Sheesh!!! It feels like the last time I did one of these, Reagan was in office, the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn, and people still believed the world was flat!!! I'm back and, surely, I've been missed, right? RIGHT?
Oh well!! Ill make this quick!! A good friend of mine and I were having a conversation. He asked me if I had forgotten about the dream. The question threw me for a loop, across the room and out the window! I said "No". It threw me, not because I had forgotten about the goals I set out for myself, but because it made me realized how easy I had been taking things the past few months. When I was on probation and paying back fees and just going through the nonsense, I felt this incredible pressure everyday to succeed. It felt like I couldn't take a day to relax and that I had to always be on!!
It led to a 3.5 GPA, 100 pounds lost and a sense of accomplishment I can't explain in words. But then I got off probation and, because of bad timing on my part, I wasnt able to take the business courses I wanted to. So Ive been slacking....ON EVERYTHING!! My grades are not bad at all. Just not where they should be. Relaxed a little...OK, A LOT on my diet (didnt gain any weight thank goodness!) And my blog game has been slackin', sunnnn!!! Ive even been slacking on my harassment of random family members!! :) !! I guess that what I needed was a few words from someone outside of my head to remind me of why I went so hard in the first place.
I started last week getting back to that intense mindstate. I had an awesome workout today, so Im ready to get back to the journey!! Sometimes circumstances leave us sidetracked. But the issue isnt about what causes the problem. Its how you plan to solve it. SOOOOOOO.. Im back at it! I'll be blogging a little more in the upcoming weeks and months as I get back at it. Until then........www.twitter.com/thefakejcoston www.facebook.com
