Get that MOTHERFUCKING JUUUUUUUUUICE
I don’t feel good today.
I feel awful. I want to be unalive.
But I know I won’t always feel this way.
This too, shall pass.
All I can do is hope and pray every day. It’s out of my hands at this point.
So today, I’ll try and focus on the things that I can control.
I will try and obtain the juice, so that I may obtain the fire.
Lord knows I have limitless potential when properly loved and inspired.
Thank you, juice man.

Magnifying glass. I also had to read the comments for the answer
Bland-fantasie t1_j8iemoz wrote
Oh thanks. Well then I’ll say sarcastically that this is a great life lesson/metaphor:
-No lens in the magnifying glass, so the tool is “broken.” Light isn’t refracted either; there is actually no lens.
-Doesn’t require practice to do it if you see or hear about it once.
-Extremely minimal effort to light the fire if you have a functioning version of this tool.
Zyrr2 t1_j8igcj0 wrote
There is a glass, look closely. I don't think it's bad either.
Focus your potential (with whatever tool works for you) on something to get a result. Or don't focus it and get no results.
I can relate.

Have you tried asking in r/pokemonshowdown ?
soiramio3000 t1_j8jozxg wrote
Ask what exactly?
If you are talking about the "rate my team"posts they are useless, they are mostly ignored and when people respond to them they give advice that benefits the team very little.
If I ask for team building tips in general then they will jist tell me to watch a video or read an article.
Someone just yesterday told me in the smogon forums that "Teambuilding is a skill you build upon through experience and metagame knowledge. Its simply practice on what you want to build around, your offensive/defensive cores, pivots, hazards, etc."
This info is not helpful at all.
catfink1664 t1_j8jpkun wrote
I agree, it isn’t. Ask them if they know of good videos and articles for improving your game
soiramio3000 t1_j8jr8q1 wrote
There aren't any videos or articles that help you. I looked it up.
They are all giving you surface level information like what a wallbreak and a revenge killer is and what then they expect you to figure out everything on your own.
ehho t1_j8jtldc wrote
I don't know anything about that game in particular so what i say may or may not apply.
They say that you need 10.000 hours of practice to master something. Anything. 10.000 hours is roughly 10 years.
I played league of legends and chess for that amount of time and still sucked. The reason i didn't improve is because when they say practice, they mean hard work, which is different than just playing around.
When i wanted to improve i spent more time analying my games, finding mistakes teying to figure out to fix them for the next time. Only when i had no solution i googled wuat othera did in that specific example. Another thing i did was look for chess and LoL guides, video explanations, spent 30-60minus practicing specific skills i lacked. I more about games itself, read ever patch of LoL, general important things about stages of the game, general strategies,... Lastly, i found a communities, played with them, exchanged advice and references, asked for tips,...
I did slowly but consistently get better, however, peronally, it took out all the fun out of the game and i don't have ambitions of becoming a pro player. So i stopped practicing and just continued playing for fun.amd with that, my progress also stopped.
I believe that all pros spent a lot of time practicing hard, and if you want to stay competitive you need to not only beat them in practice, but also find an edge anywhere you can.
I don't know if this reply is useful to you but i wish you find a way to break the plateau and continue growing as a player.
RoosterBrewster t1_j8leioh wrote
Yep, it's all about deliberate practice. I hear some people at the gym say they'll never be able to look like some top bodybuilders. So they just half-ass their workout and never improve. They may not have won the genetic lottery plus steroids, but they discount the tremendous effort put in to get there.

You won't be the best but if you properly practice anything, even out of your league, you won't be terrible either.
It's a difference between whether others outclass you or you outclass others. If you put in the work, you can do anything at some level.
Sure, you want to find out what you can do best and work to get to said best. But not everyone is lucky enough, some just need to take what they can do and optimize that.

TDA792 t1_j8i5ljb wrote
Oh god, I've been there. Trust me friend, its not worth the effort.
I played a lot of Pokémon Showdown (the online, unofficial browser-based competitive battling scene) back around gen6. It gave me an understanding of IVs and EVs, as well as the kind of movesets and types that are good for walls/stalling/trolling/tanking/etc etc.
But it was impossible - even though I played probably many thousands of games, my ranking never really increased. I got much better at predicting attack patterns, for example I could recognise that someone was going to bring out a mon and use a particular move, so I'd switch to a different Pokémon that would resist it. But if I wanted to climb, I had to restrict myself to using only a couple of different Pokémon, essentially abandoning using my favourites which I had been using up til then. I didn't want to do that, as it felt against the spirit of the game. So my rating remained stagnant.
I sort of fell off after gen7 and 8 were released, and have since gotten into Chess. Much more straightforward, everyone has the same pieces and it truly is about skill rather than team composition etc.. ...my rating has improved by several hundred points after about 6 months of consistent play.

Motivation doesn't magic an extra hour in the day. It doesn't pay the bills. For people working 55 hour manual jobs to get by, no ammount of motivation allows them to pursue their potential in anything. Especially when most things cost money on top of that. Any sport, painting anything. Costs MONEY.

One of the best advice I heard is to not tell someone he/she is smart, but rather say "you're a hard worker", especially to a child. Telling someone he or she is smart subconsciously tells the person they don't need to work hard then, if talent and smartness comes natural without putting an ounce of effort. By telling someone they're hard worker instead, it makes the person think that to keep up, they must keep practicing! I wish someone told me otherwise that when I was younger!

Ehh I feel like the "daily" part often leads to more demotivation than motivation. Life happens, other things take your attention, and some days you may not have the energy to do whatever it is- so you either have to force yourself in a non-productive way or miss a day then stress about "catching up"
The hardest part is starting but after that it's dedication. That doesn't necessarily mean doing it every day or sticking to a certain routine. It means you keep trying even when things don't go to plan.

You don't need daily practice to know a magnifying glass under the sun can start fires, this is public knowledge, who the fuck is practicing that.
Also, it's be much more efficient and reasonable to just use a lighter, alternatively
if you wanted to attempt to make this imagery work, starting a fire with wood rubbing would be extremely inefficient, however extremely practical in survival situations. Because it's inefficient, it takes practice to get good at it.

It’s been fun so far but my finger tips are fucking wrecked lol.
If anyone likes Ween and plays guitar I made a tab book because you can’t actually buy one anywhere. I’m happy to email it for free. If you wanna kick me a few bucks that’s cool too but I don’t expect anything. It’s about 100 songs. DM me your email if you want them. Happy to share the love. Hail Boognish!

I need to make a plan. A routine. Ideas come out at random. No order to my day. Work blends into doing house work back to working totally distracted. Oof.

I think the biggest issue is working without potential, being at action without purpose.
There's a great many people hard at work so they don't have to think or feel anything.
