There's not much to say about these 5 past days. I slept until noon in most cases and I didn't do anything that was worth searing here on the blog. Today was different though. I woke up at about 10.30 even if I wanted to be up at 8, but it's ok, slowly, and in time I will get to sleep less and do more.
I ate a small breakfast and then I went to pay some bills. There are some people that believe that if you spend money on Monday you will spend money all week. I do not believe this. For me, Monday is a good day to spend money and it doesn't mean that I won't get a lot of money that week. I'm not saying that it couldn't be true and you couldn't end up spending money all week because you started that on Monday. I think it's all up to you and all that you think, eventually comes true. If you think it can happen, it will probably happen.
Today, and from now on, my plan is to stay outside more, a lot more, and stay in front of the computer less. I need to take care of my health, because it's the most important thing I got, and without a proper health, there's not much you can do. I made a simple plan to do more things that are simple but important for me that will both improve my health and bring an overall improvement in my personal development. I hope it works!
Here are a couple of the things I want to do every day from now on:
Stay out of the house for at least 1 hour each day - this may not be a problem for you, but it has become a huge problem of mine. I had days when I wouldn't even go out of the house.
Workout for at least 30 minutes daily - I have periods when I do this for 3-4 days and then slack of. I need to do it day in and day out to stay in shape. The simple fact that I didn't do this daily has made my body a lot weaker and I'm now going through the 3-rd cold this year! I never, ever had 3 colds in the same year. This is a clear sign that I must do something.
Read personal development books for at least 30 minutes daily.
Secret thing - this is personal (at least for now). I will share this with you later.
Read other books like novels for at least 30 minutes daily. Reading other types of books is a good thing as it opens me to new ideas, concepts and ways of seeing things and if it will make me improve my personal development then it's a good thing to do.
Wash my teeth 1 hour after each meal.
Read at least 2 words from the Dictionary daily (on of my goals is to read the Dictionary at least once).
Read at least 1 page of the Bible daily - I already read more than half of the Bible and I want to finish it. It's truly The Book Of Books and I enjoy reading it.
Sleep for about 6 hours daily. This is one of the hardest things I want to do, as my sleeping habits are so bad right now, but I know I can do it with a lot of effort. In time I will sleep 6 hours or less per night.
Not more than 4 hours per day in front of the computer. This will dramatically improve my health, as on average I stayed in front of the laptop for about 9 hours! Today I will stay less than 4 hours :) so I'm doing well.
Listen to a personal development audio for at least 30 minutes per day. I think that reading is not enough and I want to also listen to some personal development audios.
This is my simple, little plan. I want to make it work and change things around. We will see what happens.
I embrace you,
Razvan

30 Days Of My Public Journal - Days 9-15
March 18 2009
I woke up at 8.30 (my second day of waking up at a reasonable hour, do I hear fireworks :)) I watched some TV while I was eating. I did some work today and that's a good thing. I got to bed at about 23.00 because tomorrow I will head for Bucharest as one of my friends is celebrating his birthday and has invited me and Diana over.
March 19-24 2009
On the 19-th I went to Bucharest and all day I was out for some shopping with Diana. Friday, the 20-th, me, Diana and Costin (the friend who's birthday we are celebrating) were all day in the kitchen making the yummiest food you could eat. We had cake (the best one I ever ate), chicken, beef, etc. It was a fun day, although it was a little tiring, it was worth it.
The birthday started at about 21.00 when the rest of Costin's friends came and we started eating and drinking. It was a great night. but at about 03.30 I just couldn't keep myself up and I doze of for a while. The next day we all woke up after noon (almost all the guests slept over). This day was a full day of movies and I think that we watched over 7 movies that day.
The 22-th was the day I had to return back home. We woke up at 11.00, ate and started playing some Conquiztador, a pretty popular game now. At about 14.30 I left for the bus station. It was funny to be back home again. I had lots of fun and I should do this often.
23 March was a day of work, Feng Shui reading, Heroes playing and eating. It passed fast as I woke up at about 10.00. The 24-th wasn't very different from yesterday. Woke up at 11.30 I think and I started playing (it turned out to be a whole playing day).
I didn't get to write more these days, but I had lots of fun and that's great. See you tomorrow!
I embrace you,
Razvan

30 Days Of My Public Journal - Day 8
March 17 2009
Woke up at 8.30, a new personal best for the last 7 days. Had breakfast and watched a half hour of TV and then started working (finally, I started working again). I worked until 11.40 with a 10 minutes break from the computer at 10.00. Then 30 minutes of Heroes and ate lunch with my grandmother and my little cousin, Mihaela, who is in the first grade.
