      Morning all, The time is 6.50 am on Sun 28th August. It’s nice to get back into writing again. I find it a most comforting place.  As time passes, I find being around people more and more tiresome. It’s weird to think that a decade ago - all I enjoyed was actually being around people - and now I value the time I spend with myself the most. There are a few people that I’ll always have time for, and that’s my partner and my parents.  On a regular basis that is. There are others that I’ll see from time to time - but it could never become a daily occurrence. I spoke about this with my life coach Valentina. As the years and months have passed, I’ve watched my life change as I run in the direction of my goals. To be incredibly financially successful and to have several businesses that I can be proud of. It upsets me when I reflect too much upon where I am for more than a moment because I still realise how much further I have to travel. Anyway, I think this all comes to mind because I met up with an old friend Michael yesterday, and it made me think about my life’s direction - as determined by my keystone habits. I need to be more consistent with waking up early. Today I did wake up at 430am, and I’ve been active since I awoke - but I’m not consistent enough with waking up at the same time each morning. Mike said to me - I should read about ‘Mamba mentality from one of Mike’s inspiring people he reads/watches - Kobe Bryant. [convertful id="197358"] I’m going to look it up at some point - but it does make me consider a whole range of thoughts that tear through my mind, and I struggle to articulate them really well. But I’ll do my best to try and walk through them:
    • I don’t (as of yet) have the outstanding success that I’m looking for when it comes to my finances
    • Outside of my agency - I haven’t as of yet really made another business work
    It’s probably the second thing that irks me the most because lord knows I’ve been trying to resolve that But anyway - today isn’t about that. Today is just about making sure I keep putting pen to paper. I forgot how damn hard it is to get over the inertia and start building new habits. The habit I’m referring to here is writing. To think I used to write up to 2,000 words per day and focus upon that feels like another lifetime. DS Blog That was maybe 20 months ago. Fast-forward to today, right here and right now - I guess the big thing is to be even writing. Video has grown so much as a medium that it feels silly even to take the time to write I’m less than 10 minutes into writing this blog, and already I feel like I’m being pulled away. Pulled away to do different things and generally avoided asking my brain to focus on one thing. But the important thing is that I got over the hill. So yes, just now, I’m tired (I think I’ll go back to bed for a nap) because I’m finding focusing on anything at all to be difficult. It’s interesting to see how tired my brain is even for this period of focus. Anyway - until next time!
