The weekend is here again!!!
Where do the days go?
How soon they turn to weeks, months, years and finally the metamorphosis complete, they become memories.
The weekend-engagement writing prompts are upon us again. This week the numerous options are tied together with the over-riding theme of 'habits'.
Let's face facts, the quit smoking topic would've been so easy to choose, but I thought I should aim for a little more challenge.
In a sense my choice was a forward facing one, my only real challenge was to write about something I have recently mastered OR choose a topic tied to where I am going in life
Topic two: - What is the most unproductive habit you have, why do you do it/continue and have you tried to break the habit? What would your life look like if you eliminated it?
My habit is one that many will identify with, I wish I did not know it so intimately, so perfectly, like an old friend.
I second guess every decision I make when that decision is closely linked to my own future success, fulfilment or happiness. On some level, I long ago decided that most of the ambitions I harbour within are beyond me, not for people like me, my lot is more akin to watching others go on to great things, understanding the steps that carried them there but being less than convinced of my capacity to follow the blueprint.
Yes I have tried several steps to help me move beyond this deck of damaging, limiting beliefs which have held me back. You can detect of course, from the words that came before these ones, I was unsuccessful, or just simply could not believe any other map than the Pre drawn one that lives in my head.
I believe my life would look limitless were I too deal with this nasty little attribute of mine. I would dearly love to banish it from the battleground of my mind.
Ironically, I know I have just as much chance as the next man, should I adopt that belief and I mean, really own it.
The life we lead is the sum-total of the things we know, imagine to be true and intrinsically suspect.
From Monday next weekend, not after this weekend I have a list of steps I want to force myself to follow, (force kindly! Is that a thing???)
I have added one element to this plan that did not exist before. I have added a time sensitive,, swift acting step that 'could' make all the difference for me.
The plan is that I act before pondering, knowing that the steps are not 'make or break' just blinkered, plod forward, unconnected to the success or failure thinking that causes me so much issue. There may be perfectly valid wisdom, not visible to me right now as to why I will fail again but I am going to try and act, achieve, mark off the list and move forward to the next step or objective.
We'll find out soon enough, right?
Enjoy the weekend folks, may the goals that lay before you melt away in the face of such forceful intention.
