Why I’m Selling My Playstation 4

March 24, 2014

You may be wondering if the post title is a bait and switch to suck you into reading another one of my posts.  Would I really be selling my PlayStation 4?  That just doesn’t sound like it would make any sense.  I agree with you.  It does sound random, weird, and out of the ordinary.  However, there is not a bait and switch here.  My PS4 is really up for sale.  Please don’t take this post the wrong way.  In what I say next I am not saying that there is anything wrong with owning a PS4.  They are great, it was just a personal decision I had to make.

I talk a lot about dreams and why we should pursue them, yet I sit here and barely do that myself.  It’s a pretty dumb place to be for me because I am a huge dreamer.   I love to dream and often find myself getting so lost in dreams while driving that I don’t even notice I haven’t put on any music and am driving in silence (which is very odd for me).  A couple of weeks ago I came to realize: my PS4 was a huge distraction to me.  Now I did not spend endless hours on it playing video games, but it was something I did often in my free time instead of chasing my dreams.  A few weeks ago I got a huge gut check in the form of a fight with my wife (and no, we were not fighting over me playing video games) and that’s when I made the decision.  My PS4 had to go.

It’s time for me to chase my dreams like there is no tomorrow.

It’s time for me to be a better husband.

It’s time for me to get back in shape.

It’s time for me to spend more time with God.

It’s time for me to be a better leader at Charisma Church.

It’s time for my PlayStation 4 to go.

until next time…
