Day one.
I am new to the blogging world. I don't know what will fill the posts of this blog but I know that a year from now I will look back and be proud of what I have discovered about myself.
My goals are simple. Be happy and live with a purpose.
Most days I would say the first is a guarantee. I have and always will find my happiness in those around me. I remember a class in high school where we had to go around the room and talk about our hobbies and interest. We were asked to tell our peers what it was that made us really happy. As you might guess most students identified their happiness in playing a sport or something to do with the performing arts. When it was my turn I stated my answer: people. People have always been the base of everything I do. From playing sports on teams with all my friends to being an orientation leader for new students and their families in college. Even in my career I am working with people every day.
The second is a taller order. I know that my purpose in life will have to do with people. I believe that God puts in all of our hearts desires that he wants us to discover and use to the fullest potential. My goal over the next several months is to discover the best possible version of myself. This means getting honest about everything: mind, body and spirit. (I have to given credit where credit is due and thank Canvas-SF AIM Commitment if you haven't heard about Canvas-SF you will learn more as my blog goes on.)
Mind-"A mind is a terrible thing to waste"
I will set and accomplish several goal geared to strengthen my mind.
-LEED GA certification -learn to play the piano -read more -write more -solve a crossword puzzle
Body: "It's never too late to become what you might have been"
I will push myself to get in the best shape of my life.
-Run a 5k start to finish -try yoga -run on the trails
Spirit- "You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body"
I will take time to listen to what my heart's desires are and grow closer to the God that put them there.
-Overcome anxieties -read in the Word more -find inner peace (who knows what this will look this)
So as I wrap up my first blog post I am relieved to know that I will probably be the only person to read this and mortified to live up to the goals set out above. If you do stumble upon this blog and take the time to read it, I invite you to join me in becoming the best version of you possible.
Until next time...
