Hi, My name is Greg or Bingus. Whatever you choose to call me. I am an amateur jack of all trades. Due to an ever growing lists of interests I never really learnt how to be good at one thing. Unfortunately this means that there are few things that I can truly talk or speak on with true authority. Fortunately, it means I have a breadth of knowledge on many different topics and interests. Which leads me to perhaps my longest running hobby/interest which is relationships with people. Uniqely I think my breadth of curiosity and understanding has allowed me to speak with many people from different backgrounds about the things they love.
Simiarly I have always been fascinated with the idea of success. Never having a true interest or pursuit has led me to be quite confused as to what I define as success. For some this means money, for others this means spiritual nirvana, and for somebody else this could mean any number of different measurable or non-measurable indicators. Despite this some people succeed at their goals and others don't despite being given a life time to try and do the things you want to do, some people end with regrets on their death bed. I do not want to be one of these people. So this blog is a collection of my thoughts about my own personal growth. My own personal goals and how I will either fail or achieve them. I think any goal is truly achieveable, but the key is picking the right time, the right frame of mind and the right sacrifices.
Time meaning every goal has an expiry date, becoming an olympian is difficult for an 80 year old, so you have to decide early if that is a goal for you. Right frame of mind means not allowing a spurred moment of excietment or failure guide you down the wrong path for 10 years. Choose your goals with a clear head and an objective heart, acknowledge all the shitty parts about yourself, your own selfish goals and ambitions, if you want to be filthy rich like scrooge mcduck, bloody own it! Hiding those things from yourself will lead to being in the wrong frame of mind and consequently following the wrong thing for 10 years. Finally, sacrifices, every goal has costs, To become an olympian you need to adopt a certain lifestyle and you will need to sacrifice eating certain foods or abusing your body. Similarly if you want to become a famous DJ you may have to sacrifice waking up with the sun. On a more serious note, pursuing a family also means you take on a lot of sacrifices, maybe your career will slow considerably or your social circle may become smaller. Goals all come with baggage and its your job to filter what baggage you are willing to take on and what goals you simply cannot live without.
I feel like I went on quite a rant there, but I hope that means you got to learn a lot more about me lol. As a side I have a fantastic girlfriend who supports me in more ways than I know. Two sphymx cats who are as stinky as they are cute. And for a job I work at a print marketing agency. I was a long time hospitality worker before and I used to believe it was my passion as I had not other expierences to compare it to. Since starting this new job I have realised that I want to try as many things as possible so I can make the right decision on what I truly care about. How will I know if I have never even tried. I understand this is a lofty goal (lol) one that I may never achieve. I believe the curiosity itself and the pursuit of understanding is enough to keep me going
