What a day. As new regulations in cybersecurity and new beginnings begin in life, we are often met at a crossroads where, time, there’s not enough of it.
I usually write my blogs in the morning and I thought over the weekend, “I should write some blogs now because I am not sure I will have time to write everyday this week” and here I am. No time. That’s life.
I am currently writing this blog downstairs, on a treadmill, kicking toys for the dogs when they put them near my feet. Why? Because I have to. I said I wanted to write a blog everyday, I said I wanted to get my steps in everyday, I wanted to play with the dogs. I found a way… it may not be as efficient but we will fix that as the year goes on.
Why do I have no time? Projects. Doctors appointments. Poor planning. All of the things that make life, life. New PCI DSS 4 requirements are coming to a head and we need to get everything in place, calls for some extra time to be at work… just the name of the game… have to do the things.
How am I feeling that I may be able to put out the best content? Great. This is just a step in the right direction. I could have given myself an out on any one of the things I’m doing currently. It’s EASY to say “it’s just one day” well, that one day is not today. So I’m feeling accomplished. I didn’t let myself off the hook for the responsibilities and found a way to do multiple of them at the same time.
Though my dogs are probably mad I’m not paying full attention to them 🤣
But HEY, I’m getting off of the treadmill every 5 mins to throw the toys and beat em up. They’ll still a full hour of uninterrupted play!
That’s all I really have today. I didn’t give in to what’s easy. You shouldn’t either. I heard today this saying “it’s not that you’re lazy or unmotivated, it’s that you lack the skills to do the work. Everyone wants to do good. Some have the trouble of knowing the HOW to be good.”
Don’t beat yourself up too much about life, live well and meaningful. Most importantly TRY. Just TRY. How will you gain the skills and learn who you are unless you try? If trying isn’t working reach out for help and receive some advice from those that are in the positions you wish you could be in.
That’s all for now. Sorry for the text message type blog today.
Remember to get after it. You’re powerful beyond measure. Let me know how you are getting after it today! Small steps accomplish great goals!
Take care and be well friends!
Joe
