2021 Here I Come
#2021hereiCome
Feeling really inspired lately to challenge myself going into the new year. There are 7 Mondays left for 2020. Hard to believe for a year that seemingly went by so slow, it is almost over. It is getting to that time of year where I start working on myself and my brand building a little bit harder. Not waiting until January 1st to start something new, but rather a couple months beforehand. The reason is because I like going into the new year a little bit better than I left it. I want to be more in shape January 2021 than now. I want my brand to be a little bigger January 2021 than now. I want to have more knowledge from books and tutorials now than wait for 2021 to get started.
Now, I am not saying I am going to write down a list of seemingly impossible goals and try to cram a ton of stuff in 7 weeks. That would be setting myself up for failure. What I am doing tho is writing down goals. Things I want to do and trying to hold myself accountable for them. Realizing that goals are guides , and that for the next 7 weeks I want to have a straight forward guide. I also had to say this sentence out loud today; “I don’t like discipline.” I really don’t. I like that I am able to do whatever I want, whenever I want to. That comes at a price tho (to a certain degree). For instance I know I want to get more stuff done these next 7 weeks. Obviously that means something has to give. Less time on playstation everyday. A sacrifice really. Now I am not going to give up playing, especially with the new version of Call of Duty coming out this week. But I do realize “Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes.” Another example, I want to start getting up earlier to have more time to write and edit. Which means I should go to bed a little bit earlier. And not even necessarily that, I should stop going to bed every night immediately after drinking. I feel better and properly rested when I sleep without drinking.
You folks know how much I like to drink. To be fair, I have not had hard liquor since coming to Kentucky (September 9th).
I am motivated now, and this is where the discipline kicks in. The ability and determination to stick with all the ideas that are swirling in my head at this very moment that I am feverishly trying to write down. I like challenges. I like goals. I like starting new and having a new mindset about things. I like progress reports and measuring success and victories. So I believe this will be fun and a nice challenge.
“A fresh start isn’t always a new place, sometimes it’s a new mindset.”
The plan is to enter the new year better than I left the previous one. To start with a new mindset now, and not just wait for January 1st.
