Jason (AL) 1 Report post Posted July 30, 2004 I hit the bit 2-3 about 39 minutes ago. I've yet to do anything worth bragging about with my life.Looking back, I haven't really improved anything from a year back.Still the same ol' same ol'.I've come up with countless plans and wishes, but have yet to act on 'em.Everything's in my head. Now, to just put them into action.If I could do that, I'd be sitting pretty.If you're not improving, you're dying. I'll be "soul-searching" over the weekend.I keep asking myself, "If you know what you know now, would you still be doing what you're doing now?"-Well, I'm not doing what I want. So, my answer keeps coming up "no." Sorry for the ramble. Send $$$, letters, presents and whatever else you can spare.I'll give the mailing address if you're interested.

Adam King (MI) 1 Report post Posted July 30, 2004 Jason,A spiritual teacher once said that the best thing he could do with himself every morning was to "mentally kill himself" off. He would meditate, clear his mind and run the scenario over in his head. The funeral, the loved ones crying, them getting over his passing etc. And then he would open his eyes..... What else can you do better to stop the ego? Not much in my eyes..Happy birthday and congrats on your new skin,Adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

<Steve> 82 Report post Posted July 30, 2004 Happy B-Day Jason- Thats for sure option8. If I was thinking like you Jason at 23, I would be done now, sitting on the beach with MichaelC, and doing tequila shots. Hey Jason regarding motivation and your ideas, If you get pissed off enough about where you're at, you'll take action as you already have. <S> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now, to just put them into action. Don't make me call you names,Dude you could be retired by 30 or earlier if you would just DO IT, DO IT It took me another 13 years to get where you are. You have all the tools and support here. I guess it's true; you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink Oh gee's it seems I was so like you when I was your age, but I didn't have anywhere near the knowledge (on REI) as you do (the internet is great) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MichaelC 160 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 If I was thinking like you Jason at 23, I would be done now, sitting on the beach with MichaelC, and doing tequila shots.....as long as you're not wearing Speedo's, you can find me 'neath the third tiki hut on the right. And we'll need some Coronas to go with that tequila, also. It's damn hot here these days.And as for you, Jason, yeah, Happy Birthday. Now, get over it and speak with 23 homeowners today.
