Wasting time.

Ironically, just at a time when I should be buckling down and working hard on something else in particular, I feel the desire to write - to write about wasting time.

I have a terrible habit of finding a million and one other things to do when I should be doing something more pressing and important.
It's not even that I don't want to do it.
I desperately do.
I just don't.

I think it must be fear. Fear that leads to avoidance. Avoidance. I hate it. I want to clean my life out of frustrating, redundant, ignominious avoidance. I see no purpose or substance in the act of avoidance. No benefit issues forth from it. So why do I allow it's grip to distract and detract from my life. From my purpose.

I just read three notes together in my journal. Unrelated to each other, possibly. But all food for thought to my distracted mind.

1) Focus. On your life goals. On your life purpose.
2) Do not be afraid of purity. When did purity become undesirable anyway?!
3) Do not waste one second.

Yes, life flies by, and this I have been learning a lot of late.
So really - we all need focus, to know ourselves, our values, our goals, our reasons - and to understand the value of time and the tragic impact of wasted seconds.
I don't want to realise in ten years time that I wasted my 20's in avoidance and distraction.

I want focus, purpose, passion.

And having said that...
I'm off to get on with it!!!!
