Drive
I don’t know if I have ever been this excited about what my future holds for me. I feel as though I finally have somewhat of a plan for how to make my life be the life I want it to be.
October seemed to be the worst month I had ever had. I lost Beth and I lost my job, and just about lost a lot of my pride in the process. November’s incredible start is actually showing me that October was the best that ever happened to me.
I have moved on from a very volatile relationship that seemed to suck the good out of me. I love the girl and she will always hold a dear place in my heart, but now that it is over, I feel as though the weight of me trying to hold the entire relationship up on my own is lifted.
I also got a kick in the head in many ways by getting fired. I realized that I was stupid to think I would be a salesman. And I don’t mean that in the sense that I could not succeed as a salesman, but rather, that being a salesman is just not at all what I want to do. I went on a ton of interviews with different companies. I found a good fit, and I went out and got the job I wanted. And after reading the books I have been reading, I feel so much better about my job. Before I was trying to sell people on debt, and now I will be helping people achieve their goals through savings and investment.
I have also realized that life doesn’t just always work out. You have to prepare for set backs and to take charge of my life. A lot of this talk comes from the book I am reading now. It is a much better book on personal finance than the previous book I read. It is called The Total Money Makeover, by Dave Ramsey. The books principle is simple, live within your means and become debt-free. The big difference between this and the previous book I read is that this focuses on taking complete charge of your money and working within a budget. So, now as I head into my first few days at my new job, I am excited to know that every dollar I make will have a plan. But the money aspect is not the only thing that has gotten me so excited. I have been continuing with my workouts, but I have not seen the weight loss that I should have seen. So, I have decided, that its bullshit to put so much work into something just to come home and blow it. I am going to increase my cardio workouts and stop eating all the shit food that has been such a stupid part of my life. I am going to gain complete control of everything in my life. I am going to achieve the goals that I have been wanting but have not put the full effort forth in order to achieve.
A big part of my diet is going be cutting down on my beer intake. I look forward to either going out sober and pushing myself into a party mindset without the alcohol leading my reluctant self into that mindset. Either that, or I’ll stay in more and continue to excite my brain with more and more books. I have set myself a goal to read 16 books this year, and granted with a job it will drastically slow down, but at my recent rate, I’ll be closer to 50 books.
For once instead of dreaming of what I want my future to be like, I am working on getting to that point, and I am going to do the best I can to make the future not too distant at all.
