Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Ninety-Four, Dateline 7-13-2018
/
“If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.”
Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-ninety-four of Operation Achieve Anything. I'm continuing to love this new split/graveyard schedule especially as I continue to tweak how I plan out my day and grow used to sleeping in until closer to noon once again. Right now, I'm almost at a point where I could potentially finish my evening early enough to still get out of bed in the early AM to give myself a longer day.
We'll have to see which route I want to go once my sciatica settles and I'm back to type like a human at my desk instead of hunting and pecking at my keyboard while hunched over in bed. Though I feel like I'm getting close to where I could handle this as my new normal, I really can't wait for this obstacle to end.
Speaking of obstacles, the Achieve Anything... book, is still hung up on this as it's theme, with yesterdays task being to think of the quote of the day and share whether I'm the type of person who looks at obstacles with fear or if I'm the type that continual barrels ahead, almost as if they don't seem to notice. If my seamless approach to dealing with this back pain doesn't give you a clue, how back the fact that I've been writing for over twenty years with very little success, yet here I am, writing more than ever before.
Sometimes I feel stupid and that I should just give up, especially when hearing other's dread about their half-assed attempt to do the same thing only to wise up and achieve success using a completely different angle. I feel like others look at my lifelong failure and think, "When will he realize that it's just not going to happen for him?" Even when I feel discouraged, I just keep on going because this is the only way that I know to live. I'm almost to the point where I don't even care if I have an audience, which may actually be my ultimate goal, the writing style, not the truth that I have no readers.
Then again, that may have always been my goal since I've never wanted to be bound by someone else's rules, especially while trying to share tales of fiction, where we're supposed to experience a freedom that cannot ever exist within the real world. Which leads us to the task for today where I'm supposed to journal on the concept of the quote of today about how a road with no obstacles is a boring life to lead.
Yeah this sound nice in bumper sticker talk but, as someone who has face hurdles around every corner I turned, I could go for a day or two or possible one hundered where I didn't have to navigate problems and could just lay around feeling bored. Of course, I'll delve more into this when I check in with tomorrow's update. Until then, it's now time for me to wrap this thing up by saying, good day and good luck to you and all of your projects.
Talk to you soon.
Sincerely,
The Wicker Breaker
