Restless!!

I am so restless I can barely stand it. I'm having the hardest time staying motivated at work. It seems like life would be so much easier and better if I had tons of money and didn't need a job at all! That would be the life. I could go anywhere and do anything I want. But alas, this isn't reality, and I would eventually get bored anyway. I would need to contribute to society somehow. Make a difference. Have a meaningful life. The trick is doing that within the workforce.

I feel like I'm reaching people to some extent through my writing, and I'm making priceless connections through my extensive work contacts. If only there was a way to reach more people, to have a more significant impact on people. I know through hard work and dedication I can achieve that in time, but I'm not exactly the most patient person on the planet. I hate waiting for things to happen. I hate when something is totally out of my control and there's nothing I can do about it. So now I need to make the best of what I have. Here are some goals to help me be more productive at work, and in turn, more fulfilled.

1. Limit Facebook time to ONCE A DAY at lunch!!! (This will be very hard for me).
2. Spend a few minutes every day organizing and keeping my desk free of clutter.
3. Stick to the schedule I made with Book of Lists. Contact people like crazy. Just do it and make it happen - no excuses.
4. Work hard to be ahead of schedule so I can ask for more writing projects.
5. Build my portfolio with quality writing so I can get a better, more meaningful job!
6. Stop caring so much about being buddy-buddy with coworkers. It's hard to be left out, but really it's not that important.
7. Make it to work earlier!

That's all I can think of right now. But it's a pretty good list. I hope work becomes more fulfilling by sticking to these goals, because I'm pretty much going crazy right now.

Peace out.

Rejection

I love this song and the lyrics describe how I'm feeling. Jordin Sparks - It Takes More Dead to me A page in history Again set free Ready Steady Heidi I've rejected plenty of guys over the years, so I guess it's only fair that it happens to me too... over. And over. And over again. And again. And again. Yes, that's right. 5 times in the past 5 months. I know there's a lesson to learn about this, but it doesn't make dating any easier. Reasons these 5 guys have given me or conclusions I've drawn are as follows: Guy #1: "I want action. I am exploring new lifestyles right now... I can't be what you're looking for... basically I just want sex from you." Guy #2: "I want action. I have no self control and feel like if we become exclusive, I'll try and sleep with you... I can't live with that kind of guilt. You're great, but there may be someone even better around the corner so I can't be tied down." Guy #3: "I'm ...

Happiness Factor

I ran across this awesome article on 22 things happy people do differently. This is really excellent advice. I think I do a lot of them, but there's def some room for improvement. The original post is at http://successify.net/2012/10/31/22-things-happy-people-do-differently/. Here they are, along with my own thoughts: 1. Don't hold grudges. HK: This is way important. By making the conscious decison to not hold a grudge, a huge burden is automatically lifted off your shoulders. 2. Treat everyone with kindness. HK: Live the golden rule. You want people to be nice to you? That means you gotta be nice to them. Plus, it's what Jesus would do. He would be nice to the jerks and the people that use you. 3. See problems as challenges. HK: And more importantly, as opportunities. For personal growth and positive change. 4. Express gratitude for what they already have. HK: I find life goes pretty good when I take the time to thank God for all of the blessings and wonderful ...
