Working for Yourself

I have been working towards creating an independent life for myself for the last few years. Nothing has worked for me yet, as I try to do everything.

It can be stressful at times, but I know that if I keep going there will come a point I can slot down and let my hard work pay off. I’m trying to find something that works for me.

I realised that having your own business means working more than if you were working for someone else. But I like the challenge. It’s different. It’s stressful. However, it means I can create and explore whatever I want. The possibilities really are endless.

I’ve been ruminating on the following…starting a Youtube channel, writing a blog to review tv and movies I’ve watched, playing the guitar and violin; I am not yet proficient but my goal is to be, selling my artwork, publishing my novels from Wattpad and creating an animated film based on an idea I had.

To do all that the thing I know I am going to lose the most is sleep. I really want to create this life and be as independent and free as I can be. That doesn’t meant I’m closing doors to other things, it just means that if I focus too much on what I don’t have right now, it’s going to drive me a little nuts. That’s all we can do, take it one day at a time.

It’s been a challenge for me to get really started with all of this and I’ve been a little stunted. I don’t know where to take the first steps to accomplish any of this. The proof of this is that my desk, my work area, is a complete mess and has been for weeks. Somehow I thought that it would just clean itself. It hasn’t. I think that’s my number tasks starting tomorrow. Cleaning. I hate cleaning. I really do. It’s not my thing, but when I get in the mood I can clean really thoroughly.

Anyway, that’s all I have for right now. I should stop procrastinating.
