The Man and the Plan

When you've seen what I've seen and done some of the things that I've done, there's nothing much left except to try to make a positive impact on you're environment. To do this means to taking care of yourself so that you can help everyone else. Which means being more productive and taking responsibility. I guess thats what I've found to be the bigger and end all purpose in my life. From picking a career and having a motivational force thats all and what it is. You have to make sure that you're in order first before you can effectively help others. So here's the plan....

The Plan...

1) Get into and finish PA school. It was either this or taking up law but there are some hurdles that I brought upon myself for this not to be the most pragmatic decision. Time is a factor too. PA takes 2 years of post graduate studies. This way I'll still be able to be helping people, and hopefully make enough to get things in order.

2) Volunteer. I like the local hospital by my house. It's time to get that application and start. I'll keep you updated. This also helps the resume.

3) Have to keep things positive all the time. Things that bring me down that cause me to think and worry all day is only a hinderance. I'm the type of guy that thinks with my heart too much, so depressing things can really get me down and I only end up wasting time and taking time away from the bigger picture. That stuff needs to go to the side. Like waaaaay over there and not even bother with it.

4) Stop the laziness.. Not waking up early. So wake up earlier. Get back into the habit of making a list of stuff to get done.

5) This smoking thing has got to go. WTF. Its harder than it seems. Probably because I didn't finish that book I bought. Part of me didn't want to finish it because I didn't want to quit. But its almost guaranteed to help you stop for good. I noticed I would stop when I read the book. WOW its so simple.
