George W. Bush inspired me today..

So I saw the Bush movie today by Oliver Stone.. and oddly enough I left feeling differently about our 43rd president than I did going in.. Im still not a big fan.. but if the movies depiction of him is anywhere near spot on.. I admire his determination.. There is a piece of me that admires that trait in people... I dont know why but I always question my own determination.. as hard as i work i question if im working as hard as I should be.. Well anyway while watching the movie I began to notice my slack off from goals Ive set for myself this year.. Even though I am reaching some there are others that once reached Ive kind of left alone.. Which as depressed me.. I like to talk this big game about whats important and what I want but in the end I feel like Im not doing enough.. So like any 5 year old I realized I needed to begin to reward myself.. haha.. I dont mean just begin rewarding myself.. Im talking about setting goals with levels and rewarding myself only when completed.. To add dedication.. See I see the issue of being in full control of rewards and methods.. but ive discovered a way around that.. google calendar.. each day I will knock off if I completed a goal and let google decide if I get a reward.. Ive randomly selected days as my turning point days.. Like one of my goals is to shave two minutes off my mile run.. So if by a certain date I dont do it I wont be able to buy myself Civilization 4 for Xbox 360.. yea this all seems trivial and the fact is i shouldnt need a reward to complete these goals but you know what.. I like this method.. and will try it out.. overall though these are all goals that i think will make me a better person which is a reward and a goal all in one.. I dont know this blog is really random and badly constructed but i needed to conceptualize this idea before starting... It was a goal for the day.. haha.. no reward though.. boo.. anyway.. enjoy the next blog? haha later homes..
