Musings on a Saturday Night

It's a long weekend Saturday night and since we're spending it in, I thought I'd make good use of it and jot down my thoughts.  Found a pen. Check. Looking for a notepad or anything I could write in... Negative, couldn't find any.  Lucky my brain cells kicked in and browsed through my memory bank to remember that I've got a blog and I can all write it all in here.  Over a glass of Fleur de Lis sparkling wine, I turn on my computer and decide to ditch the journal and go tech.

So, here's what I was thinking. Is it possible for a person to change? Change the life they're living and complete change the course?  The life we are living is a result of the everyday choices we make.  My everyday choices are based on habits.  Life long habits are formed stemming from childhood maybe even infancy before consciousness and memory began.  Habits formed and ingrained into my very being.  Some of them good, some of them not so much.  So if I changed some of those not-so-very-good habits, will I be able to change the course of destiny and finally live the life I wanted?  In theory, I'd say, "Yes.  Quite possible."  But I've had these latent thoughts for some time and it's easier said than done.  I consciously tell my brain to unlearn and undo all those no-good habits but as they are called "habits", it just slips right through consciousness and starts playing out in my life.

I'm determined to overcome this and start living the life I want to live by unlearning some things.  Hard as it might be, is it possible to do so?  I want to do it cold turkey and say, "Yes, I'm going to start tomorrow." Or is it better to ease myself into it and train my brain everyday to think differently?  I'm going to go with the former and hope it's a success.  No short cuts, just hard core mind control.

So much for musings on a Saturday night.  This might just end up to be a turning point in my life and change the course of my destiny.
