Heart of a champion
Watching the Olympics is so addictive. I love them, but I never remember until I actually turn the tv on, which always seems to be sometime after they are half over.
Anyway, one thing the Olympics make me think about is dedication to a goal. At first I was thinking, "gee, I really am a little low on the dedication. Why don' tI do better?" But upon further reflection I can't help but think that I must be doing not too badly. I mean, I'm a grdauate student and not only that, I got federal funding this year, which relatively speaking is not incredible since like six or seven of my classmates also go federal funding this year, but relatively speaking to other graduate students, pretty good.
And yet every day I feel lazy. I guess alot of it comes down to my lack of an excercise regime which God willing will change in the near future, but why do I find it so hard to just stand up and use my Dance, Dance game which I am so excited about but have not managed to use once since I got back from the holidays?
There are 16 and 17 year olds competing in the Olympics. When I was just fresh out of high school I felt like I had that drive. Maybe it's because I'm looking back or maybe it's because I'm so much busier now....I mean I feel just as busy but I'm busier because my time management skills are so much better...Or maybe I'm getting old and tired, I don't know.
But I can't shake that feeling of my time running out. And I think about my health and think about how much I love to eat healthy but then ruin it every dinner time....I hardly eat all day and then pig out at dinner....ridiculous. Anyway, maybe I need to be less hard on myself or focus on enjoying life more, but who knows. I just hope that some day I will be satisfied with my life....