After a funny lunch (funny because of Mihaela who does everything so fast, talks fast, writes fast, talks when she should be eating...) she watched 20 minutes of cartoons and I read about Feng Shui. Then started making her homework and I helped until 14.55 when we both took a well deserved break.
The rest of the day I read about Feng Shui, played some Heroes, watched a little Harry Potter and wrote this very short post. My cough seems to be getting better, but it's just day 2 of the sirop and I hope that by day 7 I will be completely cured.
I watched Oprah form 22.00 to 22.50 and I saw a couple of amazing people and cases, but there was one that really left a mark. It was the case of a beautiful woman who suffered a car accident which burned 60% of her body and left her with a desfigured face. And although this woman suffered such a dramatic blow, you know what she said? She said that she is glad to be alive so that she still has time to do all the things that she wouldn't have done if she died.
She also said that she only cries 5 minutes per day. Her cousin sees her crying and says: "Your time is up." and she laugh while she said that. She sees such beaty in life as not many people see. She sees herself as she was before, in the inside, although her outside is not that anymore. This left me with shivers down my spine. If she wants to live a full life, then us, the people who are healthy, shouldn't we live life to its fullest and treat it like a wonderful gift?
I embrace you,
Razvan

30 Days Of My Public Journal - Day 7
March 16 2009
The day started at 10.36 for me with a small breakfast of some good cakes. After that I started reading from Og for about an hour until 11.40. I took a break from reading and just lied down in bed for a while. I ate lunch and then my grandmother asked for my help. She needed someone to cut some of the branches of the tree that was lying in the courtyard. I've sad I would help and went outside.
I cut branches for about 2 hours from 13.00 to 15.00, after which I realized I can do something great with a couple of branches. I'm not going to spill it out because my girlfriend maybe reading this and it's a little surprise for her (sorry, Diana, but I'm not going to tell you what it is :) It was 16.00 when I finished the whole thing and went inside the house and watched a half hour of Walker, Texas Ranger.
I played a half hour of Heroes and at about 17.00, my uncle called to ask me if I could go to a local store and buy something for him, so there I went. About half hour later I was back home and started reading about Feng Shui as I'm really interested in this topic. I will try to write a couple of posts on this topic, with things that might help you as well. Whenever I find out something useful and interesting I will write it down and when I have a couple of good things to share with you I will post it here on the blog.
At about 18.00 I took my cough sirop, because I have this annoying cough for almost 4 weeks now and I bought a 95% natural sirop and I hope I will get rid of it. Then my uncle came and took what I had bought for him and we also talked a bit. It was 19.20 when I started working out. Then I opened the laptop and droped some entrecard cards and just browsed until about 20.20, when I started to write this post so that I wouldn't forget what I had done until this hour.
After writing a big chunk of this post I've played Heroes for 1 hour and a half and Championship Manager for another 40 minutes. It's now time to put this post on the blog as it is almost 24.00. This 30 days trial is turning to be a real self discipline exercise for me as I have to write most of what I do everyday and it requires a level of effort, even if that is small, it's still an effort. I'm glad I've chosen to do this and I'm sure that good things will come out of this in the near future.
I embrace you,
Razvan

30 Days Of My Public Journal - Day 6
March 15 2009
Today I woke up at 10.00 after staying last night until 02.00 because I watched 2 hours of Lord Of The Rings Part 1. I didn't watch the whole Part 1 because I was just too asleep. Even if it's the second time I'm seeing this movie, it feels like it is the first. It's that good. In my opinion, this is one of the best movies ever made.
After waking up and having breakfast, I watched Hercule Poirot. It was a very good episode (most of them are very good in my opinion). Diana was preparing her bags as she had to leave for Bucharest today. After Poirot ended we left for the station.
I helped her to get seated in the bus and I left for my apartment. There I played Heroes for about 3 hours. I don't really know why is this game so addictive to me. I do not understand. I know I have the power to stop playing it, but I don't use it. Many times after I stop playing, I realize that I haven't really accomplished anything.
I just satisfied my desire to play and that's not very much. It's not like I left something behind. When I work, or when I write, I'm creating. I'm leaving something behind. Small marks are left on the hot sand. Maybe these marks will be wiped away by the storm, but for now, they are there for anyone to see. We never know if our marks will stand the passing of time, but we know that at least one human will know that we made those marks: we will know of them.
Sometimes someone else also sees the marks. It can happen. Other times our marks are so gracious and powerful that they stand on the sand for ages and people look at them with amazement. The marks are o beautiful that people are just overwhelmed. Now, wouldn't it e amazing if we all left marks like that?
Sorry for sidetracking here. It's just that when I feel something, when I feel that I can leave the smallest mark possible, I do not hesitate in doing so. I think we should all try to leave our mark wherever is possible. It doesn't mean if you write, dance, sing, speak. The only thing that matters is that you do the best you can.
