My next phase in life is scary. I admit it.
It is daunting to jump from stability into uncertainty. Leaping into the unknown. A myriad of possibilities.
I am fully aware that there will be many highs and lows. At the same time, I am confident and optimistic knowing that I already have two of the three things to create a success*.
What I am working towards surpasses all. All my past accomplishments pale into insignificance.
The flicker of ambition has lay dormant, in a state of hibernation. Though it has dimmed, I still feel it in my heart. All it needs is dry tinder for it to be rekindled, myself reawakened.
I am going to get up. I am going to take a pounding. I am going to get up again. I am going to take a pounding. I know it is about how mentally tough I am to take the hits. To keep going when the hits come. Learning and adapting.
At the same time, I will replace these things I currently do but will make an effort to avoid when I retire (worry and get annoyed about things, get grumpy in the morning, waste time on news/internet/phone/tv, work in a job I don't like, worry about finances and the stockmarket) with these things I will do when I retire, doing them now (have a close relationship with God, be surrounded by friends and family, be smiling and appreciate life not having to worry, be fit and healthy, have travelled/travel to the most amazing places, reflect on the amazing experiences I have had in my life, made a positive difference to the lives of others).
I will convert the unproductive time into happy time (or time where I think about my goals and strategise). The way to achieve my happiness year is to lift my steady state. I haven't been actively putting in the time or effort to lifting my steady state. I am now.
