My Why

My Why

I have had several blogging attempts in my life.  Most of them start out pretty strong and then fizzle out because I lose passion in it.  I let myself get discouraged when no one reads or joins me. I fail because of my self-imposed limitations. I lost site. This journey isn't about my family, my business, or anything physical in this world.  It is about me.  

I have I have had businesses that failed. Finances that were/are in shambles. People I have let down. Physically I am in the worst shape of my life! I have spent the majority of my life fighting and trying to fix a life, that if we are honest, I don't love.

This Stops Now.

To really find my passion, I have to take a good, long look at myself.  What I like and what I don't like.  Examine my strengths and weaknesses.  I have started listening and watching positive messages. No more true crime podcasts and books (at least until I get my mind right). Instead, I am filling my mind and heart with things that will feed my soul. 

To figure this out, I started with a list (well, actually 2). 
20 things I want in life and 20 thinks I DO NOT want in life.

You can see my lists here. 

I was able to narrow my lists down to what I want to focus on, and what I want to eliminate - by concentrating my focus on the good - the elimination will come naturally (at least I think so).

• Be - present, aware, open, receiving, vulnerable, authentic

• Fit - physically fit, fiscally fit, spiritually fit

• Fab(ulous) - amazingly good; kind, giving, compassionate

• Fun - optimistic, adventurous, happy 

I am attempting to channel my energy on being the good, seeing the good, sharing the good. That is what this blog will focus on.  Those are the topics you will find within these posts.

That is where I find myself now. Am I perfect, no. Will I ever be? no. But I will learn from my trials and failures, and seek the good in all.  Love is the answer. Love for my family, love for others, love for my work, and ultimately, love for myself.

I am sharing this journey with you, because I know, someone out there needs to see the good, needs to know that they are not alone, and maybe this is the good that they need to see today.