I embrace you,
Razvan

30 Days Of My Public Journal - Day 5
March 14 2009
A short, not very eventful Saturday is just about to end as I am writing this post at 25.45. Today I woke up at 10.00 and had a short, good breakfast, after which I watched some TV while my girlfriend and her sister went for some shopping.
Most of the day I watched TV or played on the computer and now, we have just begun watching Lord of The Rings, Part 1 and we will keep watching until we get too tired to press on, so I do not really know when I will go to sleep, but sometimes you just have to do little crazy things, like staying until 4 am to see a movie.
This is one of my shortest posts mainly because I want to get back to the movie. Although I saw it before, it's one of my favorites and I really enjoy watching it again. See you soon!
I embrace you,
Razvan

30 Days Of My Public Journal - Day 4
13. Friday. Sounds spooky, right? Until now at least, it hasn't been. I woke up somewhere near 11.00 (pretty near my regular hour :)) This is not funny anymore. Getting up so late makes me loose the best thing, the morning. The morning is the best part of the day for me, but it seems that if I do not do something I will miss it a lot in the future as I tend to sleep more than 10 hours per night in over 75% of the days.
Does this happen to you also? What advice can you give me in order to stop sleeping so late in the morning? I mean, except sleep early in the evening or get a job :)) This is what I know. If you got something else, please leave a comment. I appreciate it.
I got up, ate a healthy breakfast in bed with my girlfriend and then we prepared to go to my grandma and afterward to my apartment. When we got to the apartment we fed out 3 hamsters and instead of getting some work done, as we were supposed to, I suggested that we both played the same map in Heroes (me and my big mouth), and guess what? Diana agreed. And here we were, for the next 3 hours we played and played some more. It was fun.
At about 18.30 we realized that we had to eat something or else we wouldn't have any more energy left. After that Diana stayed a little while at the computer and we got dressed and we went to her parents were we looked at TV for a while. It was a short day this, but any day that I'm around my girlfriend is just amazing. She is that kind of person that you always want to have around. She makes me laugh and each time I look at her beautiful smile I realize how happy and grateful I am that I know her and that she is my girlfriend.
This is all for today. See you tomorrow!
I embrace you,
Razvan

30 Days Of My Public Journal - Day 3
Today my waking hour was around 9.00 and given that I slept last night somewhere around 02.10, I slept around 7 hours. After I woke up I had breakfast and went with my girlfriend to a local company were she needed to go to get some data for her final paper at the university. We got there around 10.15 and the whole thing took about 50 minutes and then we went to see what animals were at the Zoo.
I personally haven't been to the Zoo in a couple of years, and being there today really made me happy. There were about 15-20 big animals there, like tigers, lions, bears, emu, crocodiles, etc and also some smaller fish and snakes. It was really relaxing to just stroll around the Zoo and look at those pretty animals. The only thing that bothers me is that they aren't free. They are in cages, while their spirits desire freedom.
Most of the animals have just got used to being there, in cages, and I think they have just accepted the idea that they will never be out. If it were up to me I would just take them and set them free in the wild. Whenever I see a caged animal I put myself in that animal's place and believe me, it's not pretty at all. Sitting there in a small cage, with a lot of people just staring at you, day after day. Nothing new happens and you die. This is no way to live, animal of human.
Seeing all of this made me wonder: "Do we really need to have caged animals? Why do we need them like this? Is it so important that out children see the animals and know how they really look like? Can't this be done some other way? Would we like if we or our children would be looked down in cages for other forms of lives to see and analyze?" It's just inhumane to keep a living creature in a cage. It slowly starts to die the moment you put it in that lousy cage.
We people are the worst kind of animals. We kill for sport and sometimes even enjoy killing. we close animals in cages just so that we can look at them. Why can't we just accept the fact that all animals must be free? Why must we make these mistakes over and over again and hurt animals and other people as well? Why can't we just let our good side out in the open and take decisions based on what out hearts is telling us? Why?
You should have seen the vulture. He was so beautiful and his power was sparkling from his eyes, but something was wrong. He couldn't fly anymore because the cage he was in was just too damn small. He just couldn't spread his wings and fly, even for a second. If he only could, he would surely feel a lot better. And you know what the worst part is? I'm sure that the people that are responsible of putting these animals in cages are trapped in cages of their own. They can't fly either, because if they could, they would have seen from the air that eagles are free and do not belong in cages. If they only could fly...but they never will, although it's so easy for them. People are never trapped in cages. No one can do that except themselves.
After this good and bad experience at the Zoo, we went to my grandma's and had munch and after that we took a short nap of 2 hours :)) (pretty short right :)) We left my grandmother's house at about 16.30 and went to Diana's parents were we just watched TV and ate some roasted sun flower seeds until about 19.30 when we ate dinner and after that talked a little bit and then I headed to take a bath and minute after minute, the clock is now 23.30 and I'm writing this.
