Well, this morning is yet another awesome morning. I woke up feeling good so I decided to treat myself to breakfast. I'm off so why not. I decided to go to The Egg & I (its in Hoover right across from where Walmart use to be on Hwy 31). I am still here but once I leave, I am headed to Barnes and Noble to work on my articles and novel. Yes it my day off but yet I am still putting in a lot of time and effort to make things happen for myself.
When I heard someone say that when you do something you love its not work, I never imagined I would experience it. And it is so true. I spend a lot of time writing and designing websites and not once do I ever get tired of doing it. I utilize my blackberry to the fullest. I take notes, I write quotes and from time to time I even post to my blog from it. I absolutely love to write. The reason why I am expressing this is because believe it or not I just realized how much I really enjoy writing and being creative (web design). I woke up yesterday morning with this feeling that I just can't describe. It was almost like I was a new person. My desire to write was greater than its ever been. My focus was a whole lot better. Its more to it than just what I am saying but I just can't put it into words.
When I got off work yesterday, I stopped by Bonefish Grill to have a drink to relax myself because I was letting the pressure of getting everything done quickly overwhelm me. Usually when I get like this, I can't write at all. Well,while I was there the bartender said "you look like you have a lot on your mind." I told him that I did and as soon as I said that, I picked up my phone and began writing everything that was on my mind. I ended up writing a poem, an article and my own personal slogan (which I will share later). I did this within the time frame it takes the average person to drink two beers. After I finished the beers, I took off and headed home.
When you feel like you can't get certain things done because of certain circumstances just ask yourself this question,"Can I just drop what I'm doing now and get what I need to get done, done?" If you answer yes to this question, you have no excuse for doing what you want and NEED to do. I could have easily just went home and laid on the couch, watched tv and gone to sleep. But I didn't. I used the time when I was drinking beers to make life better for myself. Use the time that you have to get things done. This might mean cutting the tv off and not watching your favorite show. Now ask your self this question,"Does your favorite show provide any input on getting the things done that NEED to get done according to your life-work load?" The answer to that question is NO. If its not adding, then why is it a must that you watch it over getting things done that NEED to be done? Once you figure this out, you are well on your way to changing your life tremendously!
