My Jesus Year

November 2, 2008

Happy Birthday to me.  I'm 33.  I think I'm finally an adult and for the first time  I actually understand what that means.  More fun.  Not the kind of random, no responsibility, let's go get fucked up kind of fun.  The creative, more powerful, I know who I am and what I want out of life kind of fun.  The fun you experience when you are in control of your life and enjoy the possibilities that surround you.

I'm ready to start taking action and fearing less.  I'm ready to think less and write more.  I'm ready to experience more joy and focus and energy.  I can't believe I have been denying myself these things and for what?  comfort!  Well, I don't want to be comfortable.  I want to be alive and I have the tools  to make that next part of me literally come to life.  It's not going to be easy, but who says work can't be joyful?

For the next 3 weeks, I have outlined 3 goals that I would like to achieve.  One is writing in this journal on a daily basis for at least 15 mins.  The next is meditation on a daily basis for 15 mins. In fact these 2 things can be done together and I am going to attempt to make it part of my morning routine.  The 3rd goal is  BIGGIE.  I am going to moderate my drinking and quit smoking .  I have been relying on these last two crutches for a long time and they are not serving me any longer.  The overlying goal is obviously to be more conscious, with that obviously effecting all parts of my life.

In one year, I want to be in the best shape of my life, have a long-term savings account (with money in it), be involved in a substantial relationship and continue to excel in school and work.
I also want to be in a better mood.  I've been pretty moody the last couple of years and I'm over it.  Over this next year, by staying true to myself, I will see a more balanced and joyful mood begin to take over.  

These are my goals.  Let's have a great year!
