I get so distracted.
I am prone to distraction. I feel like I can never get anything done because I can never concentrate on one thing for more than 5 unbroken minutes. I blame the culture that I live in for me being this way. Every day I come home from work with a new ambition; some new creative dream. I want to be a great programmer. I want to make lots of money programming. I want to have written a great novel. I want to be a great musician, or a great performer. I want to be a director or a video editor. I want to start a popular website that people flock to and enjoy greatly.
At the same time I also feel like I need to take care of the family that I love. To follow my passions would be to forsake my wife and my daughter, and I can’t do that. Are my ambitions a distraction from my responsibilities or are my duties as a husband and a father distractions from my long-shot dreams?
Maybe that question doesn’t even matter. My wife finds time to be a mother and a wife AND runs a very popular coupon blog for our city (she also finds time to write a column for a local magazine). Maybe I can have both a family that I love and who know I love them AND have hobbies.
So, I’m back to my own deficit of attention; which is something that I do not know what to do about. That was a pointless, bummer of a post…
