Dreams

If you could have anything in the world, what would it be? Money, love, children... It's an interesting question, don'tcha think? A pretty easy one to. People seem to completely understand what they want more of, things they miss or long for, what would make them feel good.  So why ask that question, what about instead asking, 'what are you realistic willing and not willing to do, to have said thing'. I've never really thought about this before.

I wouldn't say I am NOT a hard worker, but I wouldn't say I am a driven person who looks to work hard and accomplish things either. Is that weird, to never really set out to accomplish something? It's not that I have never accomplished anything, I have, just not with the direct purpose of accomplishing it. It's almost been simply by default. Imagine if your parents never set out to teach you to walk, talk or be a functioning person but they never directly prohibited you from watching or participating in all of society. You would learn the basics but  it seem unlikely you would trip and fall on being tremendously sociable.

So if I use the same logic I did with the sociable example above, I'd say it's pretty unlikely I'm going to trip and fall on some tremendous accomplishment in life. That's kind of sad. To make the realization that I may not ever really accomplish anything big. I guess I should change this.

It's kinda funny, this post was suppose to be about my dream of writing a children's book. When I started writing, I felt my self doubt kick in and say "How are you gonna do that? If you don't know how your going to do it, why post about it? What are you going to do next, write about how you want a million bucks and smaller thighs?" Well my answer to myself is this- I'm going to post it because I think I CAN put a plan in place to write a damn good children's book, even if it's only for my kids so I'll start there. 

Well I'll be damn! Did I just stumble upon the fact that goal setting and planning might have a purpose... kinda like my promises... holy shit I did.

You heard it hear first folks - COMING SOON TO SWO, a children's book by **S**

AND as far as the million bucks and smaller thighs goes snide Miss S, you do have a meeting  with a 401K guy on Friday and you go to the gym 4 times a week so shut up. Those could be post in the future if you really want to spend time focusing on them so don't let random self mind bashing ruin this.

Promise update - I'm not sure if it will be interesting to anyone else, but today's post was certainly interesting to me, so I'd say I succeeded with that.

Promise 28- get some brainstorming about this book out of my head and in writing somewhere -start "operation children's book" hahah
