I wish I could say that 2008 was a great year, but I can't. Lots of good things happened to me, and nothing bad, but I still can't say it was a good year. I'm not complaining, though. The reason 2008 was not a good year for me was because of... me.
This past year was not good due to too much stress, caused by too much self induced complication in my life. Too much consumerism, too many projects started before old projects were finished, and a general lack of focus on things that are really important.
When I think about it though, 2008 was really just a continuation of what I did in 2007, which was a continuation of what I was doing in 2006, etc, etc... Each year I was going to "finally" get things together and create this wonderful life for my family and myself. All I needed to do was get more things done. Didn't quite work out that way though. The more things I try to get done, the less I actually accomplish, and life seems to spin more and more out of control.
It's been said that the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. The solution to my problem is to stop trying to do more and more things. In other words, simplify my life instead of constantly making it more complicated.
Cheers,
Ken
