Minutes Till Midnight
As I conclude the sneak peek into the future I’ve been on for the past few days, (AKA staying in Maria’s apartment while she’s gone) I must say I’ve learned a lot about myself. I realized that relaxation was something that had nothing to do with me, when it’s so important to my survival. I’ve always had something to occupy my mind or time, or else I felt as though I was wasting my life away. I now think differently as I sit on the couch without the TV on, John Mayer playing silently in the background as I sit and think, and plan.
I’ve always been a goal-oriented person, if I don’t have a set goal for something, I more than likely will not get it done. As I sat on that couch, I thought about my goals, and how I have made less of them lately. Why is this? I’ve slowed down a bit in life. Having somewhat easy classes in college caused me to slow down. With less effort going towards school, that attitude applied to the rest of my life thereon. For example: I’ve always had a dream to write a book. I would absolutely love to write a book about experiences in my life and how God has saved me from so much, get it published and express myself in that way to people. I was working at that for a long time, starting with finding out how to get it published, and researching writing in general, but then it began. I started slacking off that dream and spending more time just sitting around not doing a whole lot, or playing video games.
I’ve made a commitment to go back to my driven personality and not waste my time. I want to make the most out of my time, bring the most honor to God, and learn the most in my time here. Who also thinks they could schedule their time a bit better, or are slacking in one area of life and it’s affecting the rest?
