I’ve never even heard of this before tho??? Wtf??????????
oh my god, I didn’t think there were any surviving versions of this post left
For those who weren’t around in the Deep Lore times, this is one of the relics of the editable post era. This post has THE SINGLE HIGHEST NOTES of ANY post on this site, bar none, but with more than a dozen variations. Every single post you’ve ever seen with more than 3 million notes has been a different version of this one.
This is the “Dean’s Gym Shorts” post. This is the Flubber post. This is the original “Reblog if you support gay people” post. it was ALL of them. before half the site got nuked, it had even more notes than it has now - at one point, well over 15 million, and that was years ago.
This, with no exaggeration, is the ONE TRUE heritage post
World Heritage Post
I don’t usually deviate from horse or fitness/wellness related content, but damn. Tumblr is a trip sometimes!
What are you doing? Scrolling through TikTok and Instagram first thing in the morning? Staring at your dreams through pixels, when you could be living them? You know what has to be done to achieve it, but you’ll never get it if you keep making excuses.
You want a better body? Eat cleaner and go to the gym REGULARLY.
You want clearer skin? Start and MAINTAIN a consistent skincare routine?
You want to be good at playing guitar? Play a little bit EVERY DAY.
You want to get into that college? Put in the hours of study that are NEEDED.
All those people who you see and get jealous of didn’t get there in one day. They worked on themselves constantly. They got there through sheer persistence and consistency. You don’t become better magically. You TAKE ACTION.
Discipline is a skill you cultivate, it’s not a talent. I wake up at 5:30 in the morning EVERY DAY because I made myself get out of bed when my alarm went off. I’m getting good at Spanish, because I do my lessons EVERY DAY, without fail. I’m getting the body of my dreams because I make conscious choices to be healthy EVERY DAY.
I’ve been seeing self-help advice like “Oh, just be confident!” “Love yourself the way you are!”
Yeah, no shit, but it’s hard to be confident when you don’t feel good in your own skin. If it’s something that can’t be changed, acceptance will take time. But if it’s something that YOU can change, why aren’t you doing that? The gym is right around the corner, you don’t need 20 more minutes of Netflix or TikTok. Stop making excuses for a lazy version of yourself.
You deserve better. And only you can get yourself the best things if you stop staying passive and make real changes to your life.
I know this isn’t like my usual posts, but I had this revelation about 2 nights ago and while being soft with yourself is good and all, you need to mentally snap yourself out of choosing the easy way out.
