Is it possible to be listless and determined at the same time? This is your question of the week... discuss.

You have just described my life in one sentence.

[domzook]

Okay, but why? What would you say makes you both listless and determined at once? I'm curious about the feeling and how it comes about.

One could be both listless in one's current life, determined to change it, and yet still a bit clueless on how to go about doing so. You know, hypothetically speaking. I've got this, you know, friend... who... yeah.

I am listless in the job that I am doing, since I am good at it, yet bored because it is not stimulating or what I want to be doing. I am determined to not be doing it for the rest of my life. I am listless as the thing I want most to be doing in my life isn't coming as easy as I want it, but determined to position myself in it. I am listless in the fact that I am not the size I want to be and all of my efforts to change it have been fruitless thus far, yet determined to keep up the efforts even without the results. I am listless of sherrardoh's constent attempts to bring me down, yet determined to ignore him.

That wasn't a sentence.

[domzook]

Well, I was kinda hoping for something more than a pithy response. :P

[sherrardoh]

Sorry.

I am always listless and determined. When I feel hungover or generally crappy, I feel determined NOT to get out of bed. =)

[meepblop]

yes...?

I too personify this conundrum. I don't know how exactly to elaborate... I suppose it's a feeling of "I want to do a great many things - someday. And I know I will do them. Just... not right now. Right now I am tired/sick/busy with corporate bullshit/trying to get something smaller done first/getting ready to go to lunch."
