How do you deal with motivational ruts? You have your long term and short term goals, you have a life purpose, you understand about ego backlash. Despite this all you want to do is sit on the couch and eat pizza.

@Surfingthewave

You do what's emotionally most difficult. There's no way out of it. You either do it or you don't. There are no theories that can get you off the couch. Sure somethings can motivate you and get you to take action short term, but what you have to understand is motivation is temporary and many times motivation will grow to be repetitive. So its you that has to stick your head down like a bitch and follow through on the tasks you set up for yourself.

Why is there still some kind of fear when facing the enormity of the Absolute, when you know (in your mind) a whole lot of things about it, in a sense you are prepared or you know what you are up against to and you are willing to go towards this and you even may have several quite contrasted experiences (of course you don't "know" exactly until you become it, otherwise it would be much more "easier") but how come it feels so difficult to surrender when you actually want it?

Do we produce weaker and weaker generation due to comfort level? Were we are going from here? - we make all the efforts to avoid pain, but pain equals growth (at least to some extent) 

Does it make sense?

How to overcome the feeling that I can never truly transform? It feels like I can never actually change myself, I seem to always slip back to old patterns despite making massive changes in short time frames.
