DAY 17 Hope Abounds

Another Sunday has come and gone, my my, how time flies when your having fun!

This was mostly a day of rest for me although I did work online some more. Doing research of warehouse properties to use for my new poker idea.

I have always wanted to develop a weekly show with the setting around a poker room. Shoot it like the do the E.R. episodes, the only difference would be the situations would revolve around a poker room. Show the behind the scenes stuff like what the dealers go through on a daily basis and so forth. More on this idea in a later post.

For now, today is resting up for the up coming weekend to have the energy to do make the most out of my days off.

I did learn something interesting today, it goes along with my feeling putting action to my dreams this year. I always try to learn something new each day, even when it comes from a source I wasn’t expecting, in this case, it came from the unknown, a player at the casino.

His words, which I hate to say, were actually inspiring. I say "hate to say it" because I have grown immune to the players and their petty views on life, which explains why they spend all their time chasing money by gambling, but sometimes, even they have a lucid moment and one must pay attention to all sources in order to gain the most out of life.

This player pointed out the even though we all have things we want out of life, we often put them off with no regard as to why. We often justify our existence or circumstances and decide to settle for less even when we don’t really want to. Now, this alone was not the revelation of insight I am speaking about, I now all to well about losing time and not acting on the things I want, which is the purpose of my new found reason for being this year and that is to put action to my ideas.

The thing that struck me about what he said was not the words or ideas he was speaking about, not they are not important, because they are, but it was the fact that he said it. What struck me was the realization that everyone has something on the inside that they want to do.

I knew this to be true, but it was nice to hear someone else say it. It’s easy to forget that there are others in the world that think or feel the same way we do. We tend to forget or feel sorry for ourselves, thinking that we are the only ones that feel that way and that is simply not always true. There are many people with similar feelings and thoughts and to me it’s comforting to know that I am not the only one out there who feels the same way.

Knowing this helps me to not get to down on myself about any one thing because I know that I am not the only one going through it. It doesn’t matter what it is, just the thought that others may have the same struggle helps me to know that I am still normal for feeling that way and this thought helps me deal with it in a realistic fashion.

This thought of acting now was in my mind all day, so when I got home, even though I was tired, I got online and worked toward my goals some more.

Thats all for today, until the next time.
