A wise man once said, “In one year, you’ll be another year older. What else?”

It’s too true. We spend so much time dreaming about more, but do virtually nothing to actually get more.

And I see this in myself. I make promises, get motivated, then fall back into old behaviors. Every. Single. Time.

Not this time. This year is it. Be the change you want in the world...

I recall ten years ago, I was at one of the lowest points of my life. Not terribly social, nor successful, and largely friendless. I was just getting out and meeting people for the first time.

Then 2007 happened. I popped out of my shell into a wonderful world. I met a lot of people. I learned how to talk to girls. I discovered I was good with them. Very good.

I jump started the best three years of my life, and it was wonderful and unforgettable. Then ghosts of the past revisited, and they brought back old, comfortable and familiar patterns. Like houseguests, they settled in.

I hate seeing these old habits back in me. Old behaviors. Making excuses instead of finding a way to attain those dreams. No, attain those goals.

And now, it’s another birthday. It was a rough year in the wilderness, but it has shown me that it is time to act. To get my shit together. To speak less and do more. No excuses.

By my next birthday, I will be back on the top of my game. Look out!

This year is it. I want MORE, not less, and I’m willing to change to get it. I’m willing to invest to get it.
