Alright, Okay


In my efforts to understand myself better, I have been doing a lot of thinking lately, and not a lot of DOing. I know, it's unfortunate, and yes, it definitely is nobody's fault but my own. But I'm not going to sit here and blame myself or anything else for my lack of productivity, nor am I going to hem and haw about what I should be doing, so instead I'm just going to try my best and do what I know I am capable of doing. 

I've used every excuse in the book, and I've realized I am an amazing liar. But the person I've been lying to the most is myself. If you go back through this blog, you'll see, just as I have, that I've had an excuse for everything that has gone the way I didn't want it to. Or I've just accepted the things I can't control and tried to move in another direction. But all of that is nil, now, it's in the past. 

Here's something new: Accountability. 

Being accountable for my own faults and successes amounts to more than just admitting it, it means actually owning those things and doing something about them. 

Even this, this little piece right here is something, but it's still just talk. Now is the time for accountability, now is the time for taking the things I've learned about myself and applying them to my life. 

Onward.
