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 want to be a man of many talents: a published author an outdoors man a traveler a competent home development worker a fisherman a man of his word a father a lover a husband a friend to many an inspiration to more a teacher a student a man of depth a story teller a happy man a man warn and withered who still came out ontop a motivator a character a man who endures a man of growth a man that has reached his full potential a farmer a shining light a man of god
I can feel the tides of change coming to me. There are opportunities that are presenting themselves to me. Within this year alone I have flown on a plane and traveled more (in terms of trips/year) than any other time in my life. I have lived out of state for a summer, traveled to Chicago a handful of times, lived in Texas for 6 weeks, spent 9 days in Amsterdam (visiting Europe for the first time), traveled to Kansas City for 2 weeks, and I am currently gearing up to travel for an ENTIRE summer! There is also some potential for me to live in Washington for 3 weeks (while working), as well as, a chance at farming in Thailand for 2 weeks. There are so many opportunities in life and I want to take hold and grasp as many as I can while I am given this chance. With all of that being said, there is also a great strain in terms of finances for these trips.... while also paying a massive amount of bills at home. So in the back of my mind as I travel I find myself coming back to these worr...