It was a sunny day and I'm glad we enjoyed this day with a lot of walking. See you tomorrow! Have a great day of your own!
I embrace you,

I personally haven't been to the Zoo in a couple of years, and being there today really made me happy. There were about 15-20 big animals there, like tigers, lions, bears, emu, crocodiles, etc and also some smaller fish and snakes. It was really relaxing to just stroll around the Zoo and look at those pretty animals. The only thing that bothers me is that they aren't free. They are in cages, while their spirits desire freedom.
Most of the animals have just got used to being there, in cages, and I think they have just accepted the idea that they will never be out. If it were up to me I would just take them and set them free in the wild. Whenever I see a caged animal I put myself in that animal's place and believe me, it's not pretty at all. Sitting there in a small cage, with a lot of people just staring at you, day after day. Nothing new happens and you die. This is no way to live, animal of human.
Seeing all of this made me wonder: "Do we really need to have caged animals? Why do we need them like this? Is it so important that out children see the animals and know how they really look like? Can't this be done some other way? Would we like if we or our children would be looked down in cages for other forms of lives to see and analyze?" It's just inhumane to keep a living creature in a cage. It slowly starts to die the moment you put it in that lousy cage.
We people are the worst kind of animals. We kill for sport and sometimes even enjoy killing. we close animals in cages just so that we can look at them. Why can't we just accept the fact that all animals must be free? Why must we make these mistakes over and over again and hurt animals and other people as well? Why can't we just let our good side out in the open and take decisions based on what out hearts is telling us? Why?
You should have seen the vulture. He was so beautiful and his power was sparkling from his eyes, but something was wrong. He couldn't fly anymore because the cage he was in was just too damn small. He just couldn't spread his wings and fly, even for a second. If he only could, he would surely feel a lot better. And you know what the worst part is? I'm sure that the people that are responsible of putting these animals in cages are trapped in cages of their own. They can't fly either, because if they could, they would have seen from the air that eagles are free and do not belong in cages. If they only could fly...but they never will, although it's so easy for them. People are never trapped in cages. No one can do that except themselves.

30 Days Of My Public Journal - Day 2
Today was kind of a short day for me, mainly because I overslept and instead of getting up early, I woke up at 11.00 which means I slept for about 10 hours. This is too much in my book, and when I think that there are people that sleep for 5-6 hours and then go to work, I really feel weak and ashamed as I sleep 9-10 hours and when I woke up I do not go to work, even if I work from home, I do not have a boss to report to, my only boss is me. It's actually pretty hard to have oneself as a boss, because you can often be subjective with what you do.
It's really hard o control yourself and to keep to a regular plan of action, because when you feel that you just want to slack off there isn't someone there to say: "Hey, get back to work you lazy bean!" There's only you and yourself. And every time you say: "I feel like slaking off today. I will just stop doing anything today and just hang around.", when you say that, not that it's not ok to take a day off now and there, but you may end up taking too much days off and you will then be laying, not to your boss, but to yourself. And lying to yourself can be the worst kind of lie you will ever tell.
Anyway, I got a little sidetracked there. Back to business. Actually I woke up at 8.20 and had a little breakfast and then I just headed back to sleep again and finally woke up at 11.00 and had lunch with my grandma and my girlfriends father which was in the area to help my grandma with stuff in the garden. I really enjoyed talking to them and were sorry that I overslept and missed a wonderful morning. The sun was up today and it shined beautifully like it didn't in a long time.
After I ate I opened my computer and verified my email and related stuff and then I got dressed and went to a nearby store to buy credit for my grandma's phone. After this was over I went to my apartment which is situated at about 3 km away so I got a chance to take a little walk and enjoy the sunny day. In my way to my apartment I also went to pay my electric bill but didn't do so because they said I have to wait for the written bill to come. At home I played a little Heroes and took a bath and then I went to pick up my girlfriend which arrived from her university today and is going to stay here, with me for a couple of days. By the way, honey, if you are reading this, I love you from the bottom of my heart and even deeper and "Happy birthday! for march 8 as I didn't day it here on the blog until now. Love you!
Me and my girlfriend went the apartment and ate and after she took a bath we went to her parent's place where her sister was arrived with her little boy, which my girlfriend, Diana, loves and really enjoy playing with. So, it was about 18.30 when she started playing with Mihaita and the whole thing ended somewhere at 19.40 or something like that because Diana's sister had to get back home as it was getting late and Mihaita must sleep at about 21.00 as he is only about 2 years old. By the way, if you are reading this, Ramona, Mihaita can't wait to finally meet you ;)
After that we just hang around with Diana's mother, watched some TV and then, at about 20.20 we went to my grandma which lives nearby and stayed with her for about an hour and returned her parents house were I am right now as it is about 10.56 and I'm writing this post. So, I didn't get any work done today, but it was a good day, I enjoyed the sun and if I could only wake up early, everything would be alright. But, you can't have them all and I know that in the future, I will get up earlier and do more in the course of a day. Thank you for reading!
