Pretty great day! It’s weird…I feel like I may have matured a fair bit while doing to bed/waking up yesterday/this morning.
I just feel like I shouldn’t judge other people no matter their cicumstances. Meaning, I shouldn’t just expect people to start working towards success because that’s their life & not mine. People get trapped, it’s not common to get out. I’m one of the few who had being making great change to better my life. That doesn’t make me better than other people. I just know how to think objectivley.
I feel like all the frusterating arguments I had with myself over my life don’t matter anymore. Or the things I was embarrassed for or felt guilty when everyone else already forgave me.
I think part of this maturing is not necessarily forgiving myself, but more just moving on and realizing that shit doesn’t matter anymore and never really did after I originally appologized more than 3/4 of my life ago for some things.
I’m in the midst of accepting that things don’t happen over night. Yah, so what if I have litteraly about 5 huge tasks, 10 medium tasks, 30 small tasks, and daily tasks to do. This is part of the road to success. It’s inhuman to just accomplish all of those in 1 day let alone half a year.
I’m starting to truly be proud of myself for my daily accomplishments.
Maybe I’ll come up with an actual work schedule soon. I’ve read that if you can work 2-3 hours of focused work that you’ll get A LOT done.
But, I have been so used to “working” pretty much every waking second I’m at home and not out playing Pokemon Go. What I mean by this is watching videos, reading threads, and taking just a little bit if action.
I honestly have accumulated so much knowledge over the years. I don’t need to learn much more in terms of internet marketing or personal development until I made the changes I know I need to make.
For the past 2 days I’ll get to work soon after I get up cause I really can’t help it. I love working so much so it’s hard to resist. Oddly enough, I don’t really enjoy “working” unless it’s completing a udemy course. It’s because while I may have learned a few gold nuggets, I already have a whole sack of them waiting to be cashed in.
So, what I’ve been doing is working, then when I start to feel burnt out I go play my Nintendo 3ds or Pokemon Go and watch some Japanese Anime (One Piece, currently episode 46).
This is instead of going into “working” mode where I honestly feel shitier coming out of it than I did in.
So, all in all, I’m learning slowly every day like we naturally do. I’ve heard to aim to be 1% better every day and I love this advice. Well, I love the motive of it. I don’t think many people would know what actually is 1% better. But, what I think the advice is trying to say is to just “lay a few bricks” each day.
“You don’t set out to build a wall. You don’t say “I’m going to build the biggest,baddest, greatest wall that’s ever been built.” You don’t start there. You say, “I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. You do that every single day and soon you have a wall.”
-Will Smith
I’m turning 26 soon. Your brain becomes for the most part developed once you’re 25. Over the past year I’ve improved more than I have compared to say the 3 years prior.
I’ve always dreamt of becoming an old wise man one day. A mental note I made 1 month ago was listen more and talk less. With me having ADHD, this is of course quite hard but not impossible.
Over the past month of reminding myself of such every day (it’s written in my best year ever page) I’ve started to see about 20% less talking and more listening. This is a huge accomplishment because I’ve gone half my life with getting frustrated about not being able to talk less and listen more.
I’m just glad it seems the day had finally come where I’m starting to gain a nice amount of wisdom vs. the minute amount I had before this.
Obviously the wisdom I’ll gain in the next few years is nothing compared to the 80 or 100 year old version of me. But, it still makes me feel warm inside regardless because wisdom is one of my favorite traits I adore.
