The Mind is a Double Edged Sword - Getting in to the Zone

Honestly, it's been too long since my last post here. I've actually wanted to post here since the weekend, but the last couple of days have sort of built upon what I was going to write here, so I guess it all worked out in the end. So today's post is about what I'll call "Getting in to the Zone". So a bit of background on the situation, I had taken it easy for about a week since I finished my job with the call center. I spent the time pretty much just hanging out with friends, working out and of course playing some games on the side.

It wasn't till about Saturday night, when I was chilling at my computer having a look at what was going on Facebook. I recognized quite a few friends talking about their recent endevours and what they had been getting up to. To my surprise, especially as the last time I had seen them was during high school or when they started uni. They were quite different people back then and they have really moved forward.

That's all it took really, I sort of felt a spark in the back of my mind and I felt like I was ready to get back into moving forward and working on something productive. I'm honestly a pretty competitive person, there's not much that drives me like a good challenge. When life stagnates and there aren't many goals to focus on I feel that life loses a lot of it's meaning to me.

Interestingly enough during the same night I got the motivation to work on projects again. I was contacted about a business idea from friend of mine. We arranged a time to meet up later in the week to discuss. Also the next day, family called to consult about some future investments. In no time at all, I was back to making calls, sending emails and creating plans again. I felt really good to be in the middle of all that busyiness again.

I'm not a particularly spiritual person, but I do believe sometimes there's a greater force in the universe. Sometimes that force will put some vague opportunities or motivations in front of you, I say when that happens jump on board and ride that positive momentum. You'll be more efficient, more effective and will more likely attract the types of people and opportunities to keep going.

I think that will be it for this post now. It's shorter than some previous posts, I'll talk more about my reasoning in the next post.
