I am doing a bit more now with the drawing and painting. Not as much as I want to. There is so much to do, and so much potential, yet the key is simply to actually do it. But it is not so simple, see? The potential is pre-existing, but the capability is trained. And who is responsible for disciplining us? Parents? Teachers? Perhaps, at one point or another in our lives. But after certain years, say, 20, to be generous, why is it that you cannot consciously take it upon yourself to train your actions?

Story for example. Friend J and I could not run around a block, and we started running, trying to be each other's running buddy. You know how important a buddy is for that. Soon I gave in to sloth, while friend persisted, and found other buddies. 2 years later, now, friend is running marathon of 26 miles, while I still cannot run around a block. One did continue to run, and one did not. It is all in our own decisions.
