How many people have been so ambitious in what they want to do in life, and they hold high aspirations in life, have high expectation of themselve but, in the process they take on too much in life. I am guilty of this.
Fact of the matter I lack in self confidence and bottle a hell of a lot of things up, But I do have a dogged determination and in a lot of ways I get there in the end even though it might take a bit longer. Why am I writing this, well, if I am to truely discover myself then I need to look at myself and where I have gone wrong in life.
During the 2008-2010 period life has accelerated so much, to the point that I dont know where the time has gone wrong, I had a period of family worries, personal worries, So I threw myself in to work, which in retrospect was the worst thing I did, but I did it and just got on with life.
I tried to sort alot of things out, and sat down and started to formulate a business plan, to run a couple of coaches. I was at the time 30, and wanted a change in life at the time, I was making good progress with the plan . I had got a good plan formulated where I could get a good income and not overstretch things.
However, events of 2010, put a stop to that plan, and as a result I lost a lot of self confidence as a result. But the local industry was going to change, and with the forthcoming cut backs with the budgets the industry is likely to change even more. So during this 2 year period I have made lots of mistakes in that time, but we are all not human if we were perfect. It is human nature to make mistakes.
Now lets look at some of the good things to have come out of that period, well lets see, I got on to the facebook thing, I made lots of friends on there, both in the industry, people who shared an interest. I met some old school friends and even met up on a few occasions. So, I do have networking skills.
Things going for me in life is that I am 33, still fairly young, and fit, so most of my life is still ahead of me, I have my own outlook on life. I like to learn things. I am also naturally interested in the job I do.
And finally my threats are my own lack of self confidence, I tend to go off on tangents and get carried away. I alway try to be helpful, and I do find it difficult to say no to people.
So how many people look at them selves and perform a swot analysis. One thing I do tend to do is read in to things, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing.
Ok on to other things now, I mentioned last week I saw an interesting film on the internet, which was called the Collective Evolution, now one way to look at life is by taking your info from all sources as I have said before, several times. Some times you do have to look outside of the box, and not only listen to the mainstream, but also listen to the alternative. Some of the things they discussed was interesting. It also interests that people with alternative views of life and the world are branded as subversives.
We have had events in Tunisia, with civil unrest, the overthrowing of the president. A prison being set ablaze. Even wikileaks came in to the scene. The country had been a police state, with dictator president who was out of touch with the people.
It looks like the cracks are forming in the coalition government, with the Oldham By-election win for the Labour government, there is alot of people disillusioned with the current administration. I still cant really stand any of them, and I personally vote for independant candidates when the elections come round, infact if the voting choice was the mainstream parties and a blob of slime, well the blob of slime will get my vote. Alot of people my age dont vote, and do not trust politicians, well when you have had several decades of crap governments are you surprised. Stay tuned for more of my thoughts and for now I will say TTFN
