Mood

Raining all week, so what better to do than watch anime and eat mint Oreos (on second thought, there may be some things that would be better)

But here we are.

It's been a challenge balancing work, school, and book stuff, so choosing to go jobless through the end of year to keep studies up and improve novel/website.

Oh! So during a recent shower, I had a shower thought.

Shower Thought: (Noun) An inspiration or conclusion about something bigger than yourself that you make whilst in the act of showering. Normally takes place in the early parts of the morning when the water is approximately 105°F.

I realized yet another difference between successful people and unsuccessful people -- those who are successful are willing to be uncomfortable.

It's common sense, I know, but when the thought hit me it HIT ME. Like every human, I too have goals, and sometimes I fall short on reaching them... especially on time. I've accomplished much in the 22 years I've crawled and walked this spinning planet, but how much more could be done if I truly rid myself of comfort in the pursuit of theses goals.

I've read story after story of people who started with nothing and now are in top 200 on Forbes list. Like a good church sermon, I'm motivated immediately to put the work in now to benefit later -- but also like a good church sermon, people rarely followup.

It's the sad truth, comfort takes priority in 1st world countries. This is probably one reason why technology has slowed to a snail's pace in terms of growth and discovery. (Look back at how much we improved through last hundred years, then study 2000 till present!)

So how do you shift?

Well I drive manual, so not entirely sure.

In order to get out of comfort and into your fulfilled life is a three-step process.

(1) Approach discomfort with the mindset to conquer.

(2) Minimize time-wasters.

(3) Maximize projects and goals.

Time is an unmatched resource. Money can be replenished, but once time is spent you can't get it back.
