A week of reflection. Vol 20: Sept 9, 2018
Monday: If a door slams in our face we try the door knob, if it’s locked we attempt to pick it, and if all else fails we kick it the fuck down and keep moving. Success is all about figuring out a way to get over the barriers in our lives, and so unless we get hit by a bus, we have no reason to stop trying.
…
Tuesday: We will know the moment, it will be hard to miss as it will hit us like a ton of bricks. The elders at a retirement home can attest to that specific feeling of dread. A feeling of knowing those missed chances, and opportunities that will never return. Our dreams are alive while we feel alive, so we better start realizing them now or forever be in a state of regret.
…
Wednesday: I tend to look at focus as being that initial “gateway drug”, because the moment I focus on something and spend even 10 min on it, I automatically start obsessing. This can be a great thing if we don’t over do it, because we all know what happens when we drink too many shots of vodka!
…
Thursday: When we start off our lives we have so many possibilities, the dreams are endless and responsibilities few. As we get older we pick up items to add to our daily routines, and before we know it our daily grind is spoken for. Well fuck that — that’s no way to live, we must make time for ourselves, and respect our dreams.
…
Friday: No matter how hopeless and stuck we may feel, we must keep moving forward. There is nothing worse than over thinking the little things and killing that delicate balance between getting things done and sitting around waiting for things to happen.
…
Saturday: The thing about life is that the only option is to move forward, there is no other direction. Sure we can sit around and wait for things to happen, but we aren’t getting younger doing it. Today is the day we are at our youngest, and today is the day we should plant whatever it is we want to grow.
…
Sunday: To me survival is all about getting through the day and doing everything I can to make tomorrow slightly better than today. The moment I can sit down, put my feet up in the evening and realize that every single thing I did that day was because I wanted to do it and not because I had to, will be a great day.
