Fun memories and just fun to look back at the things that I have done this year. Check out your year and see if you have been doing the things you want to do and have been with the people you want to surround yourself with.
Every year, around the holiday season, everyone plans and sets goals for themselves to be a better version of themselves. To spend the next year growing and honing in on different goals/achievements. Often times trying to create new habits or living styles. Ultimately a great deal of these resolutions fail, because the discipline is not there, or maybe someone shot too far out. Making an unrealistic goal for themselves. If you never have exercised in your life do not say that your goal is to workout 7 days a week. That is unrealistic. Rather, I say take these changes one step at a time. Make them measurable. Give yourself check in points. 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, etc. Everyone wants to grow and evolve. However, everyone likes to keep things familiar or make excuses why they can't achieve their goals as an attempt to rationalize. With all of this in mind I have really been thinking on what this last year presented me with and who I want to become in 2018...
I am having a hard time settling into a day-to-day lifestyle. Why should any day be the same when we are promised so few? Lately I have been reaching out to find and experience all things new, trying to look out for my consumption as I am trying to be more environmentally conscious, and I have had this intensifying itch to go out into the world. Seeking new work experiences, new destinations, new experiences of any kind, in this year alone I have taken on many FIRSTS (ranging from Texas 2-stepping to eating homemade Crawdad jumbalaya). Meeting new people and hearing their stories of adventure have been shaping my life this year. Online I look up videos of tiny houses, extensive travel plans, backpacking classes, and more. Most of my recent book choices have involved exploration and backpacking lately too! So I am hereby saying that I will spend this next year traveling as much as I can. I have got all the time in the world to settle down, so why waste my mobile time staying put.... thi...
I have to say that one of my favorite things in life is the power behind people feeling compelled to carry out an act. Acts of service, reaching out in thanks, acknowledging someone for their skills, giving that positive review, paying it forward, generous tips, anything of that nature. The power behind human connectivity and the human experience. I LOVE IT! Feeling that urge to reach out. That feeling that compels you to act. I was recently on the receiving end of an uplifting email and it made my day, and compelled me to compose this blog entry. Thinking about the times that I have been compelled into similar action brings me joy in seeing the responses of others that I have reached out to and I can empathize with the fulfilling/satisfying feeling that takes hold of you on the receiving end. So I urge everyone to carry out these acts more often! There are compelling powers at work in the world and we should all act upon them when they arise! Give that compliment when it is due. ...
