time..

It never seizes to amaze me how people my age, younger or older are accomplishing so much. By looking at some of the talented people around me, it seems somewhat easy.. Efficiency, plus a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, and a couple pinches of hard work will bring you success. I also think you have to stumble into some luck in order to really be successful.

If it seems so easy, why the hell is it so hard?

I noticed that I honestly felt a bit envious of the people that were born into wealth. No need to pay for cars, phone bill, living expenses, or even a gallon of gas. Not to complain about my life TOO much, because I'm well aware of the fact that I'm lucky for what I have. I really do understand that, but I went to a young kid's home the other day and he drives a brand new M3 given to him right after he wrecked his suped up supra. Not to mention his house was sitting on 5 acres of land with a lake, and just shy of being a castle.

I guess I just need to be slapped back into place when my mind starts wondering like that.

It seems like my days are packed with things to do, and I never have time to really do the things I need to do. But then again, the things I "need" to do aren't on the top of my priority list right now. For example, I wake up around 6:30 to hit some weights before work on tues and thurs. On mon, weds, and fri I usually play basketball or touch up on some more weights in the afternoon. When I'm not at the gym, I'm trying to study for my license. In between times I try to relax over a cup of coffee while maintaining old friendships. By the time I get home I feel like I'm wobbling around the apartment trying to clean up and get ready for the next work day. As for the weekends.. it comes with a whole new story..

After putting it down it seems like I need better structure in my life.

Goals and success.. these are topics I've actually been doing some research on. It all boils down to something my pop told me when i was around 9-10 years old. The story begins when he was telling me to do the lawn, and I really didn't want to. Of course I pitched a little fit. He took me outside to talk to me. Of course I was scared and about to cry cause I thought he was gonna lay down an ass whoopin'. But he brought out the lawn mower and said to me. "Starting the job is 50% of the work. So as long as you start it, then you're half way done". Of course I went ahead and mowed the lawn. I never knew that he would be teaching me a lesson that I would remember till this day.

When you look at the words from the wise, they tell you to kick-off by planning and writing down your plan. Steering you to your next step, take action. And ultimately, perseverance is what keeps you on pace.. you gotta keep truckin' and staying motivated in order for your goals to become reality..

I just started babbling along.. so I'll go ahead and let this rant come to an end.. You are where you're supposed to be.
