Its funny how life sends you little reminders to get off your ass and do the things you want to do with your life. To do the things you keep thinking about when you have quiet moments. A friend of mine just crashed at my place on their way to Europe. They are backpacking by themselves and crashing on couches. Now I've been researching trips to Europe and Asia, but of course I was dragging my feet. After witnessing this awesomeness of my friend........needless to say the fire has been lit under my ass. So right now I'm thinking Russia, and some countries around there to start my globe trotting adventure. In life you can't wait for people or the right time to accomplish the things you have on your mind. You have to rely on yourself.
This friend no only inspired me to quit dragging my feet for my international longings but it got me thinking about how many other ideas I have or are currently hesitating on. I talked about this vision of who I want to be. Some of this vision is complete.......other parts I need to get working on. Now health, wellness, and fitness is a category I'm dragging my feet on. I know I can be powerful, fast, and strong. Oh and did I mention I have the potential to look like a sexy bitch. With that said I got a salad today.....my body has already started jumping for joy. I want to be an unstoppable force physically. I want to stop carrying around extra weight.......its literally holding me back from moving fast. I want to be the muscle bound speed demon.
Another idea I need to throw into high gear is grad school. Now there's a challenge! What the hell do I want to do with my life, or the next stage of my life I should say. I want to do great things, and have fun doing them. This idea is the least developed mainly because the vision I cannot see yet. More contemplation needs to occur. I just want to instill effective change in the world. At least that's a start on the vision. I want to fix shit. That's that basis of it all really.
Lastly I want to focus on myself, then family, and then friends. That rest doesn't matter is just extra noise I find. I want to ignore the distractions: booze, silly men, acquaintances, other peoples opinions, society, what I think I should do vs. what I REALLY want to do, other people's progress, other's lives, and lastly my own bad habits. Now the questions are how do I accomplish so much? Well if I get fit etc.....I'll feel better to accomplish anything. Also if I quit hesitating I won't have regrets that haunt a person's thoughts. I will surround myself with people who care about me and support me in ALL my crazy adventures.
But really all the possibilities lie inside of me. I can be my own worst enemyy at times. I have a hard time getting out of my own head. So hopefully through "dumping" here I can start to FOCUS, and ACHIEVE a peaceful presence through not hesitating or thinking WAY too much.
Right now:
1) I've eating a salad
2) Blogging to cut the noise, and thinking too much out of the day
3) I've slept 7.5 hours
4) I've laughed
5) I plan on running hills tonight and doing push ups
6) I got a 90 minutes massage yesterday
7) I've narrowed my travel plans to 6 European countries
8) I've pick 2 summer courses to take
All little steps, but they are heading in the right direction. FOCUS, CALM, and PLAN are my key word. But RANDOM will always be my guiding light
