Priorities and keeping them......

First and foremost, I suck at doing what the title says...which is sad really. I guess its my natural disposition to rebel or Im just now figuring out what I really want. Its not that important to keep things that are pressing for other people. Im pretty sure that my previous blog about goals and accomplishments should take care of the priority problem. However, to help myself I am going to type them down so I dont forget where I stand in July. First and foremost I should aim for God to be first priority. Notice the aim for there, doesnt mean itll always happen. But I do want to strive for it. Next is to take care of myself. Most people would say family, but if I dont take care of myself, that wont happen. Therefore making sure I am well in all aspects is next. Then of course is my family and being the best at that I can. After that is my goals that I stated a few days ago in pretty much the same order they were stated. Which will take pretty much the rest of my free time. However, if it doesnt then I shall try to have meaningless time and enjoy those small moments of bliss. Can I be this person everyday? Of course not, but its always good to set a high standard and fall a little short rather than low standards and hit them easily. Anyways, time to have one of those blissful times watching a movie......

Being like a camera.........

Its time to focus. It is time for me to quit planning things and actually go forward with who I want to be and accomplish the things I want to do. Do I want to be a personal trainer? Not as much as I want to help see people achieve better fitness. Do I want financial security? Yeah, but Id like to have the means to see the world and help causes without having to glance at my bank account to do it. Do I want to be surrounded by successful people? Only if they do things in a manner that isnt harming others. Do I want to enjoy little things about my life and still be able to notice small miracles? Yeah, that one is a simple one there. Those are my goals and the means I do want to go about accomplishing them. My old goals from years past.......be the best and study, train, or will myself to do that. I am not that person anymore and do not see the need to limit myself to being that as well. Ive stated it before and probably will state it again so I dont forget, I want to be a person that helps others see their dreams and make my mark upon this world. And I have faith by helping others, I will see blessings as well. Whether it be by financial security or by seeing someone extend their lives to be with their family, I hope to make a difference. I do wish it could happen just like a flash, but then again its not like I can box it up either. Oh well, may all be blessed...........

Alas....

So I love the irony of my day, Im going to a going away party where the main participant has been already gone for years. They are just going away to another place much farther away. Which, is brave and amazing. To think about it makes me realize that to really reach high for something, you're going to have to leave something behind. More than likely, its going to be something you really love. Sacrifice is a big part of it, otherwise wouldnt we all easily have our goals. Yes we would, and it wouldnt really mean a thing to us. Nothing easy ever does or will. That is what makes great things great and normal things mediocre. Meanwhile, this really doesnt say anything that has been going on personally in my life, but would elaborating really help? I mean, anyone who can read knows that we all do the same basic things and some of us are just more elaborate on how we share these things. What makes us different are the thoughts and responses we have to these events that give us our indiviualism. Anyways, I could be totally wrong about it all, but thats the beauty of life. We all make mistakes and get another chance to do it again. Till next time.....

Back in the grind of things......

Pretty sure that God has been building my strength for something bigger than I know right now. After a period of rough moments, things have finally been coming back together. Yeah, Ive been extremely busy and things like rest would be wonderful, but I feel like its been a good week. People have been helped out, and Ive gotten things done in all areas to set up my immediate future. I feel like im almost ready for step one. I do feel compelled to share what my exact goals for the next five years are, Im still struggling a bit to fully elaborate how I want to go about them. Well, I think just grinding things out day by day will give me a clearer mind and easier words to finally put down so maybe Ill know my destination. Till we meet again.......

Not at my best...

Well, last week or two havent been all that easy. Most things come natural to me or at the very worst Ive trained myself to do most tasks, but as of late it has been quite rough. Is it God building me for something bigger or His way of saying I have made the wrong decisions in recent choices. Whichever way it goes, I do believe that things will go back to normal. Hopefully one way or another, I will learn something from it all. Till next time......

Independence

What does independence mean to you? And if you dont have it, what can you do to obtain it? Those are two really important questions in my opinion to achieve great things not only in your life, but your community. Personally it means the ability to be the person you really want to be in everything that you do. And I feel that I already have it in a wide sense so there isnt any great change I need to make to obtain it. What I feel I need to do is take more advantage of my freedoms and independence to do things in my life and my community. If anyone is asking why am I mentioning my community, it is because if we do not do whatever we can to improve that, then we give ourselves a ceiling for how high we can personally climb. Hopefully during this holiday more people realize that we are all connected and can only go as strong as our weakest area. Then possibly we can truly celebrate our independence that in truth, is something only a few have. Till next time......

gearing up for the next challenge.............

So somehow, by the grace of God, I survived June. Throughout all the changes and the challenges it all came together to form a not so bad experience. However, I cannot bask in it because I know that things have to keep moving toward bigger and more meaningful things. I dont know where it will all lead me, but it seems to be on a path where I can perhaps help a person or two, which has been my motive for all of my decisions the last 6plus months. My new challenge to myself is to network myself in any way possible so that maybe I can reach people I wouldnt have otherwise. I am not only going to search out for the people that can perhaps be helped by me, but people that can help me grow as a person and as a consultant. Please pray not only for me, but for everyone in these next few days as life unfolds itself throughout the summer.......
