Friend From Childhood
Today I hung out with my childhood friend who I haven't seen for like 2 or 3 years. I saw his cool updates on facebook of photos he took while he was on a hiking trip and thought about him. I remember how the very last time we talked he recommended me to read a book he read, the Millionaire Fastlane but I didn't read it because of a stupid excuse like not wanting to read a big book with little letters. Of course I am an avid reader but I guess that time I wasn't into business or entrepreneurship as I am now. Anyways thanks to him we talked a lot he tried to help me because I wasn't doing well in life and so honest with myself. I tend to have personal pity parties sadly... He gave me recommendations since I don't know what the fuck to do with my life and am not happy. This has been a freaking pattern in my life man... Anyways he suggested a lot of good apps like google trip and the dating app Beagles and Coffee. He also said I should learn to Tango and join Toastmasters. Same shit like last time! Seems like he forgot we had that convo already. I need to fucking do shit now because I want to change my life but I don't do shit. I don't want it bad enough. I'm too comfortable. I'm scared of the unknown and scared to quit my job and just jump into an adventure. My life at home with parents ~, ~ is probably the reason I've become so inept in life... So he also invited me to see his property he owned and gave ma a tour of the place there. It was cool. Initially I didn't want to go for some reason by I just say yes because it seems like a good opportunity. Even while driving there my mind was like this is too far blah blah blah. Why do I create these obstacles for myself? I'm weak minded. Overall I'm glad I went there to hang out with him. He's so cool and it's good to see what he is doing and is passionate about. It really opened my eyes to his world. Man he's my age and way more successful!
Friendship Rekindled
Secondly, I hung out with my friend from martial arts. I reconnected with him since last time he wanted to hang out but I said no that time. Some reason I didn't want to end in bad terms with anyone in life. I don't have enemies and I don't plan on making anyone to displease if you will either. Does this make me a people pleaser? Anyways I set up some boundaries and express how I wanted to express rather than let him dictate everything.
Lesson Learned*
To grow I or you must try something new right? To try new things and feel awesome from learning it. Oh how I miss this "mentality" or way of thinking and doing things.
In addition I also took the bulls by the horn by going to get my packet for the color run, going to see my manager about my check and calling SEARS and trying to fix the trimmer which is like super old (15 years?) Lol.
Great day - also going home and playing with my cousin's baby. What a great way to spend a precious and rare day off from a 9 day streak of work consisting of 10 hours average per day!
What to Come
Now I need to read Dale Carnegie book How to Stop Worrying and Start Living and consolidate all my old notes from previous books and than apply them to my life. Get the ball rolling and get the momentum going in the right direction.
Let's do this...! Godspeed!
