Direction

How many of us truly wake up and know exactly what we want to do today and are able to do it? How many wake up knowing what they have to do and are excited by it?
Having direction weather ours or somebody else's is something most of us take for granted. We forget that without direction usually we don't go anywhere. I feel that my life has been a bit directionless as of late and feel that it's time to change that. Time to put back into place my old directions and manipulate them to better fit what and where life needs them to be. Direction in ones life is so very important otherwise you become so very stale and bored.

A good morning thought and challenge

Good Morning you wonderful world of exploration and potential. It is magnificent that spring is finally upon us. This winter seemed to last an eternity and had little benignancy. I observed very little this year and often found myself yearning for something new to explore. Both internally and externally. Having become very limited in my physical capabilities and potentiality I feel at a lost to discover outward and inward. Saying that let me assure you now that the weather shall allow me to be out and about with a little more ease and more often, my excitement is rejuvenated.
I challenge you to find some desire that you might have supressed and allow yourself to explore it. Have you always thought about carving something out of stone or maybe wood, but always worried that it won't turn out? Well, you can never know till you try, so try. Maybe it is to see the Sunrise on the East Coast and the Sunset on the West Coast in the same day (It is a lot of fun to do. I watch it rise in Boston, MA and set in Long Beach, CA), so why haven't you? Lets all take the time to not only love the ones around us, but also ourselves and really truly live life to its fullest. Even if our physical beings won't cooperate as much as we would like.

New Sleeping Pattern Tests

I for the majority of my life averaged no more than 4 hours a night of sleep and tried for no less than 3. 3 was not always successful, but very very rarely did I ever sleep more than 4. Now, at this point in my life, I have a very confused sleep pattern and am looking to start the search for a healthier and easier to obtain pattern.
The following are my new attempt to create a new sleeping pattern, giving myself an extra hour for falling asleep and waking: All options average 133 waking hours and 35 sleeping hours or 19 hours awake per day and 5 hours asleep
w=Wake & s=sleep
Option 1: Option 2: Option 3:
Sun-w7:30am w7:30am s2:30am s7:30am w12:30pm
Mon-s9:30pm w7:30am s2:30am s7:30am w12:30pm
Tue-w7:30am w7:30am s2:30am s7:30am w12:30pm
Wed-s9:30pm w7:30am s2:30am s7:30am w12:30pm
Thu-w7:30am w7:30am s2:30am s7:30am w12:30pm
Fri-s9:30pm w7:30am s2:30am s7:30am w12:30pm
Sat-w7:30am s2:30am w7:30am s2:30am s7:30am w12:30pm

I know that this seems as an odd Task to undertake being that most people are able to find a natural pattern, but that has always seem to eluded me. So, this is my attempt to finally find a schedule that my body and mind might finally agree upon. I will be starting with option 1 as of yesterday being the 7th of March 2010. I woke at 7:30am and will not go to sleep until 9:30pm tonight (should not be a problem, but funny how went you want to stay awake you can't and vise versa). After completing one week of each schedule I will move to the next option. If an option fails from being unable to keep to it, I will sleep any pattern for remainder of week and begin next option on the next Sunday. I will try to make sure I document how I feel and what observations of abilities and overall capacities I find. Bases for measuring capabilities will be to do my alphabet forward and reverse and keep track of average time as well as other consistent tests to mark my abilities. These task will also include physical requirements. Wish me luck and I know I will have fun, cause I have fun anytime I take on new crazy ass en devours. These are the times when I envisage myself to be a real scientist.

A daily Challenge

Hey there World. Today my grandmother died and was thinking to myself how many people I know never take the time to tell the people they love that they love them. So, my challenge for everybody this weekend is very simple. Choose at least 5 people that you love and care about and simply call them to tell them how you feel. It isn't a difficult task and one that can mean so much. This is something I have tried to do almost my entire life and would love to see others try it. Life is quick and there truly is nothing more important in this world than the ones you love, so make sure they always know how you feel. Don't assume they know, tell them.
I hope and pray that all who read this find themselves in a very good place and that the roller coaster of life is in the upward motion.

Daily Challenge and a random thought

Have you ever wondered what makes something a VALIANT effort instead of just regular effort? Must it be trying to accomplish something noble? Who would determine if something was truly a VALIANT effort compared to just regular effort?

So, my challenge for anybody who reads this today is to simply offer assistance to somebody. That could be getting the door for them, helping them put groceries in their car, or anything you can do to physically assist them. The key is that you must offer the assistance first, not just open the door, but ask if you could get it for them. After you do wish them a good day and give a true and sincere smile. Let me know what you did and how people respond. Hopefully one day somebody will actually try doing this stuff besides just me.

A challenge for the day and a quote to figure out what movie from

I hope that All who read this today are having an absolutely wonderful day. I have a challenge and maybe some of you will finally take it and report back as to how it went.I challenge you to engage a stranger in a short but meaningful conversation. Asking them how they are and one thing that you would deem personal but sharable. Tell us what you asked and how they responded. Don't forget to tell them to have a great day. And now for a quote. Lets see if you can get it. 1st person "Does your dog bite", 2nd person "No, my dog does not bite." 1st reaches down dog bites and he looks and says "I thought your dog doesn't bite", 2nd "But that is not my dog". Funny Funny Funny, very darn Funny.

Something Different

Have you ever found yourself looking around at your life and wondering what you can change without causing any real conflict to your life. Do you do something that could make a real change and cause some conflict if you think the pay out might be worth it? What if you can't determine if it will improve your life but are certain that it will make it better but definitely will cause a change? Do you make these changes?
As I sit here deciding what direction to take my life I am trying to determine what kind of sacrifices I am willing to make and which ones I am not. I don't have any relationship to worry about (meaning that of a significant woman in my life). That is an area I do want change in. I am not sure that the area I live in is where I want to remain, nor am I sure I want to return to any of the other places I have lived. Travel has always been such a big part of my life and know that that can not change. I have also been very much into living in the moment and exploring any and all opportunities this life can give. That is something I will not give up on either. Friendships are easier to maintain with the internet, mobile phones, and all the other means of communication that that is not a worry either. What I need and plan on doing over the next few months is to develop a life's mission statement and determine what I truly wish to get out of it.
