Look At Me Now

I love my blog. I know I don't blog as often as I used to but, I have about 30 started, yet not completed, post. I jot down different ideas that pop into my head and add on to them as I see fit. I reread a few of my post and I look to where my mind was before and where it is now. While I've neglected my blog a bit, I attribute my absence, to my blog. I talk about doing things different and letting go and pushing myself to be a better me and hopefully you, and contrary to popular belief, I can't save the world behind my computer screen.

I want ya'll to know that I haven't been twiddling my thumbs and sleeping my life away. I've been getting out there. Traveling, trying new things, making plans, enhancing myself and adding onto my "komplex". Don't mean to be too cliche but *queue music* I've got a new attitude. If Martin had a dream and Obama wanted us to hope, I want to make sure we do. I've done a lot over my years, but I need some different goals and accomplishments. I don't want to look back at previous milestones to define my current being. Up-to-date goals should define an up-to-date me.

Long term goals, I have them. They're pretty good and I manipulate them ever so often, you know a good fine tuning. However, I can't say I see immediate, substantial results. For example, I definitely want to be a household name. I can achieve that through blogging and becoming a huge figure in that realm, maybe owning a fortune 500 company, inventing something or having people address me as Mrs. President -- any of the options work. While I definitely see myself as being a big deal, I don't think I'm reaching the numbers to have that happen within the year. If it does - YES! I say all of that to say, long term goals may take some time before they start showing any form of result and with the ones I've set, let's come back to those in a few years to see a leaf on the tree branch of life I've planted hehe.

Anywho, short term goals. I have plenty. There are a lot of things I want to do, see, experience and I'm just tackling them one by one. Why have a list of restaurants to go to, if I don't go? Why dream to have as many stamps on my passport as Jay-Z, if I don't travel? How do I expect to converse while in foreign countries if I don't pick up pick up new languages? I'm all for saving my money for some of my long term goals, but can I enjoy some of my compensation whilst I'm still in my prime? Yes, YES, YES! I've got a few purchases coming up that I am all too psyched about, some language plans in the works ( starting this friday to be exact, can we say HOLA ), travel excursions which will put me a couple of pages closer to a new passport and lastly, I've knocked a few notches off of my, things everyone else does and I should try, list -- snorkeling, parasailing, jet skiing, skiing, etc. I'm moving and shaking ladies and gents *insert goofy dance usually performed in the mirror with no one else around*

First quarter is coming to an end. How many people have kept up with their resolutions? Reaching those goals? Doing new things? Feel a little different? A little more pep in your step? Go out there and do it. Make those unimaginable things, imaginable. Put a time limit on the impossible. At the end of this post, think of something you want to do and do it. It doesn't have to be huge, but it has to be something. The first step is hard, the second, maybe harder, but the journey, memorable and almost definitely worth it.

Continue living so that your daydreams will be your past and your night dreams, I guess, will be your near future. You are your biggest obstacle, so MOVE... GET OUT THE WAY!

Smoochis :-*
