Cats In Shower & 72 Days Left

Drinking a homemade smoothie with pomegranate, banana, avocado and green grasses and wondering where the hell I left my glasses and why my cats are immune to water and finding it endlessly amusing.

This morning’s shower was interrupted with a creative cat who found his way to open shower doors and join me in the shower. Not sure how I feel about this, but glad he’s concerned with our environment and saving energy. Maybe he got tired of traditional cat licking. I don’t know but at least it was funny.

This year has blessed me with so much vision. Oddly enough I’ve been having physical problems with my eyes, I’m also seeing more than ever before. Between ever constant epiphanies about myself, the world, relationships, and the interconnected areas of health to simple realizations that will continue improving my productivity and satisfaction both personally and professionally.

That seemed like a lot of words. Mostly, I’m challenged yet enlightened. The most challenging area for me to deal with has been a profoundly powerful impact by others – and often not in a positive way. I’ve had bad clients, bad wannabe business associates, and more. By distancing myself from these horribly negative situations, I’m beginning to open up opportunities I deserve.

Some simplicities I can own 100% of – things like manually updating SO many blogs for instance is time defeating. I’m going to focus down to just a handful of sites I’ll update regularly. I’m aware I have so few readers that likely at times I’m the only one reading original content. Sites I want to focus more on will include Homemade Wine, Coffee Zen, Social Media Mind and a few select others. The rest I’ll schedule posts and point people to where I’m most active.

Overall, I’m happiest when focusing on and completing goals I’ve set for myself. I’ve learned that most others have a different work ethic and tenacity than I do and I’m enjoying working by myself and with the few who relate. It’s most challenging to push back “opportunities” as I’m increasingly aware that my methods of planning, and delivering professionally are mostly unmatched. I’ve been fortunate to find others who work the same and getting better at saying no (more importantly, recognizing sooner) to not so ready for prime time hoping. It’s a weird but good place to be.

I’ve enjoyed the gift of clarity, however I’m learning with all these epiphanies that I’m MORE and more aware that I need to make some incredible things happen, and quick. I’ve removed MOST of the negative forces in my life and setting a goal of having ALL eliminated (and the uneliminatable, managed) by this weekend.

Blah blah blah Darren’s diary blah blah blah Yo Darren – you’re likely the only person who will read this, so do it today, do it tomorrow, and do it this weekend – REMEMBER – you’re happiest when you achieve goals you set. This simplicity is beautiful in itself, so enjoy and be happy…
