I Watch Too Much Television
and why I'm giving it up for a month
I'm often trying to move forward beyond my own road blocks in life, adding to the ones life has given me. I have noticed that as days will turn to months and I haven't achieved what I wanted, those turn into years and I grow resentful of the wasted time. Then I tally up all the time I have wasted on things such as television, things that serve as distractions from my own goals.
Distractions. Procrastination. Time. A Graveyard of dreams...
I'm still too weak to give it up permanently, but I'm hoping the siren call will quieten after a month. Self-control is like any physical muscle you train it long enough and it'll get stronger.
