Fighting the Time Bandits and Moving forward

In my research, I'm finding that one of my biggest obstacles is fighting time bandits. You know what these are...the things that pull you away from what you really should be doing. These time bandits can steal time indiscriminately from you when you least suspect it. How do you move forward after these time bandits have come and gone? That's a good question. Sometimes you can't. By admitting that the time bandits have defeated your purpose and plans, you in fact move forward. Yes, if you can identify what time bandits you have then you will go farther than if you can't.

Time bandits come in all shapes and sizes. They can be things that you automatically put to the side and suddenly come up. They can be all consuming and compass everything in front of you like a fog. Piercing through that fog won't be easy. You'll get frustrated at time. I know I have. A few of my time bandits are finding enough time to do everything that I need to do, depression when something I tried so hard to accomplish falls through and fighting for resources I need to do the work. I have been actively seeking work for almost a year now. This is very exhausting work and I admit that it's very draining as well.

I know I'm not alone in this, which really does help. Too many are in this situation now, and it's very hard to continue to remain positive. This too is a time bandit. Feeling worn out and not energized doesn't help matters at all. Yet this is exactly how I feel now. I know I must move forward and focus on my passion or else drop out of life all together. You know the choice I'll make, and that is to move forward.
