I started this blog in 2017, and let’s be honest. I have done this half-ass because I am afraid of taking a risk. I am consistently talking myself out of writing and will find a hundred and one excuses, but just like anything in life without risk, there will be no gain. So after going back and forth and reading how to start a blog and listening to people on Podcasts making a success of it, I have finally decided to take the matter into my own hands and get started.  Part of a promise I made to myself is to eventually leave my comfort zone and try new things. One thing that I have learned from reading is that those who are the most successful take risks all the time. I, on the other hand, will make every excuse for why I can not get something done.

I am knocking on the door of forty and starting to ask myself what I was doing with my life and where I want to go. My job does not give me the fulfillment that it once did, but every day I go, and I give it everything I have, because let’s be honest, I have bills to pay and the need to do the best possible job I can. So why can I not do that with my personal life?

I want to start giving my own life the same drive I give work, so I am leaving my comfort zone. For example, I have started to go to the gym more and begun to learn Jiu-Jitsu (Which I suck at, but I will get better). I joined a book club that meets once a month, have hit my debt like never before (goal is to be debt-free by 2021), and have made a goal to learn how to knit and refinish furniture at some point this year. The funny things is none of these things take a lot of time, and I already waste a ton of time on the intranet, so why not be productive while on it.

I plan on writing at least twice a week here (I got a planner to remind me lol). So I welcome anyone that would like to join me on this journey. I don’t know where it will take me, but please come along for the ride.

My goal for this blog is simple, just get better, and gain more confidence.
