Square in a Circle, Carrot or the Stick?

    Time. Limited, finite (for us mere mortals), fleeting. Always a puzzle and a challenge to fit in everything I want to do in the time I have. Family, work, Kung Fu, sleep, reading blogs, feeding, ticktock ticktock, time marches on. Even in writing this blog, time is not on my side, I overslept (6am!!) so right off the bat I am behind on my mental list of todo's. So I squeeze in time for this blog, forgoing laundry and Mlong Kuen reps, and I know it (blog) will not be ground breaking but hopefully it will have a purpose. 

   I like lists. I write one every day so I can plan my day. It almost never goes perfectly, but it goes on regardlessly. A few things might get pushed, new things might get added, but on I march, doing my best to turn todo into tada!. 

   Adaptation is essential but at times it is painfully frustrating. I need the struggle though because without it, mediocrity seeps into my day. If I have no sense of urgency, I justify my procrastination with self-righteous excuses. Pushing forward and using time instead of fighting it creates opportunities. Some are meh, some are downright earth shaking!

Pause here..... 12 hours later my Sunday is caught up and I am finishing this blog.....

   So here I am trying to get back to my thought train, I think it was opportunities. To be taught, to be teachable. Right, that was where I was going with this mental maelstrom, I think. But now I have lost my original path for this blog, it is now a chasm of futility and that is a shame, cause I really wanted to get it in a blog, drat!

   So I will chalk this up to a loss on the opportunity path, I let the idea die during the day. It might come back to me, I hope it does.
