A lot has slowed down off late. The motivation to do great things such as succeed at a fast pace are slowly getting dimmer. I wonder if this is because I am in love. I mean is this because I am slowly falling into the complacency of believing that someone else will take care of me? Does that mean that my ambition stems from all thins superficial? Does this mean that I am truly driven to do great things and learn and be a good professional? What does this mean? And why am I scared of this feeling? I don’t want to become completely dependant on someone else. i don’t want to find my meaning through them. I need to be me and I need to be proud of who I am.
Am I over-reacting? Is this slow down because I am becoming accustomed to the pace of the world and have realised that even success comes at a slow pace? Is it because I have realised that things come only when they have to and we can’t expect them before their time? Is it because I have realised that there is no short cut to hard work and I need to work hard first and foremost before i expect any reward?
Or is it because I have truly become lazy? I think it might be a combination of the two because in all fairness it would be wrong to say I am not doing my little bit to look for a new job and get myself qualified. Maybe I need to both constantly find my inner motivation and regularly feed it and also move with the tide. And maybe beginning to feel a complacency/dependancy in love is actually comfort and security. I don’t know why that last bit is still a scary though also a very inviting prospect.
Maybe am just going to end up like any other girl. Scary. Very scary.

Motivation comes in peaks and troughs, I’m sure you’ll find you ambition again!
Love leading to complacency/dependancy… seems like you are looking through a jaundiced lens : )
It also leads to companionship/caring which enhances self esteem and confidence…
@IMM: Ur right…that was jaundiced. Thanks tho! :)
I agree with rosietinted. I’ve always felt it came in peaks and troughs. Some days I’m amazed at all the great ideas I have and most others I wonder why they’re all so bad.
Being in love can change you sometimes, because you feel that the worst is no longer so bad or scary, that you would still be happy .
ha ha… balance is the keyword baby!
