I f*cking LOVE games. From sports (used to be super athletic before I became disabled) to video games, boardgames, and card games, and everything in between.
I've always loved gaming. It's up there with my top passions. But, it has been a really long time since I've been into or played any games and I'm currently fighting the urge to start. I'm doing this because I need to focus, buckle down, and build a business (possibly more than one, after I have one successfully built) that brings in income to take care of my wife, myself and my loved ones. (Hopefully a bunch of others as well at some point.) If I allow myself to get into gaming again, I will be sucked into it and I won't be productive with making money and building a better life. Don't get me wrong, I don't think gaming is bad, in fact I think it's really good for you. Jane McGonigal's excellent book, Reality Is Broken : Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change The World, shows lots of evidence why games are good for us. I highly recommend giving it a read. It's just that I know myself, and my obsessive personality. I will eventually let myself get into gaming again, but when I can work it into a healthy and productive schedule. For now, I fear letting myself get into playing games because I know it will wreak havoc on my ability to become successful. It's a sacrifice I need to make for the time being. Which does suck, but I hope I'll be happy about in the future. Maybe once I have some momentum going with building a better life and being more productive, I can reward myself with gaming. I think that could be a really great thing. This decision should really help me hustle hard so that I can play. There are so many games that are just calling my name and I can't wait to get to play them. Better get to work, so I can.
