🥵😴🤯

I normally feel the urgency to do things.  I am either, overwhelmed, too tired, 
behind time, or obviously, no choice but the do the thing kind of situation. Its
not laziness, although I feel like a sloth when it comes to doing things. Mostly,
everything seems as if it were a chore or obligation of some sort. Of course there
are a few exceptions when I enjoy the thing I do. Like writing on my blog. I want
to do that. Its some kind of energy source, a satisfaction and an accomplishing 
feeling sort of thing.

Life can get in the way. Like when I am inspired to write, the phone will ring, 
someone needs help, or chores flash before my face. Then the situation becomes dire
it seems. A work before play kind of thing. If I were to write about a chapter in
my life and label it “the hard years” I would say it was more of an age of seven
years old. That was the age I became aware of the complexity of life. Then I would
say, any age I have been since the day I turned seven has been “hard years”. The
older I get I can see that life is a series of problems that need to be solved. 
On the negative side, you will be constantly achieving goals to be successful. On
the positive side, achieving these goals will be worth it.

Please dont believe I am negative. Believe that I try to aim for a positive side
to every story. Well, not everyone’s story. I am not gullible. I have a positive
perspective of my own story. Not that its always good but because my story is mine.
If I don’t believe in myself then who will? At least that is what I tell myself 
when I have had enough of being hard on myself. God does not like self pity.
