Sacrificing Joy For Pain

I have been a really bad boy lately.  I haven’t been finishing up my ideas and my creative projects into progressive weekly ventures.  I been working and put things together but I have really been missing quite a few deadlines and not putting certain projects and assignments to my top priority.  I will not apologize for doing so, for the work I have been doing in the background was very important and really needed a lot of attention, but there has been joy and video game playing and random falling asleep that resulted in lack of productivity.

I am not saying is wrong to have fun and enjoy the good things in life, but I am really trying to say, make a better schedule to enjoy your fun, and not linger with your priorities.  I still trying to lock down backing up my files, erasing emails amount other things I must do, but it’s about to be December its lock down season.  Time to focus, create, produce and execute finished results.

Things I will be Sacrificing:

– Watching Netflix at home.
– Playing Video games more than 2 hours per day. (I don’t even play that much anyways)
– Also the time spent researching new developments in technology. (I am an information junkie 😦 )

By sacrificing some of my joys in life, I shall be able to finish my new website, produce my new video series, have a versatile photography portfolio around the web, be a better manager, and also be able to advertise and network with others like myself in my industry.  The pain starts today.

Can you sacrifice your joy for pain in getting things done?  Do you thing pain and struggle is needed in order to progress in life?

Your Happiness, Your Family Will Never Understand and Never Get It

Parents Just Don't Understand
Image via Wikipedia

How many of us in life do not want to settle for less?  There are many, but who actually settles for little that they are worth?  There are many also, who say one thing and do another.  I told myself from a young age that, that people who settles for less will not be me.  I don’t care about the struggle and the pain, it’s comes with reaching your goals.  I am not saying it’s terrible of a life for people who have settled and not achieve what they wanted, for life and the world is a tricky thing.  Not everyone can and will achieve the same goals, but to be the one that does, makes a very big difference and is a big deal.

My family, very little to no time have they ever really asked me what I wanted from life and showed their support in my achieving such things, but they would want me to help them on all the small things and major things they can’t do on their own or really needs someone help to accomplish in which I always to at least 95% try to do.  I am only one man with big dreams, big goals, with no help, but yet again, just I alone can change possibilities for the greater good for others.  When I am stress and feel defeated, who do I lay my head to rest on?  Who is there to rub my feet or back after a 48 hours of no sleep trying to do for others in which others will not do for me, while still trying to keep at my goals?  There is no one but GOD and myself that works hard on those details but me.

Most people think about them, or their emotions, instead of asking, hey I wonder how this affects someone else, or am I asking too much of someone and not worrying about how they truly want to react to others request.

Sometimes your friends and family will never understand, they will never ask the questions you have answer for to make them believe that you are going after your dreams and trying your hardest not to give up.  They will just take from you, as you give to them, and time after time come back and wonder why you are not doing something they are actually holding you back from doing.

It’s like Will Smith said in the song, “Parents Just Don’t Understand“, for they really don’t depending on the family you from.  Ambitious family wants more from their children and Low level family, don’t see the point why the children wants to reach and accomplish goals in their lives.  I guess it’s just the times and the technology of today’s world that changes the sphere of events, switching from mere possibility to probabilities, in which possibilities are just a gamble, a roll of the dice while probabilities are more of how likely based on factors you will be able to accomplish this task or goal.

I find it strange how the same people who wants to be happy and need the help of others to be happy, are the same people who denies happiness and the lack of understanding for that person wanting to be happy and actually helping them achieving it.

Do your family or friend believe in you?  How many of your family or friends support your goals or what you want to accomplish in life?

Thanksgiving…every year, same people, same things

RikLeave a comment

Happy Thanksgivingto all, whether late or not late, but Thanksgiving for me ever since the last couple years is mainly for me to be alone, relax and be myself.   I am happy for everyone with families and in love with the festivities and excitement to see that crazy uncle or annoying or cute cousin, but in my life, it’s just a day for me to relax and give thanks unto the LORD and give myself a pat on the back for making this far in the year and knowing and seeing all the good I have done.  I am

not about being rewarded and the epic amounts of food to eat, I am seriously pass that, I feel I can do that anytime I feel like it, I don’t need a certain time of year to do it.

I like to see everyone happy, and holidays for me is a time to relax, and do less, close to nothing.  So excluding me out of the long lines at the supermarkets, the hours setting tables, cooking and baking, I just want to relax.  I work super hard the entire year and all I want and would wish for is peace and quiet.

I don’t know if that’s odd or seem lame to others, I am just me and that’s all I can be.

Happy Holiday‘s and Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving weekend to all.  I hope everyone tries to be happy and live healthy.

Are there other who don’t over hype Thanksgiving?  Do you try to make Thanksgiving  awesome every single year?  Do you actually force yourself to be something you don’t want to be during the holidays?
