Fuck the Forest

I have many problems but my greatest is that I can't see the trees for the forest! Yes, I said that right! 

Consider my normal circle of events. I get excited about walking to the end of this beautiful forest something, (toned body, being a master chef, writing a novel, communicating with my dad, moving on from the past, reading a book, etc) that I can't see the trees steps that it takes to get there. I only focus on the feeling of accomplishment and my expectation is to do it NOW and receive the feeling of 'Ta-Da' as soon as possible!  My excitement might last anywhere for one hour to a few days depending on how long it takes for either 1. someone knowing the right words to burst my bubble (my fault not theirs but that's another post) or 2. I get frustrated by all the small trees steps that I give up the forest big picture (AKA: lack of discipline). Then the hangover of disappointment visits me and resentment injects itself into a relationship with someone or my own inner confidence. And the circle of never-ending forest continues. 

Whoa - that felt good! One big spoon-full of negativity out of my brain and on paper! And as I can only imagine you are thinking "really....that was depressing?!" My response "Try having this brain inside you".  Moving On! 

Because it's 2013 and I have found myself in this 'Stop talking Shit and Do Something About it, Bitch' mode. I am acknowledging the self awareness of my Tree Fear and changing my habits to find a different 'Ta-Da' moment. I have decided to Fuck the Forest! That's right! I'm going to focus on trees!
