start living not just existing

I just had a really good day. Perhaps positive thinking goes a long way. I feel like things are finally moving. Instead of thinking about all the trouble in my life and in the world, I think about what I can do to solve or help them.. and work towards doing it.

To set a goal, i’ve always been taught that they need to be measurable. This one certainly isn’t; there will be no point in time when I suddenly realise that i’m actually living. Or will there? My life at the moment just isn’t doing it for me really, i’m not trying to do anything so obviously i’m not achieving anything. Smaller sub-goals i’ll set on here will hopefully do that. I need to get out of my comfort zone (and lazy zone) and start doing things that are fun/productive/in some way self-enhancing.

The beautiful Radiohead song ‘True Love Waits’ sums up how i’m feeling at the moment very well:

“I’m not living, i’m just killing time.”
