Feasability

Perhaps mediocrity arises when we fear failure. It's quite simple; I call it the "sour grapes" effect. That is, if we really want something that is going to take a lot of effort to acquire, we take all means necessary to reduce that effort by convincing ourselves that we don't desire it anymore, or that it is unobtainable. By doing this, we successfully avoided the effort needed, and got rid of whatever we desired to do in the first place.

Take someone who smokes for example: "I really want to quit smoking, but life has been so stressful." The smoker in that statement has eliminated the desire to quit smoking by convincing his self that it is necessary to do.

I for one have many ambitions that I do not want to get rid of. That is why I have created this blog: an accountability partner for me to achieve my goals. If I blog what I want to accomplish and record my progress and thoughts, I am probably more likely to accomplish my goals. If anyone out there wants to join in this accountability- please feel free to copy my format and comment on my posts. We need all the help we can get- nothing is infeasible

New Energy

Well, I am feeling better.  I have my play performances tonight, tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening.  On top of that, I have a thesis to finish.  So, I should be able to start my "routine" on Sunday.  Ok, so I will start my routine on Saturday. I said it. 

This is good.  I feel like I am getting new energy from being busy. 

Here's other stuff I want to do, in addition to the previously mentioned routine:

- Practice Sax 3 hrs/week
- Be in (an)other play(s)
- Write and read more at work
- Have more dates with my wife
- Have some devotional time with my wife
