 What is my drive? What is my motivation?
Honestly, it is tough to get my mind fully focused 24/7. Remember, it goes with the common saying, "Everything happens for a reason." Also, you know what they say, "Hard work pays off." Yes, I get lazy almost every time I get off my bed in the morning. (I am not much of a morning person.) Most importantly, drinking a cup of coffee always starts my day. We must set a target goal, or else there will be no motivation. Yes, I am a tennis coach. For instance, I tell my tennis kids that they must get at least 10 shots in a row. (Focus on consistency. Just grind it out.) Once they do, I must jump over the tennis net. It is crazy how most entrepreneurs find ways to work less hours, while others work 40 hours a week. Enough with myself thinking outside of the box. Let's go back to this question, "What motivates you as a lifestyle/personal blogger?" That is a very good question. Honestly, I do not earn money from creating and writing this blog. (When I first started this blog, I was hugely concerned about earning money as my first priority. Now, I do not care for it anymore.) Why continue blogging, then?

A heads-up reminder: Become a better person on the coming new year. (A yearly traditional fresh start.)
Then again, I can become a better person anytime of the year. (There is no "perfect" time to wait for change.) From the words of NBA sideline reporter/broadcaster, Craig Sager. (I agree with his quote.) At 65 years old, he died today from acute myeloid leukemia. (He ignored cancer treatment.) Importantly, he chose to live and die naturally.
Why am I writing about him? Yesterday, I coached a group of 6 young kids at a youth league tennis. (I see them every Sundays from noon to 1:30.) For this season, it was their last day of class. (Next season, the league will start in mid-January.)
(NBA season tips off today. I felt like writing something basketball-related, even though I have no chance at all in becoming an NBA player.)
For myself, basketball began when I was in the fourth grade. My teacher offered us a sign-up basketball sheet for the 5th grade team. I knew nothing about the game. I said to myself, "Let's give this a try," then I signed the sheet. (This was one of my first moments to be a part of something.) It was a privilege. Last night, I had an open conversation (deep talk) with my great mentor.
During our conversation, she asked me, "Do you remember Mother Teresa?" The American sitcom, "Seinfeld," was boring. (Before "Friends" and "How I Met Your Mother," there was "Seinfeld.") I was obliviously wrong. I was very young at the time to understand it. Now, I get it, and I enjoy watching it.
I caught an attractive lady staring at me. (Love at first sight.) I was wrong. I smiled at her. A few seconds later, her boyfriend came out of the restroom, then he held her hand. I unexpectedly ran into my high school crush at the store, Target. (Remember, in high school, I was shy and quiet. Also, I had so many crushes, but I never did anything, anyway.) We have never seen each other for 8 years, since we graduated from high school. I wanted to fully impress her, so I honestly flirted with her. (I am no James Bond.) I was wrong. I creeped her out.  3 hours ago, I was supposed to write my first ever blog. Procrastination at its finest. It goes with the common saying, "Ya snooze, ya lose," yet I will continue typing this blog.
Do not be alarmed by the photo above, apparently, the look in my face on this photo sums up where I am right now. One of my close friends asked me, "As your good friend, what are you doing in your life?" Go with what makes you happy. |
