Understanding your goals to help you achieve them.

You Need the Discomfort in Life
The mountain looks intimidating. You're chilled to the bone as you make the final ascent. You didn't think you were prepared for this moment but you wanted to push yourself to the physical limit. You made this hike not because it was easy but because it was hard. In order to understand your mentality and physicality better, you had to put yourself to the test.

A Little Past Ringing in the New Year
Naturally, I feel like this should be kept real, and that the above picture that you see isn't actually me. It's my younger and at the time 17-year-old sister. Now I'm not going to degrade her, but the most recent pictures that I downloaded onto my computer from the past couple years are all of her or plants. Not a single one of me. Now, whenever I see pictures of myself, all I can see are the things that I don't have or what I don't like. For example, a budding double chin. Constantly I look at myself and I ask this singular question: "Why do I never turn out the way that I had planned?" It's a very hard question with two decades worth of complex layers, yet I always seem to bounce back to these reasons. One, there's always next year. Two, I can always start tomorrow, and three, I just never have enough time.

Am I Emotionally Equipped with Great Defenses?
After being in a car accident in some cases, the law requires you to take defensive driving to train you to be a safer driver. Similarly, preparing the mind against reckless behavior or self-sabotaging energy is essential to living a healthier life.

Adapting Goals
Everyone has goals and dreams that they want to pursue in life. When I was a child, I wanted to be a singer. Spoiler Alert: singing is not my forte. It wasn’t until I was older that I discovered my passion for writing.

Everything You Want Is on the Other Side of Fear
I speak to so many people that once had a dream or a vision but lacked the courage to face their fears and take action. They just settled.

The Bumpy to Road Self-Discovery
Wesley McAvoy in the motion picture Wanted, when put under duress, shoots the wings off a flying housefly, I mean, which person can really do that? A day or a few hours earlier, he was a simple account manager working a boring day job and was on his way out to buy some drugs for a condition he was suffering from, and at that particular moment, less than 12 hours later, he was among a group of world-class assassins, shooting off wings off flies. How life can change at the blink of an eye, literally. The question that comes to mind when watching this motion is how can events in life, conspire to lead a person to a mundane lifestyle, and the same events, or what by some is referred to as fate, jolt a person a totally different lifestyle within a few hours.

Week 2
My brother turned 24 last night, so we all hung around the fire pit out back and had some beers. Needless to say, I woke up hungover and felt like crap.

January 1
So the new year started 23 days ago. Exactly 23 days ago I created my new year’s resolution. I wonder how many people wait till the very first day of the new year to start change. Nonetheless, I was one of those who waited till January 1. Oh, the excitement! The wonderful feeling of another chance at change. Another opportunity for self-modification—whether physical, mental, emotional or all of the above. My new year’s resolution went something like this—I will speak my mind, express my feelings and stop putting others before myself. My new year’s resolution was all about self-care, emotional well-being, and above all, my own sanity. Finally, a little push to motivate the new me to emerge once more. Wake up the strong minded, strong willed me who has been sleeping inside for quite some time.

How Far Will You Go?
That’s a pretty broad question but it depends on your situation. For example, how far will you go for love? Would you endure a long distance relationship? Would you travel and start a new life, in a new place for the one you love? How far will you go for wealth? Could you take a leap of faith to pursue your career over working a regular job, even though there’s no guarantee? Over the last 3 years I’ve observed that everyone has their own limits.
