This is the beginning of a journey.
I am embracing life. I realized that life is what you make of it, and my life right now isn't much. And I am the only one who can make something of my life. It takes effort too. I am ready to embrace that effort - to kindle that fire.
For awhile I have been kind of sedentary, not caring about much or doing much. I am now recognizing many things I want to accomplish like exercising, sticking to an acne regimen to clear up my skin, watching my diet, reading - fiction, the Bible, educational material, and practicing and developing my artistic skills. All of these things, goals you can call them (I never liked the idea of a goal though), require consistency - a trait I don't naturally have. It is something I have to gain through desire, determination, and commitment.
Motivation is hard to come by. It is my motto of the season to find excitement in the mundane. This is the only way I believe I can conjure up some motivation to do all the things I need to do for a better life but don't want to do. It is about convincing myself that I want this. I am not determined, but I want to be. I want to be determined, I want to be consistent. I need to be. All of my goals are nothing without consistency. If I do not exercise everyday or wash and treat my skin everyday there will be no results. So, as much as I want to be lazy and skip it one day, I can't. In this blog I am going to document my efforts to accomplish these things. My hope is that having this blog I can reflect on my struggles and have a sense of accountability, and maybe one day someone will read this when I have succeeded and I can be an inspiration. My goals are small and simple, but my goal is more about gaining an attitude - the determination and commitment. With determination and commitment I can accomplish any other goal that I may come up with.
