To live instead of exist

this time of the year. Many people can’t afford proper heating. Homeless people are in danger.
It’s -10°C outside.
My home is nice and warm.

I wanted to help in a small way and donated some money to an organisation helping people in need with heating expenses.

I hope to make the world a little warmer. 2 days ago

he said with certainty, “Honestly, it’s not worth it at this point. You need to stay in school. And if you want to do military, that’s fine. I can’t tell you what to do. This is all on you. So go home and do some soul searching. Light some candles, listen to some U2, pray to God… sacrifice a goat if you need to. Just think about what I said, okay? I can only give you my opinion.”

To be an E, or not to be: That, my friends, is the question!

I don’t know what to do with my military life. Is it really coming down to this? Money versus fulfillment? Leading vs following?

I just want to be the best goddamn person I can be, and I want to do my job to the highest capability possible. What to do, what to do… 4 days ago

It’s so easy to find your self caught in a stand still with the world spirallingyou into a dizzy dark debth of indicision and racing thoughts. The world today is so full of distractions, we forget how to touch base with what’s important. I think what’s important to first remember is that we aren’t in competition with anyone but ourselves and all united by this fact. We learn to just go along with the motions of what the everyday struggle demands of us. The complexity is draining so I have to learn how to “keep it simple, stupid.” For everyone with this goal, I think should take it step by step and choose more narrow goals. For example, I would like to find activities that take my mind away from the struggle and actually learn to let loose and have fun (of course never at the expense of someone else’s happiness. I take life a bit seriously like i’m locked away in a tower with a nearly impossible mission and konk out on a regular. Maybe I will make a mission to pamper myself in some way that isn’t gonna snap back inbite me in the clunes, like a spa day. (the more the merrier)The best bet for success is to find a hobby or interest and build a physical group of people with that common interest around that ideal. Find something interesting, fun, or just beautiful. This network is a great start. The hardest part is rationing time cause it often seems like there’s not enough time in the day to succeed especially with a plethra of personal goal and have time to party. Beware getting stuck in party mode too. Balance is the key in all aspects. Best of luck to all. 1 week ago

• I stayed home when I was sick.
• I refused to panick about work issues even when my boss was putting on the pressure.
• I took my vacation even though there’s a lot to do.
• I took action on some health issues and plan to keep this up.
  Seems I’m on my way! 1 week ago

I feel like I’ve been so busy that I have let this one pass me by for a while. Its time to “live” in the middle of my life! 2 weeks ago

I dropped what I needed to do and went to see my sister and her family! I was able to see my nieces before they went back to college! I am soooooo glad my family was able to see them before they left. What a great weekend! 1 month ago
