Good Enough

I realized that what I have been doing, I have not been doing much. I have been just floating, per say, in life. Not maximizing my life, and just doing enough, the bare minimum. I have been addicted to entertainment and laughter. I have been wasting lots of time watching movie and episodes based shows. I believe with the time that I have used to watch these shows, I could have gotten several technical certification and/or degrees.

I have to review my commitment.

Starting Friday the 13th Twenty-Twenty-Five, I dedicate my life to further myself and not waste time on entertainment. I will put all free time to further myself by educating myself and gaining experience. I promise, and this is a promise for me.

Promise

I made a promise twenty-years ago, but have not kept my promise. Here I am thinking, “where has my life gone?” Well today, I found myself remembering the promise I made and I keep thinking, “What could I have done differently?” I have read, to make changes, I will have to track what I want to change. What is not tracked cannot be changed.

I have to priorities what I need to do, not what I want to do. I will have to set my feelings aside and do what is needed.

I was talking with Andrew a while back and Andrew told me about his discussion with his cousin who is a successful business owner. Andrew was telling him about the difficult times he was having and other things he was having a problem with. His cousin replied, “What are you going to do about it?” Wow… That question is a complain stopper!

Since we had that conversation, I have not really thought much of that question until today. I noticed that I have not done much since the beginning of the year and this got me thinking of the question, as I started to complain on how I was not doing well. Time for ACTION!

I do not know why, but I got the urge to switch my keyboard from the Leopold FC660M PD [Cherry Brown Switches], to a Leopold FC660M [Cherry Blue Switches]. But after switching, I recall why I went with the Brown Switches, as after typing for a while the clicking sound annoyed people around me. 😂 So, I switched back. Might have also been my brain wanting me to procrastinate after remembering, “What are you going to do about it?” No complaints, just ACTION!

Memories

Unless I put real effort in trying to remember, I do not remember much of my past. Much of my day, I just learn something new in technology, going after new certifications in challenging myself to see if what I studied I understand. I do not study for a certification to boast that I have a certification, but I use that to measure if I know the subject or not. Anyway… I degress.

A few days ago, I came upon a memory that happened to me when I was still young, and
