Recently, I found something that has helped with my motivation to do things in a way I didn’t intend: I started thinking of myself as the Vegeta in my own life.

It started as a joke, almost self-deprecating: I feel like I was much better at doing things when I was younger, but lately feel like I’m falling behind. Any job I really want, I’m just a little under qualified for. I don’t think I’ll ever reach the limit I want when I’m working out and in shape. When I audition for shows, there’s always someone better than me, or more suited to the role. Things like that. I’m like Vegeta, and there’s always a Goku ahead of me.

And then I realized…yeah, but isn’t that okay? Because Vegeta is always second best, but he’s always so motivated to push himself further than he can go. He’ll never be the best, but he’s still great.

And you know what? It worked. I started going back to the gym recently, with the mindset that I’m not going to be the best, but fuck it, I’ll be Vegeta and try harder than anyone else to get the results I want. And I’m more motivated! I’m accomplishing more! I’m pushing past my negative thinking because if Vegeta doesn’t give up, neither will I.
