Life rocks! Yep, life is awesome! For me, the best thing about life is challenges. Seems like I can’t go through a day without challenging myself. The more I do, the more ideas I get about what to do next, and so on and so on and so on. Recently I found a bug in the way I live my life. I spend most of my time chasing stuff and not because I have to, but because it’s fun. I wish I would spend some time enjoying my achievements before I attack the next challenge standing in front of me.  Just looking at the last 12 months, we bought a brand new house, we got married, I worked on a lot of great projects, I made more money then I expected, I met a lot of cool and smart people, and lots more. But now that I look at it, I just took it all for granted, instead of stopping for a moment to say “WOW” or “sweet”, or whatever sounds fresh those days.

OK, the above paragraph totally sounds like I’m miserable. I’m not. No really, it’s all good. I’m just amazed with the endless pool of things that I can occupy my mind with. I don’t recall ever saying that I’m bored. There is just so many things I want to do. Now that I think of it, I don’t remember last time I brushed my hair, but that’s because I like to keep them short like my phone conversations. Perhaps a slightly different topic? …Anyways.

Recently I decided to brainwash myself by watching documentaries about the “Law of Attraction” (like “The Secret“). I came to the conclusion that it’s pretty much how I have been living my life without even knowing “the secret science” behind it. Yeah, I did have to deal with some unpleasant crap in the past, but I dealt with it and I moved on. Some might argue, but I think that one’s past doesn’t determine one’s future. There are so many different paths to chose from, that the path you chose doesn’t mater that much. That is, as long as you have a goal, a destination which you want to eventually reach and you are motivated to reach it. (The key word here is motivation). It’s sort of like driving on a highway at night. You’re driving from Saskatoon to Vancouver, and you know that you want to end up in Vancouver even if you can’t see it yet. The only thing you can see is what is few hundred feet in front of you, or whatever the headlights can reach. There is always a chance that you will take a wrong turn or you might get a flat, or the car will break down, or you will run out of gas money, or even stop along the way to enjoy the Okanagan Valley, but this might only slow you down, not prevent you from arriving in Vancouver.

So all this to say that life is awesome, and that I plan to take some tome to enjoy it. My goal is to organize myself to find time again for things that I used to have time for before. Like photography, music production, blogging, and most importantly my wife.
