Writing, Entrepreneurship, or [blank]

One of those 3 should be my thing. 

For good or for worse.

And I need to start figuring it out.

Seriously. The time is now.

Shit just got real.

(ahah I just love saying that)

No, but this is the time. No more excuses, no more delays.

I'm willing to put the hard work.

I finally need it.

Of course, knowing myself, I can foresee some down times.

Thing is, if I slow down from now on, I'll find myself wallowing in self-pity, yelling to God why won't He change my life more drastically and suddenly.

And I just don't think that's appealing.

Besides, I had a really great run enjoying my youth (although I've started enjoying in a different sustainable way already), big changes are occurring and this is THE perfect opportunity to test what I'm made of.

There's nothing like Life slapping you in the face and starting taking comforts out from under your ass for you to shape up.

Of course, if God has a different plan for me, I'll fall on my face. Which isn't cool. But if and until He does, I gotta move towards something, and assume He's okay with it.

Now, I'm still very uncertain about some things, some loose ends, still watching how they'll play out, how I react to some things, how some other people react, if it's necessary that I go all out and leave my parents home this Summer. Stuff like that. So, I'll still have some decisions to make.

But let's move on.

Writing.

Today I read my latest manuscripts (from like 2 months ago) and I found them incredibly appealing. I usually am sketchy about the things I write, but I felt really confident about it, like that story really is turning up to be something other people will enjoy.

I need to put HARD WORK into that. Really ambitious goals, and follow through with them. Let's set a deadline for coming up with that goal: Tomorrow @ midnight (and my day is full tomorrow, so this is no bullshit deadline)

Entrepreneurship.

My last attempt at this wasn't bad. But looking in retrospect, I wasn't nowhere near the readiness to put in the Hard Work it needed.

Besides, I need a partner. I need a proxy. Someone who'll keep me honest and won't let me give up. Hopefully someone who's into Entrepreneurship too, and needs the same thing from me.

Now that I think about it, I should probably have this for writing too, and it wouldn't be that hard, just a friend I ask the favor to keep me honest about tracking my goals.

But I digress.

Back to Entrepreneurship, this partnership thing is actually important, I remember reading in Guy Kawasaki's book how important this is. How most big Entrepreneurs (even the most famous ones) usually start with a partnership.

It's only human to feel overwhelmed once in a while, with a proxy, you back each other up on those down times.

Blank.

I need to see if there's something else I'm missing. Something that was always there and I never saw it. To do that, I need to get out of the house, I need to get out of my comfort zones and meeting new people, doing new stuff. I always say this, but now I know how I depend solely on myself to do it. And I will.

Hopefully I have some fun while doing this, and this way all my eggs aren't on the Writing and Entrepreneurship baskets.

That's about it.

God Bless
