Hello.
Outwardly I appear to be a successful guy with a great wife
and kids and hours of daily quality time. I work out of a
home office doing a job I like and make enough money to
easily get by. I have friends and am in good health for
someone in their late 30s. I donate money to causes and
spend my own time volunteering to help others. All of that
seems pretty good, and it is.
So, what am I doing here?
I am not in control of some things I do. I can waste a
whole day away being entirely unproductive. Did I say day?
I meant week. Wait.... actually, I can waste any amount of
time given to me. That doesn't feel great. Mind you it
doesn't feel horrible either, but I finally want to be
honest with myself about what is going on. After a few
years of barely getting my feet wet in the self improvement
pool I am ready to make bigger changes. The thing is they
aren't really big changes. Just a bunch of little habits.
I started this blog for 2 reasons. The first is a way to
help motivate myself. The second was to help others who
might be right near the same tipping point that I am. There
are more than a few blogs by others who had already made
positive changes in their lives and are handing out good
advice. I wanted to show the journey in progress.
This blog is real but unlike other similar sites I will
stay anonymous. Why, you ask? Mostly because admitting you
aren't perfect and then having that show up on Google is
uncomfortable in real life. I hope that it allows me to
speak more freely.
