for other people but for me. I should probably put that out of my head.

I just got out of a 6 year relationship with a spergy ex, dont get me wrong i was into her but she had no idea how to do a sex and she only got crazier after she graduated college. she moved away and i didn't even get to hash it out with her. I was weak and let my fetish and beta demeanor hold me back. now I want to better myself physically and socially so that I can enjoy life and she and her shitty family can watch from the facebook shadows.

tlrd: I use my deep anger to quell the emptiness inside me and lift myself to the other side

My friend's dad died of cancer this year
My work colleague died of a brain aneurysm at age 35
My other work colleague just had his sister die, yesterday, she was on a life support machine after also having a brain aneurysm. His other sister died from an intentional drugs overdose a long time ago.

I've lived a pretty sheltered life, I have a small family and everyone is healthy, no family members of mine have died while I've been alive and I'm 25. Except for my great grandmother who died while I was very young.

It's like I'm late to the realisation that life isn't guaranteed, people die unexpectedly all the time.

Quite often I find myself having a debate with myself, when I'm feeling lazy, when I say to myself "meh, I don't really feel like doing anything today" ... really? You could literally be dead by 35. Even if you use the logic of "well that's unlikely, odds are I'll live to be 80" ... ok? that still doesn't make it ok to be a lazy retard living a meaningless, joyless, boring life of watching TV

We seriously need to make this count, life is meant to be fun, and on one hand you don't want to take it too seriously, but on the other hand this is serious a fuck, just imagine being diagnosed with cancer at 40, knowing you only have a year left to live, and having to spend that final year suffering not only from physical pain but suffering from all the regret, the regret of all those wasted days you gave in and said "meh, i'm not going to do anything today, i'll just watch tv, it's only one day"

You're young, "I dont have the energy" isn't an excuse, youre 25, if you don't have the energy now WHEN THE FUCK will you? Do you think you'll magically just hop out of bed one day at the age of 40 full of energy and motivation and THEN you'll finally start living your life?

i'm with you mang, geralt is my ideal body.

I just want to be aesthetic for the sake of it.

>>41461480
Killing and destroying every other life on earth. I train like special forces and learn everything I can. My objective is to kill efficiently and as quickly as possible.

>>41461480
I don't think I'll ever find meaning in my life without looking in peak physical health.

For my son wife and the Gods of Olympus.

Also cause I don't want to have a problems with my body in the future.

>>41461480
That one day I'll have enough money to move deep into isolation and watch world war 3 from a comfy bunker.

I live for this anon.

>>41461480
I need something to do with my time and lifting feels good
If I don't keep myself occupied I'm likely to blow my head off t b h famalam

>>41473764
why the fuck would you lift for your daughter-in-law? planning on cucking your son?

I was tired of being the weak one who everyone doubted, I decided to make a change

>>41461480
20% Pride in my potential (no birth defects, mental illness, or things holding me back that are out of my control), 40% Spite for the people who have talked s=down to me and thought was worthless, 30% Drive to make myself better, 10% Her, The most beautiful woman i've ever met, and she rejected me the first time I tried to ask her on a date, but I'll try again, and prove my worth. This applies to all of my life: fitness, goal setting, seeking intelligence, etc. Call me delusional, but only good things have come out of this mindset for me.

>>41470921
What part of it is childish?

>>41473808
Different fag here, its not, I have the response above yours and mine is more delusional that yours is, but I would argue that if it makes you a better persona and achieve your goals, then its valid enough for you to continue doing what you're doing so long s you dont hurt others in the process.

Everyone knows that He was Jewish. I've never met someone who honestly thought He was white in 26 years of life in the Bible Belt.
But portraying Him as very attractive according to the aesthetic standards of your society is quite natural. It's familiar and comforting. In Europe and America, He's more often shown as white. There's African art of Him being black, Eastern art of Him as an Asian, etc.

Also, that's based off the Shroud of Turin. Pic related

Fear of wasting my youth big time.

I thought it's a noble goal. The way I see it is someone has to be strong to protect those who can't protect themselves. I also use It to curve habits and behaviors that are legit degenerate

To crush my enemies, to see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

A few reasons:

>so I can preform well in partisan street fights
>so I can back up my political opinions
>so prison doesn't seem like such a scary potentiality
>so I can protect the people that matter to me
>so I can make all of my ex-girlfriends regret their skelington husbands

I also unironically believe that a massive civil war is just around the corner so that helps a lot.

>>41473781
Yes. Just like in Greek Legends. I will probably turn in to a Bull and impregnate her.

An unrelenting fear of death
