And So The Truth Comes Out...

Okay, okay, I admit it, the last few posts were an effort to keep myself motivated. Somehow I just ended up posting random stuff to make myself feel like I was getting something done, but I was not. Although this year I am surprisingly inspired. I made two New Year's resolutions. I normally forget them within the next few weeks of making them (don't ask me what last year's was) but this year I feel like I can actually get them done.

Resolution number two was to get myself in shape. I used to move a lot (and move equipment) at my last job, so exercise was not important when I got home. Now that I am at a desk job, I have no stamina and lost all the strength I had gained. On Dec. 27th, I purchased Wii Fit and have been averaging a half hour a day. I can already feel some improvement and am starting to feel better about my own physical shape.

Ok, here's the resolution that pertains to this blog: To get a website up and running before the end of the year. No matter how crappy or small this website is, as long as I have something up there, I can keep on working at it afterwards.

So now, with renewed motivation, I have started opening up my PHP book again and I now see some progress. I have a small agenda in which I record which page I am at at the end of every day (and how many minutes spent on Wii Fit). It may be a small step to try to keep this motivation alive, but it is better than none! I am quite happy about this sudden burst of motivation, and I plan on trying to make the most of it.

Why The Name?

Ah, yes. How motivational this name is. "Lazy" isn't exactly the best term to use when trying to achieve things, but is it true. I am lazy. But that doesn't have to be set in stone either.

I've been reading up on motivation. Steve Chandler has this wonderful book "100 Ways To Motivate Yourself". I found it amazing and very inspiring. But sometimes, it is still hard to apply some of those concepts in real life. Changing yourself, your habits, is always hard. So I am on a quest to try to keep myself motivated to keep on trying to achieve my dream. Even if I work at it a little bit at a time, little progress is better than no progress. And if I can work on my motivation as well, hopefully a little progress every day will turn into more progress every day.

So, back to the name. Yes, being lazy is kind of counter-productive, however this blog is another attempt to work at it. I've thought of this blog while trying to motivate myself to read my PHP book I bought not too long ago. I would often think that I need to keep working at it if I wanted to post some progress in my blog. So it is working! But even though I have lost most of my drive to read that book at the moment (I just finished another 700 page book on the basics of making websites), there are still other things I can work on. I will try to work on my drawing as well, so I can at least make concept art for whatever I create. Then there is the design of the site, storyline, characters... Yeah. I've got work to do.

Most importantly, I continue to dream, and I like to dream big. Even though I am sure this dream of mine will not lead me to make my own company and hire other people, dreaming that it will is, in itself, another great source of motivation. I work at another job, and in my spare time, I slowly try to work on this path I have currently decided on. So I encourage you all to dream big, and whatever you dream for, start working at it! You never know where it may lead!
