Ugh. I'm pushing harder, in multiple areas, than I ever have before. I honestly drill through re-creating this type of list, throughout the course of every single day, and usually conclude that I don't know what else I can do. I guess,

1) Be more forgiving of myself and others
2) Be more appreciative of myself and others

3) Narrow down the list of areas I will focus on
...a) Areas to research, study
...b) Balance of time, work vs. study
...c) Time spent on networking activities
...d) How important is it to have a perfect physique?
...e) Am I giving myself downtime, or goofing off?

4) Reduce inaction via over-analysis (procrastination)

5) Take more time to stop and listen to people
6) Not snap and bite people's heads off

7) Get more sleep, consistently
...a) Process the above 10 items in a away that makes this possible

8) Remind myself what I am able to accomplish
9) Forgive myself for my faults and past mistakes

10) See the light at the end of the tunnel

5. Remember to show my care for others instead of just thinking it
The James Taylor song, "...shower the people you love with love..." always makes me think, damnit I need to do more of that. I've been trying to stay more in touch with my friends. I've been trying to balance the time I spend with my kids vs. the time I spend with my spouse. For God's sake there's only so many hours in the day. I try to spend the time that I have as quality time.

I guess you can't move forward while you're dragging around every bad thing you've ever done, or thought about yourself. This guy, I don't know how full of sh!t he is (he doesn't have a good track record in this regard) and I can't believe some of the acts he admits to, but I guess you have to be able to be honest about how ƒucked up you are, or else you're just stuck there, forever.
