I Write When I Want To

Nick Momrik1 Comment

We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to.

W. Somerset Maugham

Maugham obviously had never heard of blogs when he made the above quote.

I haven’t made a post here at MDV since August 2nd. I’ve had plenty to write about, but just haven’t felt like it. And guess what, I’m fine with that. It’s my blog. I write when I want to. I really do what to write more often, but we’ll just see how it goes. As the weather gets colder here in Michigan I should have more time to post.

Self Improvement

Nick Momrik1 Comment

I’ve written about being satisfied before and some of my recent posts have hinted at at the fact that I’m not satisfied with myself. In the last couple of weeks I’ve started more changes in my life than at any other time. I’ve attempted to make similar self improvements before and always ended up reverting to my old ways. This time is much different. I’m 100% committed this time around and I’m feeling great.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

–Tolstoy

If we aren’t happy with life we have no one to blame but ourselves. There comes a point when you realise this and make the necessary changes. Self improvement can be one of the most gratifying feelings in the world. Step back and look at your self in the mirror. What are you disappointed with? What can you change? How are you going to change it?

My changes:

  • Exercise on a daily basis.
  • Eat healthier.
  • Drink more water.
  • Take better care of my teeth by brushing more often (with a great Oral-B Triumph toothbrush), using mouthwash, and buying products that contain Xylitol.
  • Made an appointment with a doctor to talk about my sleeping problems.
  • Moved to a safer part of town which also means a shorter drive to work and area stores.

What are you going to do?
