Beknec's Life List:
I was 8 I dreamed of going to Sweden. On 13/3/1980 I arrived in Stockholm, not for a moment thinking about the fact that I was on the other side of the world, all by myself. I had the best 7 weeks of my life and can still feel the coldness of snow falling on my tongue for the first time. It was really awesome to hold a snowflake on my finger and see the complexities of shape and colour - perhaps this is where I first got the idea to draw Celtic knots?

Success

 

Let me just say up front, that I haven't made tools as much of a success as I could have.  I have not given it the mental devotion needed to truly succeed. 

 

Having said that, I now have to say that I have seen a few successes in my life. 

I drink more water every day. 

I brush my teeth whenever they feel grotty (and that is frequently). 

I take a sec at least 90 % of the time to do things that will save me time in the long run. 

I am never late. 

While for a long time I didn't get into it, I am now doing 2 to 10 a day, slowly making my way through the junk I have accumulated. 

I never let an excuse be my excuse. 

(okay, so I am still getting there on the complaining) - but at least I can acknowledge when I have complained, and pondered on the actual meaning.

I stretch each morning. 

I exercise more days than not.

Although I haven't lost weight, I have lost cm (inches) and have muscles where once was flab.  I am much more active! 

While I don't always choose it, I know that my attitude is my decision and I take responsibility for it and acknowledge when I decide on the wrong attitude and take steps to rectify it.

 

For me, although it is something quite simple, my biggest success has got to be the To Do List!  Yes, I am a list person from way back, so I did have prior commitment to it, but I have seriously taken it on board.  Now I have a to do list on the desktop of my computer at work which I just click onto every morning and go through what needs to be done.  This morning ritual also takes away the need for apathy, because I can see right in front of me what needs to be done and I can give it a big red tick when it is done ao I get a real sense of achievement. 

 

I guess what I am saying, is that all in all, what I have got out of Tools is equal exactly to what I have put in. 

 

No ifs, no buts, no maybes. 

 

Yes, I have a lot more room for improvement, but any step forward has been one huge leap for Bek!
