So I was reading and I found out that there are 3 kinds of people. Don't we love to categorize people into a few simple categories, you know, like type A and type B. Well the first is called the dabbler - real exited, then they hit a plateau and quit after about 2 weeks, not getting as much from it...not seem to be making an improvement, you get bored, tired and quit and try another game...Then you have the stresser - gonna make things work, but they push and push and hit a plateau and then burn themselves out and quit. Finally we have the master - way to have success is to practice fundamentals every day and have same acceleration, when hit plateau, then look for ways to hit next level and have patience.
I think I am a mix of the first two, but in certain things I'd have to say I am the final one. But it is true that I do get excited about things and try to change my life, but my life always ends up going back to my old ways. My usual ways are just so relaxing and nice, who wouldn't want to stay up late, sleep a lot and not do much.
When you start to have a positive attitude, things just seem to go right for you. My laptop that dell lost just showed up in the mail. I hope to sell it on ebay and use the money to buy an item on my goals list, either a big tv or a kick ass lcd TV monitor for my computer. I should use it to pay off some debt, but I'll just pretend it is free money. Good times.
Friday night I went to a St. Thomas happy hour with Fed and Frank. I had a good time, but it sucked because everyone went in groups and hung out with their groups, so there was little socializing. I did get to talk to a few new people, but not as many as I wanted. After, I had planned to go home, but instead we ended up at this club. It was a nice outdoor club on a lake with lots of boats. I met this cute Columbian chick there. She came up to talk to me, so I can't be too proud about that. Her cousin gave me shit for not knowing Spanish, the exact words were "pitiful" I think, but the girl said she hated that everyone talked to her in Spanish, so I guess it worked out cause she got to practice her English that night. Fed met a cool chick too. The night ended up being pretty fun, but I am just not a going out type of person, I need to find some bars like those I enjoyed in DC. One thing that really struck me, was the amount of people doing cocaine that night. No shitting, I saw at least 3 different guys snorting while taking a piss and it was out in the open, not even hidden. In a sense I felt bad for them because they wanted to feel good so bad they were doing that shit. I know if I did it I'd be addicted too, but I still think that people shouldn't do coke. I guess I am nieve sometimes about the shit that goes on.
On Saturday, I went running at the park. I also played soccer with Fed. We played the goalie shootout game and even though Fed is great at soccer and I suck, I still won. That was cool. It was nice to get out, get some sun and get in a good workout.
I've talked to my younger sister a bit and the one thing that really gets me when it comes to family members is that I feel so helpless when I can't do anything, especially to make them feel better. I also get stressed when I see them making bad decisions, but really who I am to say whose decisions are right and wrong. I guess all I can do is give advice and stay out of it. Things seem to be getting better and my worrying too much won't help things.
I am now done with the Personal Power II program and Get the Edge by Tony Robbins. Now I guess it is time to actually incorporate this stuff into my life and not just go back to the way I am so used to living. I want to change my life in the sense of making it better. I love my life, I am lucky, blessed and living my dream, but I want more, I want everything and therefore I'm going to out to getting it. I also don't want this feeling of motivation to fade away as it has in the past. This is why I write it here, so that I have to be accountable. I am starting to see that there so so much more than just having that hot girlfriend when it comes to being fulfilled. Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy to be hooking up with some hot chick, but I know better than to think that that is actually a goal rather than just part of the bigger goal of being happy. I was willing to give up so much in the past for a relationship and now I feel like there are things I no longer will give up, not bad things, but things like my interests and friends and goals.
I have a friend whose views on a certain topic I don't agree with. His views on being rich, money, cars, status, and respect are misguided I think. He covets what rich men have I think. He will be rich one day very soon due to his hard work, but he seems to think that money, a good job and a nice car garner respect and admiration, from both colleagues and women. Even if that is true, it doesn't mean you can't have respect if don't have them. I do understand to a point, it does help out a lot, but I don't think it is the end all. Secondly, I think that I know mad poor people that gets lots of chicks and are very respectable. I think you can use it as an excuse to not being happy, but in the end once you get it, you will still be you and if you are not a cool person, your stuff won't make a difference. Like that creepy who wants to marry a millionaire guy, he had it all, but man he was a loser. I don't want to be him, plus what is the point in waiting to enjoy life, why not enjoy it now and enjoy it more later. Though later is so going to be pimp when I have my boat (I don't even like boats, but I want one) and my jazcuzi.
