Follow your bliss

There comes a time in everyone’s life, at least there should be a time, where we begin to question our heading in life. Questions like “Is this the direction I want to continue in?” and “Am I making the right decisions every day that will lead me to where I want to be?” might be familiar to you.  Recently, they’ve been weighing heavy on my own mind and I’ve changed my life so significantly these past months and years that I no longer believe the course I’ve been heading in is where I ultimately want to end up at.  So I’ve been doing a little course correction while I’ve been away from writing techie posts here on WayneJohn.com.

You may or may not know exactly how many hours I spend behind the keyboard, but no human really should spend their time like I do.  It’s not healthy to sit for so long, but yet, it sometimes has to be done. The time had come to where I’d look down at myself and wonder exactly how far I’m going to allow my gut to roll over my buckle.  I essentially became disgusted with myself and made the determination to finally do something about it.  My lethargy and lack of energy for anything other than mentally stimulating projects and tasks has finally come to an end.

That’s right, I got out of my chair and actually did something good for myself; things like regular exercise and eating right.  It felt good, and I slowly became very driven to succeed with the goals I had set for myself, and ultimately I did succeed.

Even though I had reached my goals, I’m not stopping.  At some point I realized that I enjoy being healthy and getting good nutrition.  I don’t think I’d feel the same about it if my energy wasn’t through the roof as it is now.  And that’s the kicker, I’m actually more energetic and my brain actually feels more productive, so the time I spend away from the keyboard is really offset by the energy and focus I’ve achieved.  I get more done, and I’m more effective when I’m behind the keyboard.

However, this doesn’t apply to the gap between this post and the last one.  I just haven’t been into writing about technology stuff like I used to, and to be honest, that’s why I’m writing this post now.  Call it a formal notice of sorts to those subscribers out there that have been gracious enough to honor me with a subscription.

I’m preparing to change directions with the old blog.  I will no longer write about technology, website development, tips and tricks and stuff like that.  Instead, health and fitness will be the over-arching topic on my blog.  I have enough knowledge about the subject, and having achieved my own goals (which I will share in a later post) I feel I have something to contribute.  More so than with technology.

Another compelling reason for the change is that technology really doesn’t help anyone improve their quality of life like health and fitness does.  I don’t mean to sound altruistic, but there’s a great satisfaction I feel when I’m able to help someone achieve their goals, which I have also been lucky enough to have done for a few people so far.

It is my intention to help as many people as I can to achieve their own health and wellness goals while I’m here in this reality.  I have done this for myself and a few others, and I want to continue that and extend my blog in that direction as well to reach even more people and help them as well.

All that said, you can consider this the official change notice, if one were needed.  If you were here for technology related topics, there will not be anything new forthcoming.  What you can expect however are articles relating to health, fitness and wellness.

Time to follow my bliss!  I hope to see you around.
