This night finds me agitating in my computer chair, still fuming about my lack of motion or direction. I've decided to do one of those things, the daily affirmation deal. You repeat your goal over and over until it becomes a mantra, and then until it becomes a reality. Scott Adams wrote about the power of affirmations in one of his books, and I've always been intrigued by how they represent a midpoint between the power of suggestion and the mystical spell.
A few years ago, my highest ambition in life was to own a 1988-91 Honda Prelude, just like my idol, Max the Car Thief. I employed a simple affirmation, many times a day: "I will get a 3rd-gen Prelude." So here, I'm going to do the same thing, partially for the gains outlined above, and partly as a mission statement. There's really no one I'll bore with this shit, since I'm pretty sure no one reads this anyway.
I am going enroll in a 4-year college, and graduate.
I'm going to get a decent job that pays well.
And I'm going to own a 3rd-gen Prelude 2.0Si, with 4-wheel steering, that's in Good condition.
