A Journey through November…

Some of my friends have created lists of 101 things they’d like to accomplish in 1,001 days. I was working on something similar….100 things I’d like to do before I die…however, I think I work better when dealing with short term goals. So, I’ve decided that each month I shall embark upon a new (and hopefully), challenging journey. I’m not suggesting that every month the journey will be focused on achieving some crazy goal, rather each month’s journey will focus on doing things that make me a better overall person and push me closer to my destiny.

So what’s in store for November…

Well, November marks the beginning of the season of thankfulness. One of the things that I am most grateful for is my life, so this month I am challenging myself to focus on just that, my life. I think one of the best ways to live life to the fullest in to take care of our health (mental, physical, and spiritual). Over the past few months, I’ve found myself so busy that I’ve put my personal needs on the bottom of my priority list. This isn’t the true desire of my heart; it’s simply the place that I now find myself in. I know for myself that this must change if I am to maintain my sanity on my job, amongst my peers, and around my family. I’m also looking to my future and feel very strongly that I need to engage in healthier behaviors now so that I will be able to provide for my own family in the future.

So, here’s to the beginning of a new journey…
