Reassess

I think the reason why so many people bail on their New Year's resolutions within a few weeks, is because they make the goals too darn big. Giving yourself a full year to reach the proverbial finish line seems daunting, and so people just drop it. That's why I believe it might be better to … Continue reading Reassess →

Rewarding

The great thing about working on yourself, or any grand endeavor, is that the reward isn't just from achieving the goal, but also by who you become from it. Growth, and the wisdom you can gain from it, is often the best reward.

Goals

Have goals for yourself. Not because you should be ambitious, but because we all need something to look forward to. It's the secret to life and happiness.

Look Ahead

I've always been happiest when I have something to look forward to. I feel energized with excitement when I have an upcoming event, a trip, or a goal to achieve. It's different from when I've just wanted to have something end. Wanting to be done with a class, or a job, or even just a … Continue reading Look Ahead →

Blessings

Whenever I start to play the sad game of Regrets, wishing I'd never met certain people, or that I hadn't allowed certain events to unfold as they did, I have to remind myself that if it wasn't for living through those things, then I wouldn't be me exactly. Any of the achievements I now have, … Continue reading Blessings →
