The Digital Man Cave

Lately I’ve been working towards meeting a few of my goals in the gym, specifically bench pressing and squatting 225 lbs for 10 solid repetitions each. For some this is no challenge at all, for me it’s something to aspire to. I’m already in better shape now than I have been at any other point in my life, which is awesome. But I know that to reach my goals, be they physical or mental, I need to act with focused effort.

Quality over quantity, always.

A significant lack of concern coupled with unbounded opportunity has created quite a mix of stage fright and entitlement. Not just in my life, but all across the world. I’m a part of the 53% who, as a group, refuse to see themselves as part of the 99% who, as a whole, don’t seem to realize they are a part of the 1% in the eyes of a child who scrapes by on whatever food $2 will buy today. All that entitlement gets in the ways of such thoughts. All that stage fright keeps us from standing up and forcing change. Occupy Wallstreet needs work.

Todays words from the digital man cave are about reason #5 on the list of reasons why I’d like to meet Steve Pavlina. It’s actually about one of my personal challenges in life. One I am finally beginning to get a handle on. One of my biggest challenges in life has  been procrastination. Always.

I’ll give you a hint on how bad it is for me.

I started writing this blog post on November 3rd.

Of 2010.

Without a fresh blog to read through!

Following on the heels of the last post, I am rolling up some of my projects and night time activities into a more consolidated, hopefully more manageable, system of operations. The main impetus for doing this is my personal affinity for immediate gratification. Yes, as patient as I am, I like it when my feelings of accomplishment are present (as opposed to off in the future).

So I like to see things get done, and get done sooner rather than later. To help that happen I’m un-stretching myself; consolidating similar activities in order to put more weight behind them. Read on dear reader and see what I mean.

Not for lack of trying, but 2011 seems to be the year of hard choices rather than easy living. It’s more like carry over from the last few years, rather than all new types of suck. I don’t make the rules but it is what it is.

In truth most choices in life are simple at their core. You do or you do not. You succeed or you fail. You get back up or you stay down. You live or you die. We’ve built a society that is largely comfortable with living in the gray areas of personal responsibility and effort, in order to avoid the binary nature of life.
