Why am I posting this? Because it is incomplete.
Time and again, this is my brain at work, or not working as is truly what is happening here. What was I aiming to achieve when I started? Something discussing dreams and ambitions, but when it comes to my life this changes with the wind.
All I've done is fall into the procrastination that I knew would present itself at some point. And while doing things, the some point is never very far away.
When considering procrastination and assuming it will happen, it becomes a double blow that pulls you further and further into the trap of inaction. Am I 'designed' this way? Can I possibly escape this mess? I don't know. The side problem to this is of course freedom of the will. If we don't have that, we might be bound to events and everything else; the self loses the importance it tends to place on its shoulders.
Someone said that attitude counts for a lot, and perhaps it does. If you have a positive attitude, then you might convince your own mind to go the distance. But, I would largely suggest the right attitude will only come with the right environment and disposition to move that way.
When looking at human action, I think we do struggle to attain the positive things in life. We make it our goal to gain the good, and weed out the bad. It is almost the natural process of elimination; that we look for the good in everything we do. This is possibly the biggest driver of life in general. If it wasn't for this, I doubt life could exist.
The 'good' is held subjectively. Each being has their own scale and their own driver, to which the same structure or values does not match 100% with any other being. Each is unique.
The taming factor of all this search for the good is objective reality. It will always present you with a wall to your dreaming. The limits of reality allows you to do only so much of the good you dream, but however, it is the realm that lets you live to dream.
Anyway, I have managed to get something out of this somehow, which I'll try to analyse and get nowhere.
The original post is below, and as you can see, it is half completed and I don't think I will finish it.
We're all ephemeral and somewhere out there is a mid-youth crisis
I'm gonna stand on top of the world, and see who's pulling those strings, and find out what the hell is going on. I'm gonna know everything. I'm gonna feel happy at the top.
I'm gonna be the one to tell everyone what everything is all about.
Oh, and I'm gonna complete every task I start—I'm gonna be a superstar.
Meanwhile, back on Earth:
I want to stand on top of the world, and I do want knowledge. But I'll only ever want what is interesting, and that will always be fleeting. The quickly, and ever changing (ever changing whilst I breathe anyway), i
Change, a necessary element in my life.
The recurring question—why bother? Why bother with anything? What's the reason for everything? Why am I asking questions? I don't really need a reason.

Looking at myself, why do I like what I like and want what I want. Freedom of the will?
