Changing Gears

It has come to my attention that I am very obsessive compulsive. Well it has been 'in' my attention for a long time but that's another story. Anybody that is close to me...Okay..so there might be 2 or 3 of you out there...can easily see this. Over the years I've tried, if only half heartedly, to change my ways. The most disappointing aspect of dealing with this for so long is that I have never even come close to reaching my potential in anything I have done. When I really think about it, almost every aspect of my life can reap the benefits of changing. This of course would not only effect me, but also those around me. Obviously this isn't going to be easy. I guess I should come to expect things that are worthwhile are going to be difficult - whether it be relationships, writing, etc..it is going to be hardwork, and there are going to be times that thoughts enter my mind that tell me that it isn't worth it, but I'm at a point right now that I can see that it will be worth all of the effort that it will take. If I'm ever going to reach my potential in anything I do this needs to be done. Baby steps..
