goals
Understanding your goals to help you achieve them.
Know your Worth
What am I Most thankful for? I am thankful to have a job and not just any job I help my community and those outside my community. As I got older, I learned to appreciate being used in an industry where I can make a difference I also learned to not get too comfortable in any position because it could be taken away at any moment. A couple of years ago I was working as a customer service representative first call center job ever. At the time I had been on my job for almost 2 years I started as a contractor and got hired on within 5 months.

Dear Lockdown, Thank you for Saving my Life
Dear Lockdown, I must admit that when I first heard about you, my instinct and reaction was fear. I felt it in the pit of my stomach then rise up into my throat. But that fear was more centered on what brought you to us, the ferryman of death, Covid-19. You were but a passenger, you yourself, I didn't fear necessarily. In truth I didn't really know what to think, but I decided that if I had any choice in the matter, I would try to make you a friend instead of a foe.

Creativity and Chaos
Do you have so many creative ventures that you never complete them? Do you dive in with superhuman energy and enthusiasm that you know, just know, you're finally going to start that business doing something you are passionate about? For weeks you're on that high of productivity, buying all the necessary things to get your work off the ground, creating your masterpieces, setting up your social media, and announcing to your friends and followers that you're about to take the world by storm with your new business venture. And then...

When Nameless Finally Has Its Day
Seven years ago, I started writing what will soon become my first, fully furnished novel titled, Nameless. Since beginning writing it, I have often pondered on my audience’s response to it, asking myself questions like: Will they like it? Will they be offended? Does it make them uncomfortable? How relatable is this story? How realistic can this story be? Who am I to write from this perspective that exists totally apart from me? Well, those are questions I likely will not be able to answer until my book is actually finished and put into print. Those are also the kinds of questions that have made this journey writing it that much more challenging to complete. My first and most important hope is for Nameless to become a best-selling trilogy. But if—better yet—WHEN that happens, there are a few things I surely aim to do. In addition to being able to claim reaching my ultimate career goal, I intend to escape financial disparity, pave the way for my novel’s remaining trilogy works, and create more opportunities for myself to expand my writing to other avenues.

Evaluating my Future
Deciding what to do with your future is a challenge most individuals have to face eventually. It can be hard picking the right path for yourself and you may never know when your interests or position can change. The following essay will discuss the options available to me at this point in my life, as well as some of the challenges and complications of what I want to do. Not all of these can be solved or overcome, and so I need to be able to adapt and consider alternatives.

Positive Perspectives
From the moment of our birth, until our last breath, our progress is measured on a scale of perfection. At school, home, and work, our errors are quickly corrected, and we become accustomed to the reward system. When we make a mistake, we are shamed; when we do something right, we are praised. The message is clear: mistakes are bad.

The Year Gone By: Counting Blessings Despite Difficulties
2020 began on a high note. I was just back from a life-altering solo trip to four cities in eleven days, and the adrenaline rushing through my veins made me make a new year resolution that, come what may, 2020 should see me on at least three solo trips. Sadly, the Covid19 scare started in March 2020, and most of what I'd planned failed to happen.

How Successful Have You Been?
Did you get that new house you wanted? Did you start that new business yet? Did you finally buy that new car you thought you wanted? Have you reached 6 figures yet, or did you make more? Were you able to add more stamps to your passport? Is your wardrobe filled with all those fancy clothes you wanted to show off? Were you able to spend money over these past few months without a care in the world?
