Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Seventy-Three, Dateline 6-22-2018
/
“All actions are judged by the motive prompting them.”
Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-seventy-three of Operation Achieve Anything. Today I was trying something different and I really don’t like the outcome. I thought, “How great would it be to finish my paid work first to then spend the rest of my Friday having fun while working on my TheWickerBreaker.com content. Unfortunately, now I’ve finished work and am in a very grumpy mood because of technical from the paid gig, and now the service I used to create my blog pages is acting up where it will not allow me to save my content so now I’m in a frustrating fight with my own site.
Yeah, the help desk says that they’re on it and SquareSpace is always really good with their customer support so I do trust that they’ll handle the issue in an acceptable amount of time but the timing is terrible because I just want to wrap everything up in order to start my weekend because this week really burnt me out. With that said, I think this was a bad move either way because it turns out that when I start my day blogging it puts me in a better mood in general regardless of any potential technical issues.
I think that I’ve grown used to my day being done as soon as I finish my day job to where I now feel like my fun work is a chore. It doesn’t help that the Achieve Anything… book is hung up on another themed section that doesn’t have me feeling all that inspired. The new focus is on motivation and not really in a way that promotes a getup and go form of motivation but instead the moral approach of actual exploring motives.
Yesterday’s assignment was to think of my motives and whether they are pure or evil. Well, not really in those terms but I’m trying to make at least somewhat exciting. I have to admit that there is some evil to my motives in that I want to get to a point where I am completely self-sufficient on my own terms which can come across as being pretty narcissistic especially since I’m just me without my own family. If anyone knew my true motives and daydreams of what I would do with my success grew beyond the point where I could do more than just support myself, they would see that I’m coming from a pure place and not from a place driven by power and greed.
I’d go into these daydreams more but unfortunately, they just get dismissed as delusional goals that can never be achieved. Mainly, I would love to develop a small community that was self-sufficient as well. This would create a small pocket of people living and working together toward a peaceful existence that I fantasy would spread, but it’s really hard to picture that happening considering the current state of the world. I also don’t think I will ever get to the point where phase one will ever come to fruition let alone get to a point where I could even think about legitimately starting a phase two but I’m still going to put in the effort.
So there’s yesterday’s assignment. As for today’s, once again, the focus is motives with almost the exact same assignment, only this time the lesson focused more on people who do whatever it will take to succeed even if it means backstabbing others and how this is bad even if there is a plan to mend fences once you get to the top and can start to focus on being more positive with your powers. Obviously, this is not me or I wouldn’t be fighting for scraps at the bottom of the food chain for so long.
Of course, I’ll delve into this more when I check in with tomorrow’s update. Until then, it’s now time for me to wrap this thing up so I can move on and finish my day. With that, I’ll close this with my usual sign off by saying, good day and good luck to you and all of your projects.
Talk to you soon.
Sincerely,
The Wicker Breaker
