When Life Gets In The Way

So, I have officially been here for a month, and I have such huge plans for what I want to achieve, but life simply keeps getting in the way.

This website of mine is my dream, and it's the only thing I want to be doing, but when one has bills to pay, it can be so hard to make this a priority. Being an adult is really tough, and some weeks are so much tougher than others.

It can be so easy to forget or put off the the things that you love, because everything else is so important for actual survival, and if something has to slip, then it has to be this.

But, I know full well that 'adulting' would be so much easier, were my website a complete success and making me good money, so it's a bit of a Catch 22 situation. I need to work my ass off in a job I hate, so I can keep a roof over my head and food in my belly, which leaves little time for working on building my business, but I also need to build my business in order to get out of the job I hate, and stop working my ass off just to survive.

It is far too easy to slip into negative thinking, and I have been wallowing for the last week or so. But, NO MORE.

Yes, life is hard, but it only gets in the way because I let it. I can't control everything, but I can control this and the only thing to really do when life gets in the way, is to ignore it! Every one of us has 24 hours in a day to spend how we choose, and it's time for me to spend my hours a little more wisely. Even working on the site for 30 minutes a day is better than zero minutes a day. So, that's my aim for this week!

What are everyone else's goals for this week?
