I'm not sure this is just about martial arts.. but its the reason for posting it.
I'm not a "normal" person. I can't see myself doing a blue collar job for the rest of my life. Right now I am working as a help desk rep helping people with computer issues (I despise what I do). I am one of those people that cannot take passion in my job unless I enjoy doing it.
Right now my time is consumed by video games, mainly the online multiplayer type (WoW). I seem to spend over 50% of my day playing.
My day goes..
- work
- go home and get ready for class
- class
- give son bath, eat get son to sleep
- spend about 30 minutes with the wife until her bed time
- play WoW for 4 hrs til I go to bed
My ultimate goal is to open my own martial arts school here. I've always been about having non normal goals. (acting, musician, artist). However, as of late I have pretty much done nothing with my spare time other than play WoW. I've always been told that I shouldn't stop doing something I enjoy doing. But, how do I curb it? I want to open a school in the future, and I feel that I need to be working on my martial arts more than anything else. For example. Last night I was looking at the elastic steel website trying to research different ways to stretch. But, alas.. I wound up playing WoW. Last night was the first night that I actually felt "burned out" and just didn't want to play.
Along with martial arts. I enjoy drawing, and making music. 2 things I never do because of WoW. I actually have other video games that are collecting dust because of WoW, and pretty much every interest I have gets consumed by that one thing. I know I want to do more martial arts.. I don't want to only train in class. How can I curb it so that it doesn't consume me anymore? Its not as easy as it looks...
