I consider myself the consummate failure when it comes to life in general. I fail at most everything I do, in fact the only thing I think I’ve succeeded at is my relationship and even that is debatable (you’d have to ask my partner what she thinks). Right now as I work on a new project and try to envision what success means for that project I find myself contemplating this central theme in my life.
Taking Risks and Trying New Things
I’m addicted to new experiences and new things, it’s a bit of a problem but that I’ve touched on but as it stands I don’t think it is really a major negative in my life. I’m always trying something new, throwing myself into new things and taking new risks, and I think that’s what living is all about.
In a way I guess I’m violating the top secret nature of the project by talking about it here but it doesn’t matter it still won’t be easy to find. As part of what I’m starting to think of as my “Fever Awakening” I have embraced my desire to create. I’m working on a new project, something that I’m really enjoying and something that you’ll probably never see (and that’s all part of it).
I was pretty sick recently and when I’m sick I tend to think a lot. Maybe it’s because of the medication or maybe the fever but I find epiphanies when I’m feeling sick. This time around there were a few, and they actually really helped me out.
This is a New Years post because it is a new year and I figured why not, easy topic and I haven’t posted in a while. I write this from my hotel room in India (Mumbai to be more exact, apologies for any formatting wonkiness I’m posting from my phone) and wonder what I want for 2018. I know that for me 2017 was not the best year, this trip being an exception, so what changes can I make in the coming year to make things better?
