Self-empowerment; pretty darn powerful
Reading "Feed" and it's journalistic style of writing has actually made me wanna write more, or have the discipline to write more. Not just redundant daily, look-here's-what-I-had-for-lunch entries, but on issues that touch and interest me on a deeper level. I was compelled to do a Kony 2012 entry before being distracted by last friday's paper. My present goal at hand, albeit not very impressive (finish this goddamn book)'s one of my measures of discipline I've set up.
If I discount the fact that I've (RE)read ONE extra book (the first of THG series) it still doesn't make up for the fact that despite the measly target I've set, I'm nowhere near achieving it. Oh sigh. But it's been a temporary reprieve. I'm.. sitting on yet another set of decisions. And I honestly do feel the weight of our decisions at this age and juncture. Not just cos everything's weighed in terms of monetary value or the cost benefits cross-referenced with time, but also cos every choice we do go with does have a heavy consequence on the turnout of said event/s. Not that dismissive once you put it in that context.
It never can be a "I don't know what to do" situation anymore, because at this point of time, EVERYONE can do something about the situations they're in. No matter how sticky the fix, or how complex the relations, we're empowered to make the cut and start doing something about it. It's just.. taking a while to kick-start from inertia. Still, I should be thankful for the little blessings we do have right now; Zeus has been an amazing companion - this is week 2 and he learnt "hi-5" in a matter of 20 minutes. Pretty darn impressive for a dog whose temperament has been listed as "one of the most stubborn dogs to train". Ha! Adding that onto sit, paw and up commands - all we have left within this week is to toilet-train him. Godknows the dog is cute as hell but his poop smells anything but it.