I embrace you,
Razvan

30 Days Of My Public Journal - Day 1
Today is the first day of the 30 days in which I will keep a sharp eye on what I am doing with my time to see how I stand in the areas that I am not very happy with. This will allow me to get a pretty good idea of what I must do to improve the quality of my life.
March 10 2009
Last night I have gone to sleep at 03.00 o'clock in the morning and I woke up at 08.25. I ate breakfast at 8.30 and then I just lied in bed for the next 15 minutes. It's pretty interesting that I only slept for about 5 and 1/2 hours (and this doesn't happen very often as I tend to sleep a lot more), it's curious that I did this today, the first day that I chose to make part of my 30 days "were I am" experiment.
Hmmm, this could mean that the simple fact that I decided to start this little experiment made me change something. This is great! I can't wait to see what other things I will change in this 30 days period.
At about 8.45 I started reading from "Secrets for success and happiness" by Og Mandino which is a great book about how you can have a wonderful life. I did read for a while until 09.45 after which I washed my teeth. From 10 to 10.40 I just browsed through some sites from my entrecard widget and droped a few cards here and there. It's very interesting to see other people's sites, because everyone has something new and beautiful to offer and just by reading some of the posts I came across, I feel very happy.
At about 10.50 I started reading an article about how to become an early riser at stevepavlina.com as this is one thing that I want to do in the near future. I read until 11.33 and then I took a break from the computer. I returned to it at 12.00 and continued reading about sleep until 13.00 when I had lunch. At 13.30 I went for a little walk. I returned and I watched Harry Potter 1 for about an hour (I didn't watch it until the end as it is about 2 and a half hours long). I enjoy Harry Potter and already seen 1 to 5 and can't wait for part 6 to be released. I haven't read any of the book, but I will in the future.
It was about 14.50 when I took a break from Potter and started playing Heroes of Might and Magic - Wake of the Gods. It's not the newest version but it's pretty ok and I enjoy it (although I will have to reduce the time I spend playing because it's conflicting with other things I want to do). I played for about 90 minutes and then I took another break from the computer for about a half an hour.
At 16.30 I read something about polyphasic sleep which means sleeping 2-3 hours a night in 20-30 minutes slices at a 4 hour intervals. This sound interesting and I might try it somewhere down the road, but for now I want to reduce the amount of hours that I'm sleeping, in other ways than polyphasic sleep. It's now 17.05 and I'm writing this day report of what I've done until this hour. I'm very excited and also curious to see if I can do this for 30 days, as it may sound easy to keep a journal for 30 days, but for me it's a real challenge and I hope I am up to it. we will see... I'm going to get something to eat now so talk to you later!
Man, those Tom and Jerry and funny :)) I just watched them while I was eating and they made me laugh. They truly are the best cartoon ever in my book! It's now 17.33 and I'm going to get some work done from now as I haven't done anything today in regards to that. Wish me good luck! Well, this didn't take very long as it's 18.00 and I feel kind of tired and I'm going to try to take a 20 minutes nap and see how I feel afterwords. I hope I can continue my work then.
I wasn't really a 20 minutes nap, it was more of a 1 hour nap and after a woke up I didn't get to work, but I read for a half hour and I even exercised, so it was time well spent. Ar 20.00 I started writing for the blog and finishing this day report. It's now 21.48 and I just finished the main post that will announce the start of this 30 days trial or experiment. Probably the last thing that I will do today is watch the football game between Liverpool and Real Madrid which has already started. After the match I will go to bed, so that's going to be somewhere around 24.00 Have a great day!
I embrace you,
Razvan

My first 30 days experiment
I haven't wrote anything for a while on this blog, but time has come to write again. I was very busy in this time and this blog, which is my soul blog and the one that I love writing for, had to suffer the most. In the past I started a category about being grateful and I wanted to post daily for 30 days a thing that I was grateful for. I didn't get past day 10 as I remember, but this doesn't mean that I won't do it, just that I won't do it right now. Now, I want to do something different that requires a lot of commitment from my part. I though that by posting my thoughts here and share it with you, this will give even more reasons to do it.
But what am I talking about? I want to change the way my life is going, because I know that I can have a much better life and I want t learn to celebrate my life as I love it and feel grateful for living. There are some things in my life that are not going as I want them to and I want to do something about this. I want to change because I know now that life isn't happening to me, life is because of me.
