Time for a Paolo J update. I’ve been grindin…I’ve also been slacking.
Most importantly I’m making a super effort to get my health in check. I’ve been doing pretty well. When I was to report my weight last month, I actually did get on the scale the next morning and I was at 219. I stepped on the scale this morning, 213.4. Most of that may be water weight, but it’s better than nothing and definitely a start! So that’s a big plus in my book.
Things have also been picking up with 3Kings, social TONIGHT at Sucker Punch, plus the spring drop coming VERY soon.
Hobbies – I spend way too much time practicing and watching magic tricks. I feel like a huge nerd admitting this, but it’s true. Music, I’ve been listening more to, but I need to really get back into the equities market. (What a random three sentences). Still taking photos, but at a slow rate.
Blogging – a huge disappointment.
It’s probably going to get pretty boring just posting updates on how my 2010 is coming along. Instead, I’m going to take the time to reflect on everything as a whole and maybe it will all make sense.
- Taking care of your body takes a lot of time.
- Running a business (even a small start up) takes a lot of time.
- Blogging takes a lot of time.
- Hobbies take up too much of your time.
Thinking more about it, I shouldn’t look at these things as a list. For example, you can also kill two birds with one stone. I love playing basketball and football. That fits into a hobby but also helps take care of my body. Blogging also helps run a 3Kings. Everything all works together. Hobbies are fun, and when I’m in a good mood, I’ll want to do everything.
The key issue is BALANCE.
I independently came up with the idea (though I doubt it’s new) of this triangle of letters. C-R-H. Career-Relationships-Health. While the idea may have its holes, the basic idea is that you need to balance these three areas of life to achieve happiness and success. No one should overpower the other, yet none of them can stand alone. In my next few blogs, I plan on re-investigating this idea in which I still believe is a strong model for how to live your life.
Wow this post all of a sudden got real serious. But I will try to throw in other things here and there. For all things cool, be sure to visit blog.3KingsClothing.com where I will be blogging often as well.
