So there are some things I want to start doing. I figure its safe enough now that its at least 18 days after people are done running around saying, "I think I'll mary a badger, plant a new president, and build my own pyramid this year."
I dont really want to make any Resolutions. Because, well you never get any Results.
I have noticed though that, although I would not say that I am anal retentive, I do benefit from schedules. Im working out the concepts of Game night with a friend. Scheduling time to play some console RPG's together basically. And now I think I want to progress onto more or maybe less pressing matters. What I want to do with my life. I think I can schedule that in for Tuesdays, not much happens then anyways. Seriously though, a few friends have talked excitedly about sitting down and working on personal projects along the same line that I want to explore. And, after some random thinking, I've decided I might actually take steps toward this If I actively schedule it into my life. So Tuesdays it is.
Ive always told people that Im frightened of working toward my goal. That Im scared, that I might be good at it, or not. Heh, not so much really. I guess I am frightened to an extent. But not that I'll be successful, or an utter failure. I guess the truth is, Im afraid it'll be too much work. Pathetic. Apathetic.
A while ago some one I had never met before, nor have seen since opened up to me for a night, and I participated in turn. She advised that greatness only comes with practice. So I should practice or work toward my dream, everyday. And for many skills this seems self-evident, even if you are incredibly gifted in the subject you still require work, practice, forward movement. Stagnation never made any one successful. After this chance encounter I was gun-ho. For two days.
Recently, several people have asked me about similar things. And, I found as I explained what and where I wanted to take myself with this future, it was less of an explanation and more of an excuse. So, no more excuses. Tuesday nights belong to the future. They belong to a success or a failure or something altogether else, whichever it is, Tuesdays no longer belong to stagnation.
I say all this because I want people to ask me how Im doing with Tuesdays. I hope for encouragements. I ask for understanding if I tell you Im busy on Tuesdays.
So heres to the future,
heres to Tuesdays,
and, maybe heres to me.