Everything that is happening to me (excepting some events that I can not control) is happening as an effect of some decisions I made somewhere in the past. I believe this to be true for me as it is for anyone else. I do not believe that we are just carried away by life, here and there, although some people use this as an excuse to just not do anything with their own life. I believe that I am in control of my own actions and thoughts and that everyone has the same control over their own lives.
Can you picture a child, an innocent human being that is laughing with all his soul? Can you hear him/her laugh? I can hear him/her as well. Wouldn't it be great if we would all laugh like that all our lives. I want to do that. I'm not going to let the child in me die. It will never die. In the past I wasn't as open as I would want and I still have a long way ahead of me, but I love the journey far more than the destination. I am going to enjoy the journey to the better me. I realized how much more I can do with my life and how much more I can help other people change their own lives, but as the old saying goes "Before trying to change the world you must be able to change yourself".
So, I must be able to change myself first before I can help anyone else and I wanted to post the things I will go through here on this blog, because, maybe you will find this helpful someway and even if I can help you in an indirect way, I'm very happy. I hope we will meet some day or that I can help you in a more direct way. I hope that you and I can laugh like children once more...
I've decided that in order to change my life, I must first know exactly were I stand today, so I am going to go through an interesting experiment, something that I have never done before. I am going to keep a public journal of my own life for 30 days. I am going to do this as I believe that 30 days are going to give me all the data I need to know were I am and what I have to do to get from here to were I want to be.
Before starting this experiment, I thought that I would make a list of almost all of the things (it could be that I forgot something, but if I remember anything I will add it) that I want to improve and were I think I am today so that I have something to compare with the results after the 30 days will end. These numbers are all estimated ones, numbers that I think represent my current situation but I may get some surprises in these 30 days, who knows? Some of the things that I am going to write here are very personal, but I want to share them with you because I want to really change and like I said, I want to help other as well, and maybe someone will find something here that will help. I would be very happy if that would happen. So, here it goes:
1. Sleep - 10 hours
One of the things I want to change is the number of hours that I sleep. I currently sleep on average about 10 hours, which is much more than I want. I want to get back some hours by sleeping less because I feel that I can sleep much less and still be very rested if not even more rested.
2. Walks - once at 2 days
For a while now, I feel that I have been isolating myself from others, and I spend much time in front of the computer. I want to get out more, meet new people and take better care of my health. Here, I mainly want to go out more, take a walk daily and not live my life in front of the PC. I think that I am currently going out once at 2 days. Will see what I find out after the 30 days.
3. Staying in front of the computer - 10 hours daily
This is way too much for me, and I want to reduce this as know that anyone shouldn't stay at the computer more than 4 hours daily! Staying more than that means a lot of problems regarding one's health.
4. Shower - once per week
I know people that shower twice a day, and still I only do it once a week, on average. I do not take that much care of myself, but the important thing is that I want to make a chance in this and want to take care of myself.
5. Wash my head - once per week
Although this is part of the shower, I want to put this in a separate category of it's own because I may have to deal with some serious boldness in the future if I do not take real good care of my hair now. My father is bold right now, and I will be the same, if I do not take some measures. I'm not saying that boldness is a bad thing, but I love my hair and I want it right there on my head, not down on the floor.
6. Reading personal development books - 10 pages at 4 days
This is way too little for me. In the past I would read 20 pages per day, but that was then and this is now. Things will change for the better. I guarantee it, because I will make them change.
7. Listening to personal development audios or watching videos - 30 minutes at 6 days
This is again very low and has to be improved. Listening to people that live a wonderful life, gives me motivation and energy to try to find my own road to greatness. I know that everyone has one, a road to greatness. It's just that some people make a wrong turn somewhere across the road and never get back on the right trail. This is why there are so many unhappy people in the world, this is why we go to crappy jobs even though we hate them and we would love to do something else. We all have at least one thing that we can become exceptional in if we would try, but we just don't try and live crappy lives. What a shame!
8. Workout - 30 minutes at 4 days
I have to workout more because I'm starting to feel weak and anemic. In the past, when I would go to the gym and also workout at home, I would feel great. Now, I feel weak and illnesses seem to be more powerful then me, where in the past I would even get a cold. Now, I have a cold that has been my "good" friends for the past 3 weeks!
9. Running - once in 6 months!
This is awful! 6 months? I like to run, but I've been very lazy in this department and things have got to change. I want to run at least once a week. The feeling of taking that fresh air in and running faster and faster is unbelievable and irreplaceable and I want to experience it more often.
10. Working - 2 hours per day
I work from home and right now I am only working about 2 hours per day. This means that I will achieve my goals later rather than sooner. This is why I want to both increase the amount and quality of the work I do.
