Progression is forward right?

I decided in an act of change that I will start doing things that I initially do not want to do. I seem to choose what will keep me as passive in my life as possible. So when at first I think something will be boring, or is something I would not enjoy, then I will go the opposite direction. I just wonder if this train of thinking will lead me in circles in an attempt to go forward. Today I did not want to wake up so early after a very late night. So I got up. I wanted to sit and play Xbox or watch a movie. Instead I cleaned out my Jeep, did some laundry and vacuumed the house. I did not want to write in this blog.....so I did.
