This is going to be a rant type post.
I have always been somewhat different than everyone else. My intelligence level is that to where I pick up basically anything with lightening like speed, even to the point of where other people get jealous of my ability to do so. I say not to brag or impress anyone but rather as a note to myself.
Even though I pick things up so fast it has come to my attention that I do absolutely nothing with it. Sure I may have a project here and there but that quickly fades out of existence just as quickly as it came into existence. I can never seem to stick to one particular thing for too long. As a result I have basically spent the last eight years of my life wanting to accomplish a lot but doing absolutely nothing.
So, I want to change my life for the better. This is a great endeavor, and I would suggest it to anyone who wants to create something great. But yet at the same time, with me it all falls on deaf ears. Now don’t get me wrong, I love most of the stuff I have learned and use some of it. But once again with me it is yet another thing that I have done almost nothing to actually follow through on.
I have enough books available to me at my disposal on everything from Psychology, Self-Help, Finances, Business, and Computer information I could ever possibly need. A mass of information that would make even the most well stocked library or book store jealous. I enjoy all the information that these books have imparted on me, but yet again it’s the same story.
It hurts me to realize the fact that eight years, EIGHT years!! I have taken no actual action to improve anything other than my knowledge. Knowledge may be power as that old saying goes, but it’s how you use that knowledge, or if you even use it as in my case, that counts for everything. Another thing that pains me is that even though I have all this knowledge, I have obtained it through myself and not through some University or School. So therefore, even if I know exactly how to do something, perhaps even faster and better than those who went to University it will not matter in the end since I have no credentials to back it up.
I really need to look within myself, long and hard and figure out exactly what it is I am doing. Where am I going? What is it that I want my life to be? What is it that I want my life to mean? How am I going to get there? What actions will I take? These are questions I need to answer. These are questions that are going to lead me to finally creating the life I have always wanted.
With that said I would like to share a few things with all of you. First a small sentence/diagram for us to think about:
Thoughts > Actions > Results > Thoughts (the cycle of creation, the cycle of everything really)
Another thing to think about is the following quotes I have read and found them interesting so I will share them here:
“What lies behind us
And what lies before us
Are tiny matters
Compared to what lies within us”
-Emerson
“The mind that opens to a new idea
Never comes back to its original size”
-Einstein
With that shared, I would like to apologize for my rant type post today. I just needed to post this for myself more than anything. I hope everyone is doing excellent out there, and remember:
“Dream A Dream, What You See Will Be”
