How Easy I Forget

We all have those moments when we feel inspired and motivated to change ourselves for the better. There were numerous times, for example, when I would feel deeply motivated to change my study habits so that I would get better grades. Another example is that feeling you get at church, when you say to yourself, "Ok, I'm gonna change this and that about myself." During these times, I feel good about myself because I feel like I'm on my way to progressing, and there's nothing that can stop me.

Then the moment goes away.

A week later, I start skipping classes, I procrastinate schoolwork, and revert to my old "not-living-up-to-my-potential" self. A few days after Sunday, I stop reading the Bible and my prayers become more and more repetetive. Motivation and resolve: M.I.A.

I really wish I can maintain that gung-ho feeling everyday.
