Khirad ko ghulami se azaad kar
Jawanon ko peeron ka ustad kar

Jigar se wohi teer phir paar kar
Tamanna ko seen main bedaar kar

- from Iqbal's Saqi nama

I'm looking for something new to do. A hobby. Competitive.

I don't like competing against other people. I like being great at something, but I don't like the pursuit of being better than others. I very much like the pursuit of being better than myself.

But I want to develop that competitive streak. Sometimes in unhealthy life situations that you can't escape, you need to be able to get a little nasty and  compete.

I'm unfortunately preparing myself to deal with people politics. There are mindsets I do not posses.

Neither happiness nor love happen without real investment into happiness inducing and love producing actions.

Day 3 of staycation: Consciously spent trying not to worry about work stuff, and worrying unnecessarily

Day 4: Finally made a list of everything that needs to be done before going back to work, so that I can properly relax. List has 15 items.

Day 2 of staycation: Spent in Career enhancement activities

Must gym before the end of the day.

Day 1 of staycation. I am bored.

Lets see how the week goes.
