Man, this shit is hard. It’s har-rd. But you gotta do it, you have to keep up, and stay on it, otherwise everything will just settle back into the way it was. If you weren’t happy with the way it was, then you’ll have to find a way, some way, any way to push on through and keep up with all of those tiny little incremental changes you’ve been trying to make. To get better, to be happier or more satisfied, or to obtain a goal or achievement takes work. Gods honest work. Put in the cumulative hours and be the change you want to see. Reach for a glass of water, walk a flight of stairs, turn on your favourite song and groove out to it for three minutes, thirty seconds. You have to consciously make those choices, deliberately. You ain’t a hero cause you did that once, you have to keep coming to the fork in the road and make that tough choice again, and again.
Sucks when you can’t pawn off your bad decisions on someone or something else. Got to, have to, must make those decisions daily in order to build up the muscle memory and create a lifestyle change. You don’t wish, you don’t want, you wouldn’t like, YOU DO. Just like Yoda says, you do or you do not, there is no “try”. And not in the sense that if you can’t do it perfectly from the get go then don’t bother. But do it, don’t try, sometimes, as a forgettable afterthought. Do it. Every day. Make that effort. Build it into your schedule. And get it done.
As a side note, I’m looking to go see Underwater tonight, and I think it’s going to be a fun sci-fi mix of the abyss and Aliens. It is January so I don’t have incredibly high Hope’s, but I’ve heard decent things about it.
