Ramble alert… but it’s a blog, what can you do?
I whinge, you whinge, we all whinge. But a lot of us fail to do something.
I’ve been guilty of doing that when I’m too busy to bother. I could wake up, sit up slowly, yawn, pull my pyjama top down, bite my lips, get out of bed like some zombie, curse at life, join the rat race and let things continue as they are. Then I come home, whinge about how shit life is, how things should be different by now, and then go to bed and restart the cycle the next day.
Or I could wake up quickly, say ‘to hell with it, let’s start afresh’ and fucking do something about it. Urgh, just thinking about doing something about it makes me tired. But I’m tired of one of the things in my life. I’ve reached a point where I’m experiencing déjà vu. I’m at the point where the candle flame in my life is getting weak and I can feel it about to blow out. In order for me to keep it alight, I need motivation. MOTIVATION. INSPIRATION.
When I reach that point it means there’s no fucking way I’m turning back. Must move on. I don’t blame anyone for my lack of motivation. I don’t blame myself, even. Sometimes when you get tired of the same thing you just get tired and that’s that. Know what I mean? It’s no one’s fault. You’re bored, you need change, you must make a decision, and that’s that. You do it, I do it, we all know when enough is enough.
I’ve asked myself today a few times: what can I do to change my situation? I have a handful of options, and I’m going to sit down and deal with each. Time to pull out my business skills: SWOT analysis here I come.
SWOT aka assessing my Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. So, I’m trying to identify all of these and then prioritise my personal goals so I can remind myself of my own abilities, my weaknesses, what I can do and what’s stopping me from doing those things in my life or with my skills.
Then I can plan the next move.
So this weekend, I will be quiet. I will stay offline as long as I can and just think. I’ll try not to let this blog distract me this weekend. Just TH!NK. Change must come, and change means work my ass off to redirect. I want positive thoughts about myself and my life, I need to change some things. No, I will still be blogging and still spill my brain onto the internet. I will still say ‘fuck’ and I will still voice my opinion.
What I’m going to change is what I do away from blogging. It’s time to cut the crap.
If you’ve cut the crap, let us know below, or just share your thoughts on cutting the crap out of life.
