When it gets tough, what do you do?
 

when things just dont go the way u want. whether it is here or in life.. what puts u in ur place?

what sets u back on course with what u want to accomplish?

i lack motivation now. and i cant rebound from it.

I call my mom.

Throw a fit, suck my thumb, and weep softly in the corner on my favorite stool.

Just start a new project, or jump on an old one, either brings back excitement. (Successful with work and women.)

run away

What I do: Do nothing all day long and smoke LOTS of weed.. That usually makes me feel so fucked up that I'm motivated again the next day just because I'm scared by the idea of pissing my life away

:2 cents:

try to concentrate on not putting too much pressure on any problem. try to accept the reality that life is not always good and these are just mere challenges that others experience as well.

Weed, beer, girls - this will relax you.
On the next day take 50 mushrooms - after that you'll have a bad depression and you'll want to work hard :1orglaugh

i think about my daughter and how expensive college will be when she graduates. or i think about all the people who drive around in 70k cars and live in multi million dollars cars who really haven't earned that type of money.

Dude wtf.. Just remember, such is life.. shit happends.. things dont always go as planned. You just have to suck it up and continue, it happends to EVERYONE.. regardless if people will admit it or not.. just smoke a cig.. say fuck it.. and continue

just remember, This too shall pass!

fag..
is that from john maxwell or dale carnegie?

I put on "Anarchy in the UK" by the Sex Pistols
Full blast

Music, man.

Take some relaxing music and go here

I just take a day off from the net and all its trappings, go out for while with some friends that arent webmasters / computer heads and just have a few beers, burn some and then head back home.

Usually a day away from the game makes you get a fresh view on things that really are just hanging you up and pissing you off.

Lately, I have been into mountain biking and hitting some really wild trails on days where I want to toss in the towel and say fuck it. Ride the stress / pissed off feelings out of you.

that looks like a long swim

I try to hang out with my friends a lot...

But the best way I found was to disconnect totally..
Go away...

pack some clothes. burn some CD's. withdraw some money. Take your keys. Hop in your car and Drive away for as long as it takes :)


usually a small 3-5 hour trip to my family, alone, does it for me for the not so huge probs...

But, I was burnt back in 2001... I took off for a trip through Canada all the way to Vancouver with an Ex Girlfriend.... 3 weeks...

I came back wanting more... really ready to take on the world :)


Same thing last Holliday, was not feeling too well... I drove all the way from Montreal to San Diego for work, cleared up my mind..

why dont you think they earned it?

Yeah I think I agree with what a few people said about taking a vacation.

when things get tough I play tough
