It's that time of the year again – time for fresh beginnings, and of course new goals. However, the latter is what I hate the most. The New Year is a time to think about what we wish to accomplish, and with that comes what we didn't accomplish the previous year. I mean, what happened to my weekly exercise plan? Building muscle definition? Or even, finishing this course early? I am disappointed in myself, to say the least. I guess I decided to place my goals on a rocket ship destined for the outer edges of the universe, instead of confronting them like a man. The only problem is no matter how far I send the rocket ship; it always finds a way to return the next year, forcing me to either deal with it or get rid of it. It is really a tough dilemma with all the distractions – video games, friends, etc. But, there must be some underlying force driving this sad situation. I think a good word for it is procrastination. This year I am going to test my limits by doing what no ordinary man has ever done before. I am going to battle the evil forces of procrastination head on (seriously). I will renew those goals from last year like the exercise (ugh), building muscle definition (I'm crying now), and finishing this course early (this one may still be possible). But, I am going in with a fresh mindset that will officially destroy procrastination. As you can tell, exercise is my weak point. I am lazy, and I love making excuses to convince myself to set it aside (procrastination at work). This will change. My motivation will be the health benefits as well as the thought of a longer and happier life. Now, I have had enough fun writing this post, and it's time for my jog. But, I guess there is always next week, right? It is pouring rain, and I haven't touched my Playstation in a while. I guess my jog will have to wait.
