Take these things away

What do you look forward to every morning when you wake up?

This question lingers in my mind every morning. Usually, I look forward to the END of the day. Then I ask myself: Is that what I really want to be looking forward to everyday for the rest of my life? Not really. So I told myself short term goals for now. All on the road to reach my dreams.

COUNTDOWN: 24 more days.

For what you ask? It's something that can make or break my dreams. It's something that, if it goes well, can make me the happiest I can ever imagine to be.

To reach that goal I should:
- Stop working Saturdays
- Get all my documents in order
- Apply for something I SHOULD have when I graduated college but didn't get round to do it

ANOTHER COUNTDOWN: 47 more weeks


Last week, I was given this "Jar of Marbles." There were 48 marbles inside. Every week, I have to remove a marble from the jar and reflect if I've done anything in the week that can bring me one step closer to my dreams. Or if I've done anything special in my life. The 48 marbles represent the weeks of the year. I just removed my first marble. What special thing did I do this week? hmmm..... After like a YEAR of NOT working out and gaining pound after pound, just yesterday I went Roller Blading in my Village. It wasn't long, and it clearly wasn't a grand losing lots of weight workout. But it's a start. Hopefully of many more make-myself-feel-better days.

With 47 more weeks left of the year, I hope I get closer and closer to finding ME and who I want to be.

NEW GOAL: Look forward to something small everyday.

I will also start with Notes to self.

Note to self # 1: There will be lots of problems that will come your way. Stay cool. Don't lose it. Just take a deep breath and believe that everything will be okay. Think about it. There's always a solution to all your problems. And remember, something good will always come out of all your hard work. So smile your troubles away :)
