Runnin' into walls...

I think my depth perception is off. I swear, every time (no really... every time) I turn a corner, I run into the wall. It is ridiculous, especially since I do it constantly at the office. It is mainly when I'm turning right (then an immediate left). My vision is a normal 20/20. No need for glasses, contacts, or lasik. I guess I just don't have what it takes to turn a corner in a normal fashion.

Another odd quirk of mine I guess...

Sometimes I feel like this happens to me not only in a literal sense, but in a figurative one as well. In my life, I know how I want things to go, and I know how to get them done, but I just keep runnin' into walls. Example: my career. I know that advertising is not where I want to be. I know that I want to write a book and get published. I know how to go about doing so, but something is stopping me. I am making a right turn (then an immediate left) and am smacking my arm on the corner of the wall (looking like I'm drunk). Getting your bearings enough to walk like a sober individual as well as getting your bearings to sit and write a book are essentially the same. You need concentration and motivation. Motivation you say? To try not to walk into a wall? Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Part of my laziness to make the full right turn is what is causing me to slam into the wall. If I were to just concentrate and motivate myself not to take short cuts, things would be different. My shoulder wouldn't be sore, that's for sure. Same goes for the book. My laziness is contributing to me not getting it done. I have hundreds of ideas on how it should go, new titles, characters, story arcs and twists... but coming home from work and my workouts just leave me drained to the point where all I want to do is take a shower, eat some dinner, and curl up on my bed and watch the LOST season one DVDs (new favorite show). If I really want to leave this job and get my dream... motivation and concentration need to be in the forefront of my mind.

If today I don't run into any walls, I will take it as a sign to get moving on the book.

OR I should just get started anyways... I think I'll just DO it.
