So what made me resurrect this?
It was something Julie said to me. As referenced before, I am one of life"s serial moaners, and was lamenting about something when she asked me what my target was. At the time, I didn"t really have a target. Well, I did, but it had been cruelly ripped away from me through no current fault of my own.
As some of you know, I had actually applied to join the Army as a Communications Specialist. I"d attended a course and loved it, passed my interview and was just waiting for my medical before getting my selection date. But I failed the medical due to my previous knee injuries. SO my dream was up in smoke. Hence the question I was asked...what is your target?
So I went away and thought about it. A target had worked for Julie. She"d lost 4.5 stone (those on Facebook have seen the transformation) and gained ridiculous amounts of confidence. Things at home have been better as well. But I still felt a bit aimless, meandering along in a boring job doing nothing. I asked myself, what do I want to do? Do I want to be in the NHS for the rest of my life? No. What jobs have I done that I enjoy doing? There have been a few, but nothing stood out. I discussed it with Julie and she said that I just needed something to aim for, something to give me direction. So I decided.
In 2016 I will play the WSOP Main Event.That is my target. That is my goal. I will play the WSOP Main Event. It"s one of the few dreams I have left. But it would be simple if I just saved up for it? That"s not much fun, and not really what I want from a target. I want a target I need to work at.
With the support of my wife, I"m currently saving up £1000. Not straight away by putting all my wages into a savings account, but the aim is to get that figure by the end of the year. I"m then going to play live cash, and turn it into the buy in and build a bankroll.
I can hear you all laugh right now
So I"m resurrecting this to chronicle the journey, warts and all.
