Well Me… I have a great wife, two awesome kids, a dog and a lot of ideas about stuff. The biggest issue is where does one go with all this? It would be fantastically easy to keep working away at my job and come home, watch T.V. or just muddle around with stuff. I believe though if I went about life like this I would eventually feel like I had wasted my life away. Why would I feel like this? After all I have a wife and kids, a house etc etc. isn’t that really what most people are striving for. Now I should just be saving up for retirement. That just doesn’t seem like enough though there has to be more meaning to my life than that, or at least I have to make my life mean more than that. After all I believe that we are responsible for making our own meaning. So that brings me here writing stuff because I can, because this feels a lot more productive than just sitting in a chair watching T.V. At least here I am creating something. The real trick I guess is actually picking something to go for and then sticking to it until you make something of it. The hilarious issue at hand is that all the self help stuff that I have been reading about people doing really well for themselves and getting right into life and just taking action is written by, well, writers. So all the advice is somewhat geared towards writers so somewhere in the back of my head I have this little voice saying “are you just working on writing because you have read all these books about being a successful writer?” Maybe, but the kicker is that at least I’m doing something. I am making an effort to do something more productive than nothing.
So there’s that 🙂
