Welcome Back?


"Black is back!  get a sun tan bitch take that!" Favorite Diddy line ever!

UPDATES
Well i'm alive. If you didn't know i had surgery. I received a kidney from the best brother in world. : )
Well after my surgery i took a trip to the west coast, and i laid low in Cali and Vegas. Now i'm back in Texas going back to school in January finishing school in December. Maybe falling in love in may. lol

I deleted my twitter as you all should know by now. I might come back to it i don't know but if you ever want to contact me Phebi33_Woodson@yahoo.com : )

But any who i found out why I procrastinate so much.  It is called "Presently bias"

Anyway we are all presently bias. We all put things off  for a later date. Because our present self always think future self has everything under control.  We believe that future us is smarter, faster, stronger, and all around better equipped to tackle the problems we encounter today that we don't want to handle.  That's why people buy veggies and plan on going on diets and then end up never using the equipment and throwing the veggies away when they go bad. Present us and Future us isn't really that different at all. If you don't want to work out now in a weeks time you still aren't going to want to do it. 90% of us will struggle with this. Over achievers let logic dictate their lives. They don't believe a bird in a hand is worth 2 in a bush. Let me break it down. If offered 50 dollars today or offered 150 dollars 3 years from now the majority of us will take the 50. However the over achievers in life will take the 150 logic dictates to them that 150 is more than 50 plus they wasn't counting on this money anyway so they will have no problem waiting. For the rest of us we could be dead in 3 years we need that 50 now.  This line of thinking goes back to cave men times when their was no such thing as the future. We had to kill now because we had to eat now. Everything was in the now. So some of us evolved and some of us didn't. That is why people who really live their lives by religious beliefs are happier and more successful, because the make better choices. Religion teaches not to live in the now. Don't do all these things that feel good and make you happy because Heaven awaits you in the FUTURE.  The future is cool but you can't live in the future. It doesn't exist. It is just a place we put all our hopes, dreams, and ambitions in.  However, we can't live in the now either.  We can't put everything off on future us. We have to make choices based on logic and not present bias. So as hard as it might be turn down the instant gratification for long term happiness.
