“Oh.. Idonno.. who am I..?”
Yeah, it’s funny to quote Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies, but there’s actually a message there. Let me explain..
I’ve been thinking for a while now. Normally, that can be quite a painfull, headache creating thing for me but since the subject of this thinking is rather close to me I’ve decided to risk it. I have been thinking about me. What do I like, what are my capabilities, what takes up my time and – here it comes – what should take up my time.
‘Cause, really, the thing is: I do too much. I like to do many things: I like to help people, like to spend time with my wife and child, like to spend time with my family, like to hunt for geocaches, like to ride, like to write, like to be outside as much as possible, like to work in photoshop, like to build websites, like to play videogames, etc, etc, etc. And since I like all these things, this automatically means that I try to do all those things.
This – let me tell you – is drowning me. I’ve got to drop some of these things, to be able to live a happier, more peaceful life, without all the stress about all the things that I could do, while doing the things I’m doing right now. Sorry people, but I have decided to at least cut out one mayor time-consumer: Helping People.
I always try to help everyone with anything; fixing broken personal PC’s, fixing laptops, building websites, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I like helping people! Making people happy is just one of the things that I feel like I’ve been made to do! But I really, really have to start drawing a line. I’m not fixing collegues’ PC’s anymore, not creating websites for friends. I’m done.
On the other hand, I am going to focus myself on the things that are most important to me: Family, Friends, Writing & Building. I will continue to build awesome bikes, because that is where my passion lies. I will pick up writing again, seriously this time, because losing myself in my stories is a thing I fall in love with over and over again. And friends & famlily take up a lot of time as we speak, but that can never stop. Never ever.
Thanks for reading my little converstation with myself. I stand by everything I’ve written here, and will do everything in my power to live by the rules I’ve just set.
