Are you as you want it?

Are you as you want it?
First of all
You have to visualize say it out loud
What you want
Whether what you want to do
What you want to take place
How do you want it to be
for you - glorious you
For starter
I want to cook
Do I cook right now?
No - so it would be a milestone for me
An effort 
What else do I want?
I want to be financially stable - self sufficient 
Debt free
How do I get there?
Do I just sit here and it will happen?
No 
I have to make an effort 
Of not eating out too much
Of spending too much
Of watching to see where my money goes
And make an effort of keeping it in my bank
It does not have two legs 
But it does have two hands - mine
And it’s gone - just like that
I have to think - it’s okay
It can stay there 
And not having me feel like I have to spend it
Does anyone have a problem like mine?
No one? 
Lol it’s okay
Mine and I am dealing with it
I want to treat people nicer
And not too set in my way 
And not be emotionally responsive 
Of their needs - and too absorbed in mine
Things do go two ways 
Your ways and the other person’s 
Both have to be satisfied 
Can you ensure that?
Asking myself lol
I want to be socially responsive 
It means making more friends and keeping them
Instead of letting go and let it drift apart
Away from me and long gone 
before I notice it
Let bygones be bygones 
Today is a new day
Promise?
