the Wysiblog

So, I’m trying to make sense of my life and get things moving. Well, I need to take care of practical matters first and get my life in order.

With that said, I’m going straight to organizing my finances. The last thing I want, or need, is to be clueless about my money situation.

To help with this daunting task, I’ve bought the book “The Finish Rich Workbook”. It lays out strategies for organizing and controlling your finances. The first task in the book is to gather and organize your financial documents. I’ve started this process but it’s definitely a time consuming item and will take a day or two (of my spare time) to get this done.

I also know I could probably count on a certain financial guy I know pretty well to throw me a few pointers now and then.

I pulled this theme of the net. It looks cool. We’ll see…

Brian, a friend and client, posted this Japanese proverb as a comment. It couldn’t be more appropriate. He’s the man.

I’ve never heard this quote before and man, do I love it. Since I’m transitioning the blog, I’ve decided to rename it because the wysiblog doesn’t quite fit anymore. So, from now on the blog will be known as Stand Up Eight.

Over the next few weeks I hope to update the them and make the site look better and more appropriate.

Ok, I mentioned in my previous post about feeling trapped and I didn’t really explain it that well.

This is a hard one. I know I can do whatever but I feel paralyzed right now. I’m not really doing anything but I’m so busy most of the time that I don’t have time to do anything. It’s almost paradoxical.

I guess that the problem for me is that I’m forced to live day-to-day, at least emotionally. I can’t really plan something except for the immediate short term. I don’t have a long term right now. I had it but it’s gone.

I’m trying to look at the future but it doesn’t seem to fit right now. It doesn’t feel right planning like that so I just let things come day by day and try and enjoy those moments. It’s not really a bad way to live but I’m such a future directed person that it’s very unsettling to go about my business in this manner. Bills, savings, holidays, events like birthdays and anniversaries are all forgotten right now. I just plug on. What else can I do?

I guess that’s why I need those events, from my previous post, to take place. They will free my from my limbo and allow me to move past. Hopefully, that will be sooner than later.

Peace,
Scott

Ok, my life’s really screwed up now and I feel slightly trapped.

I’m waiting for some significant events to take place before I feel more able to let loose.

1) my lawyers to get there stuff together
2) sell my house
3) get a new place
4) settle my job situation

Right now, it feels like I’m on hold. Mostly because I need the house to sell but that was my choice. I’m comfortable here but I can’t leave till it’s sold so although it’s home it doesn’t always feel that way. I think that is my biggest issue right now.

So, if you know someone that wants to look at a house have them contact me.

So, I think that many of you know that I’m going through some big changes in my life. Most of them, not expected or wanted. But, hey, that’s what life’s all about right? It’s not what happens to you but how you deal with it…

Anyway, since my life is going through a change, I believe that my blog needs to go through a change also. So, and it might take a little bit of time, I’m going to refocus my blog.

I’me frustrated with my career and where I am. I’m re-examaning everything. I feel like I need a change. I’m going to use this blog to help me figure those things out. I don’t want to be living the “unexamined life”. I want to make Socrates proud!

So, you might get a rant or two or maybe even an insight but hopefully you’ll see some growth and personal triumphs emanating from my humble website. I want you, the reader (are you out there) to tell me where you think I’m going wrong or to praise my efforts or just kick back and read. Hopefully, I can help you too.

So, let’s get started, cool?
