Over the past while I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that I am spending far too much time talking about what I love to do than actually doing what I love to do. I spend too much time consuming the creations of others instead of doing the creating myself. I've realized that my goals and dreams have been reassigned to be completed "sometime in the near-to-distant future" or "when I have time" and I do not like that.
So, this is my little Sunday PSA for anyone who may be in a similar boat to mine:
Do whatever you need to do to rewrite yourself as the protagonist in your life, then act accordingly.
Which means, act. And all the other verbs you enjoy doing and should be doing that you haven't been doing. Lately the verbs in my life have been sit, consume, complain, bemoan, worry, and waste. The worst part is I've been too desensitized and distracted by enacting these verbs to realize that they were my reality. So, today, I will replace them with write, create, explore, uplift, remember, and become. Never mind the endless quest to attain lofty nouns like positivity, happiness, and success. Simply focusing on the verbs is a much better way to serendipitously arrive at the nouns anyway. You are constantly doing something, so make sure that something is done with a verb that you enjoy, or at least one that is worth your time. We only have so much of it.
