Happy New Year!
5 years ago
Well, 2019 has come and gone. And might I say this year was filled with many successes, advancements and memories.
But was it enough??? OF COURSE NOT! There is always room for improvement!
Leading up to New Years Eve, I spent a lot of time in retrospection. Being that I never really grew up with the strong influence of my father
I began to question what it meant to be a Man, and if I fit that definition. I spent a great deal of focus talking with friends and family and on their
thoughts of 'Manhood" and everyone seemed to have different answers. Mostly characteristics; Strong, Brave, Responsible, Hard Working, Providing,
Stoic... etc, etc. I can't say that I know with absolute certainty at this point whether or not I have found the answer, but upon all the men I look up to
in my life I would say that the one thing they all share in common is a strong display of Self-Discipline. A concept that for the most part has been
a part of my vocabulary or mindset. And I think that all the struggles and problems I have faced in my life has been linked to a lack of Self-Discipline or Control
Control of my Emotions, Control of my Actions, Control of my Finances, Control of my Health...
What better time to set forth this new path. At the turning of the year and the turning of the decade.
***My New Year's Resolution will be to become the Master of Myself.***
Yeah, I know that seems vague. But in essence I will break it down into aspects of my myself and work toward each of these things little by little.
Like a Skill Tree with many milestones on each branch. Yes, this I think is ideal. There is already a massive list before me of things I know that must be done.
I think this is going to turn out to be a most productive year.
Thank you all for your support and listening to me spill my mind out onto this journal.
What are your New Year's Resolutions, if you have any.
