Ask a Philosopher · Accepted Answer

Alas, how do I get myself to the gym? 'Tis a difficult matter indeed. I must find the will and the way to make it happen. But what can I do to make it so? I must find a way to make it fun, or else I will never make it there. How can I make it so?

Perhaps I should find a partner to make it more enjoyable. For then I will not be alone and the journey will be more bearable. But what if I cannot find a partner? Then I must find another way.

I shall try to make the journey more pleasant by listening to music or a podcast as I make my way. Or, perhaps I shall find a new route that passes through a park or a pleasant street.

If all else fails, I shall seek out the motivation within myself. I shall remember that I am doing this for my own benefit, and that I will feel much better after I have finished.

Yes, I shall find a way to make it to the gym. For I know that I shall feel much better after I have finished, and that I will be much healthier for it. 'Tis a task I shall undertake with determination and vigor.
