Well its Friday and I’m really getting into the swing of things on this ‘ere blog. For a first week back at work – its been wonderful easing back into things slowly, but I know next week is going to be tough. I’ve got to work the weekend a bit too which hurt the ol’ digital soul of mine too.
Its funny how your mood changes from day to day. Some days I find my mood high, with motivation to match, but others I struggle to find even the smallest grain of impetus.

Oh woe is me.

However, I’m an ideas man, and I get by in life having great ideas and then feel bad because I haven’t done anything about it. Tragic eh? Well I really feel like this should change. I’ve listed the things I want to do and I’ll review this in time to see if I’ve managed it.

1. Write a book
2. Post a viral video phenomenon on YouTube
3. Learn French
4. Get rich
5. Be happy (ok - a bit of a cop out there)
   

What is the difference between people like me and the REALLY successful ones? Surely it cant just be the fact that they have a better start in life, or that they were handed this by accident? I think that people who succeed are the ones who persevere and consistent focus on the goal at hand.

Its like the difference between two basketball players. One gets all the chances to shoot and score, but doesn’t commit to each shot and therefore fails most of the time. The other has practiced day in day out and is able to commit his focus to each and every individual shot. As a result, his career looks brighter and people rightly think he is a better player.

I was about to say I am the first guy, but unfortunately I never get as far as picking up the ball. That is unless someone hands the bastard thing to me and tells me that I need to score. THEN I have motivation….LOL

I have listed some pretty vague goals here but they are titles of the novella that is my existence. And you my friend... YOU are part of one the chapters.

…Or maybe a page number. Who knows… ;)

Til next time,
