I have too many things and not enough skill. This is a flaw that I have allowed myself to develop for a while. As I look around I have everything that I want right next to me. Though what I am beginning to notice is that I have more gear then I have skill. I’m finding that it is going to be important for me to get better at the things I like and continue to develop; then to use it all to distract myself.
I have plenty of interests that I am fully capable of perusing. I have 2 guitars at the end of my bed, I can play guitar but I haven’t focused on becoming better at playing in over 2 years. I have all of the tools that I need but currently I only utilize them to distract myself. On my desk are 2 DSLR cameras that are near professional quality, now I feel that I work hard at it also. I have the tool, but now that I have the cameras I don’t shoot with them nearly as much as I should. The unfortunate dilemma with this problem is that I know the solution, but I don’t know how to implement it. I hope to do the best to remedy this problem.
This is applicable in all aspects of my life. My attention is to short, I’m too fragmented, too often I’m multitasking rather than deciding to be really good at the one thing I’m focused on and then move on.
I need to develop myself with what I have; not distract myself with what is around me. I have all the tools, I have nothing stopping me.
