Life is simple. I just learned that I am the one making my life difficult.
Why has this taken me this long to discover this?

I have slipped the last two days of studying… ARGH!!! 🤬
I just saw a video of someone stating, “Nothing is natural. I must have the desire. Only I can do what I want to do.” Wow! that hit hard in my gut. I just lost two days…
I am going to meditate and back to studying Security+.

Change or live the life I have been living and getting what I have been getting. The choice is always mine to make. The most difficult part of having a choice and doing the right one, is not knowing if the choice is the right one or if the choice comes close to being what is best for me, even if the choice is not the right one. Maybe why there are so many employees in the world, as for ten hours a day of when they are awake, they simply do not have to make a choice. Just wake up, go to work, come home, eat, watch TV, sleep, rinse and repeat. When the weekends come, horrible dicisions are made (no choices are thought of, but rest and relax), either do nothing, or watch televsion to avoid thinkning.
I pledge from this day on, I will avoid all things that do not make me think. This day forward, I will make CompTIA Security+ my life until I have achived my certification.

Part of my change is not to watch YouTube videos that are unbeneficialto me, like cat videos. I have done well for the last two days. I have been on YouTube just for one video, which was a tutorial in setting up an advance option on one of my devices that I was not familiar with. YouTube is a time quicksand, if you are not there for a specific goal, you will slowly waste a day without knowing.

I need to change my life, I have to change for the better. I have been stagnant, and I do mean stagnant. Not just recently , but all my life. I have to choose one thing and focus, and stay focused. Only move when I have completed one topic.
I will focus on CompTIA Security+ and nothing else. No YouTube, or other time vampires, Halloween was yesterday! 😂

Every day is an opportunity to improve for the better, even if that improvement is by .001%.
Improving and getting better is not about being invincible, improving and getting better is about being unstoppable.