11. Calling friends and relatives - rarely
I have a sort of a "calling" problem. I either forget to call the important people in my life or just are to lazy to do it. It's a shame really, because i love them all, but I must also show them that I love them. If I'm the only one that knows that, well then, it's not that fun. Everyone loves to get a phone call from their friend or from their nephew and an "I love you!" is always welcomed and cherished. I must really improve in this department.
12. Trips outside town - one each 4 months
This is another area that I do not like were I am. One trip outside my town in 4 months! It's huge! I love t travel and see new places and this is why this 4 months things has got to go. A trip every month sounds more up my alley!
13. Eating fruits - 1 daily
This could sound pretty silly for some people, but it's very important for me. I want to eat at least 5 fruits daily so that I can improve and keep my health and live longer. Eating 5 fruits a day may not be a big deal for you, but for me, well, I haven't yet done it. Now yet...
14. Brushing my teeth - once per day
I want to brush my teeth after each meal. By the way did you know that if you brush your teeth right after a meal you are actually a bad thing to your teeth? Just read
this post about brushing your teeth
15. Social life - what social life?
In this area I am probably at the bottom of the pit or very near to it. I rarely go out with friends because most of them do not live in my town anymore because of their work. I do not go out to make new friends because of my laziness and ... I don't know, it's something that is holding me down. I want to get involved in some volunteering work in the near future and help others and also meet new people. This is one area that is very important to me, but as it looks right now, you wouldn't have guessed it was.
16. My real passion - ...
My passion has had to suffer in the past, because I listened to what others said I should do and because I didn't have more courage. My real passion, the thing that makes me jump out of bed in the morning, that makes me stay up all night, is... writing. I love to write! It's the most wonderful thing I could ever do! I could do it without taking a break!
I would love to become a known writer and help people throw my books and I know I can do it, it's just up to me. This area is one that I haven't dedicated a lot of time, but I will make time for it from now. I think I have a little talent in writing, but I would love to hear from you after you read "The Prayer" one of my little stories and tell me if you think it's good or not so good. Any feedback, either positive or not so positive is very appreciated!
These are the most important things that I want to bring a change to. I will keep you posted and if you have something to say, or some advice maybe, just write a comment bellow and I thank you for it!
Thank you for reading this!

But what am I talking about? I want to change the way my life is going, because I know that I can have a much better life and I want t learn to celebrate my life as I love it and feel grateful for living. There are some things in my life that are not going as I want them to and I want to do something about this. I want to change because I know now that life isn't happening to me, life is because of me.
Everything that is happening to me (excepting some events that I can not control) is happening as an effect of some decisions I made somewhere in the past. I believe this to be true for me as it is for anyone else. I do not believe that we are just carried away by life, here and there, although some people use this as an excuse to just not do anything with their own life. I believe that I am in control of my own actions and thoughts and that everyone has the same control over their own lives.
Can you picture a child, an innocent human being that is laughing with all his soul? Can you hear him/her laugh? I can hear him/her as well. Wouldn't it be great if we would all laugh like that all our lives. I want to do that. I'm not going to let the child in me die. It will never die. In the past I wasn't as open as I would want and I still have a long way ahead of me, but I love the journey far more than the destination. I am going to enjoy the journey to the better me. I realized how much more I can do with my life and how much more I can help other people change their own lives, but as the old saying goes "Before trying to change the world you must be able to change yourself".
So, I must be able to change myself first before I can help anyone else and I wanted to post the things I will go through here on this blog, because, maybe you will find this helpful someway and even if I can help you in an indirect way, I'm very happy. I hope we will meet some day or that I can help you in a more direct way. I hope that you and I can laugh like children once more...
I've decided that in order to change my life, I must first know exactly were I stand today, so I am going to go through an interesting experiment, something that I have never done before. I am going to keep a public journal of my own life for 30 days. I am going to do this as I believe that 30 days are going to give me all the data I need to know were I am and what I have to do to get from here to were I want to be.
Before starting this experiment, I thought that I would make a list of almost all of the things (it could be that I forgot something, but if I remember anything I will add it) that I want to improve and were I think I am today so that I have something to compare with the results after the 30 days will end. These numbers are all estimated ones, numbers that I think represent my current situation but I may get some surprises in these 30 days, who knows? Some of the things that I am going to write here are very personal, but I want to share them with you because I want to really change and like I said, I want to help other as well, and maybe someone will find something here that will help. I would be very happy if that would happen. So, here it goes:
1. Sleep - 10 hours
One of the things I want to change is the number of hours that I sleep. I currently sleep on average about 10 hours, which is much more than I want. I want to get back some hours by sleeping less because I feel that I can sleep much less and still be very rested if not even more rested.
