New Plan, New Game, New Beginning

Well, as my previous posts may or may not have mentioned, I have resolved the conflicts as presented. I now have a plan of action if things start going the wrong way, and a general idea how to prevent that from happening.

The plan involves all mental reminders of what I’m trying to do. I know if I can remember my true convictions, which these ideas remind me of, I can stay true to myself. Now I can’t surround myself with these things permanently, but being able to remember them; the thoughts and actions associated with them are very helpful. I wish I could make a bracelet that would say something to always remind me.. but I’m living without.

See, my idea is to try and avoid things that can cause me to start thinking stuff I don’t want to, and to provide myself as much positive encouragement along the way (because if I don’t encourage myself, who will?). If I can avoid a situation all together, I will… if I make a fool of myself in the process… all the better. I know that I’m swimming upstream, but my feelings are if I swim far enough, I’ll be rewarded…. maybe I’ll find a treasure chest or a pot of gold or a plane ticket to London or the DaVinci Code contest or even something else I’ve dreamed of. Probably not, but can it hurt to dream… only if you let it.
Yes, I have a sheet of quotes I carry in my black ledger/portfolio thingy that revolve around patience, experience, trust, courage, and any other cool topic I could find. Those quotes might seem silly, but I think they’re kinda neat and they help to keep myself focused. Chances are if I’m reading them I’m trying to switch mindsets, keep myself going, or just reading some quotes.

I would appreciate if you didn’t say I am stupid to be doing this, because I’m going to make this work, so thanks for the encouraging words.
