I've been working on gratitude and it's harder than I thought.
It's interesting. I've been so caught up in all the things that I'm not doing, I forget that this writing journey, and my other journeys, are hobbies and dreams I'm choosing to pursue. And that I'm supposed to enjoy these things.
As a result, I've decided to work on changing my mindset. I'm still going to pursue my goals and keep moving forward as diligently as I can, but I'm also going to work on being more grateful that I have these opportunities to pursue my writing career. Not a lot of people get that or the other opportunities I'm allowed to pursue in my life.
The fact that I have this opportunity to build my craft now is truly a gift.
I've also got to enjoy the life I've built and the people I've put into it. And I've also got to keep working on finding a balance. And that's also interesting. I've been pursuing this dream in one way or another for five years and I'm still not the best with time management.
While I can lament that fact, I can also accept it and keep moving forward. Additionally, aside from exercise, I'm not going to roll over failed time in my timecard from month to month. For now, I need to focus on hitting my desired goals and focusing on my most important open items first (ie: editing). Because if I don't cross this editing hurdle, then I'll never realize my dream of becoming a published author. I'll end up the proverbial hamster on the wheel instead.
Ultimately, I am grateful for my life, I'm going to work on a daily prayer practice where I acknowledge what I'm grateful for each day, and I'm going to keep chiseling away at the mountain that is my dream.
For I truly believe that each minute I spend on this dream is another minute I get closer to the realization of it. I just have to spend more minutes on it so I can achieve it in my lifetime lol.
Additionally, I've finally read Gillen's Sins of Sinister X-men event and thought it was really good. His Immortal X-men run in general is awesome and I'm excited to see what comes next.
Anyways, that's all I got for today and I hope you all have a great month.
Sincerely,
Joshua Acocella