2. Walks - once at 2 days
For a while now, I feel that I have been isolating myself from others, and I spend much time in front of the computer. I want to get out more, meet new people and take better care of my health. Here, I mainly want to go out more, take a walk daily and not live my life in front of the PC. I think that I am currently going out once at 2 days. Will see what I find out after the 30 days.
3. Staying in front of the computer - 10 hours daily
This is way too much for me, and I want to reduce this as know that anyone shouldn't stay at the computer more than 4 hours daily! Staying more than that means a lot of problems regarding one's health.
4. Shower - once per week
I know people that shower twice a day, and still I only do it once a week, on average. I do not take that much care of myself, but the important thing is that I want to make a chance in this and want to take care of myself.
5. Wash my head - once per week
Although this is part of the shower, I want to put this in a separate category of it's own because I may have to deal with some serious boldness in the future if I do not take real good care of my hair now. My father is bold right now, and I will be the same, if I do not take some measures. I'm not saying that boldness is a bad thing, but I love my hair and I want it right there on my head, not down on the floor.
6. Reading personal development books - 10 pages at 4 days
This is way too little for me. In the past I would read 20 pages per day, but that was then and this is now. Things will change for the better. I guarantee it, because I will make them change.
7. Listening to personal development audios or watching videos - 30 minutes at 6 days
This is again very low and has to be improved. Listening to people that live a wonderful life, gives me motivation and energy to try to find my own road to greatness. I know that everyone has one, a road to greatness. It's just that some people make a wrong turn somewhere across the road and never get back on the right trail. This is why there are so many unhappy people in the world, this is why we go to crappy jobs even though we hate them and we would love to do something else. We all have at least one thing that we can become exceptional in if we would try, but we just don't try and live crappy lives. What a shame!
8. Workout - 30 minutes at 4 days
I have to workout more because I'm starting to feel weak and anemic. In the past, when I would go to the gym and also workout at home, I would feel great. Now, I feel weak and illnesses seem to be more powerful then me, where in the past I would even get a cold. Now, I have a cold that has been my "good" friends for the past 3 weeks!
9. Running - once in 6 months!
This is awful! 6 months? I like to run, but I've been very lazy in this department and things have got to change. I want to run at least once a week. The feeling of taking that fresh air in and running faster and faster is unbelievable and irreplaceable and I want to experience it more often.
10. Working - 2 hours per day
I work from home and right now I am only working about 2 hours per day. This means that I will achieve my goals later rather than sooner. This is why I want to both increase the amount and quality of the work I do.
11. Calling friends and relatives - rarely
I have a sort of a "calling" problem. I either forget to call the important people in my life or just are to lazy to do it. It's a shame really, because i love them all, but I must also show them that I love them. If I'm the only one that knows that, well then, it's not that fun. Everyone loves to get a phone call from their friend or from their nephew and an "I love you!" is always welcomed and cherished. I must really improve in this department.
12. Trips outside town - one each 4 months
This is another area that I do not like were I am. One trip outside my town in 4 months! It's huge! I love t travel and see new places and this is why this 4 months things has got to go. A trip every month sounds more up my alley!
13. Eating fruits - 1 daily
This could sound pretty silly for some people, but it's very important for me. I want to eat at least 5 fruits daily so that I can improve and keep my health and live longer. Eating 5 fruits a day may not be a big deal for you, but for me, well, I haven't yet done it. Now yet...
14. Brushing my teeth - once per day
I want to brush my teeth after each meal. By the way did you know that if you brush your teeth right after a meal you are actually a bad thing to your teeth? Just read
this post about brushing your teeth
15. Social life - what social life?
In this area I am probably at the bottom of the pit or very near to it. I rarely go out with friends because most of them do not live in my town anymore because of their work. I do not go out to make new friends because of my laziness and ... I don't know, it's something that is holding me down. I want to get involved in some volunteering work in the near future and help others and also meet new people. This is one area that is very important to me, but as it looks right now, you wouldn't have guessed it was.
16. My real passion - ...
My passion has had to suffer in the past, because I listened to what others said I should do and because I didn't have more courage. My real passion, the thing that makes me jump out of bed in the morning, that makes me stay up all night, is... writing. I love to write! It's the most wonderful thing I could ever do! I could do it without taking a break!
I would love to become a known writer and help people throw my books and I know I can do it, it's just up to me. This area is one that I haven't dedicated a lot of time, but I will make time for it from now. I think I have a little talent in writing, but I would love to hear from you after you read "The Prayer" one of my little stories and tell me if you think it's good or not so good. Any feedback, either positive or not so positive is very appreciated!
These are the most important things that I want to bring a change to. I will keep you posted and if you have something to say, or some advice maybe, just write a comment bellow and I thank you for it!
Thank you for reading this!
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre
