Be less serious
Less serious 7 months ago

Sometimes I feel like I’m way too serious. I am funny, and I can have fun, but usually, I’m more serious. My ex used to be facetious; she’d always say the opposite of what was expected, or something totally unexpected. I loved that about her but I couldn’t seem to be as witty as her because I’m generally too serious. When I do become a goof, I’m just a goof. It seem like I need to know when to be fun and playful, and when to be serious, and balance it out properly with probably a little bit more fun in my life than seriousness.



Do something productive every day
The power of NLP 3 years ago

I have been doing so many things recently. I am putting this on my accomplished things list because if I am doing many productive things, I doubt I’ll be on 43things much anymore.

You know, the key to productivity is yourself. Everyone needs a coach though. Even in the Marines I had my superiors looking at me. That’s why I was a good leader, because they inspired me to be a damn good leader. I was motivated because I associated leadership with the pleasure of satisfaction.

When I left the Corps, I became somewhat lazy as I used to be. I think my coach has been helping me out so far.

My coach, Anthony Robbins, has produced a CD series called ‘Personal Power II,’ and that’s what I’ve been listening to, among his other tapes.



to stop procrastinating (read all 2 entries…)
the attempt. 3 years ago

I’m starting to stop procrastinating. So, I’m adding this to ‘my giving up list.’ I haven’t accomplished this yet, but I think I will, and when I do, I probably won’t be on 43things much. And I’ll tell you what’s causing my lack of procrastination in another post.
