RE: What The Hell Are You Waiting For?

in #life7 years ago

I agree. I might say sometimes "Someone could do something about that" for certain things that I know I have no power to change. But I'm typically a "I'm doing something about it" type of person. Not a "I'm going to..." or "I probably should...",no, "I'm doing" as in right now.

This weekend we learnt something about the school my step children attend regarding their use of internet during a free period of computers. After brief discussions with their mother, between Frank and me, I was like, "we need to write to the school and let them know about this game that can be dangerous." So Monday came, and I wrote. In Enlgish, Frank helped me translate. So it was me doing the work, and I don't mind since everyone else works and is tired. I work but not at a job. i'm at home, I sleep when I choose, and I write. So logic dictates, I'm good at these things. The kids' mother was super grateful I had written and the school called us to follow up and everything. Frank took action too, because when he learnt the kids played said game, he looked it up and saw that it wasn't a game but a chat system, and that kind of stuff is unsafe for 10 and 11 year olds.

I have the same approach with projects. I have priorities, but I take action. It would be easy for me to complain about my illness and sit around doing nothing, trying to get a check from a government I don't believe should be in power, and just victimise myself. Or, I can heal, and work on myself, and then learnt how to do things to accomplish things, and take the time I need. Better to be slow, but be moving forward, than standing still and letting everything happen to you.
