Taking Stock

Before I am ready to make any kind of resolution to make myself better in the next year - I have to look at the past to see what I did wrong and to calculate what I can do better in the upcoming year. The things that I have "let slide" which I would wish not to and those things that I have learned and want to continue. 

In my career: I have tried too hard to fit into what I think is someone else's vision for what I am and what I should be. I have been living too long by what the "world' says I should do and what work looks like.  If I am to make my business succeed - I must see it as that. I know it is not traditional in the way that I go to work and let someone else tell me when to be there and when to do work. It is self directed. I do not get a regular paycheck one in which I can count on coming at a certain time of week/month. I have to manage with what I have. 

In my love life: I must really determine who I really am before I can think of offering that to someone else. I must make sure that I understand what is important to me. I must put in place my own ideals and look for someone who fits those. Not me fit into someone else's.

In life in general: There are so many people that say they want to be healthier or be more responsible when it comes to money. I want those things too. But I have to determine WHY. Why do I want to be healthier and what are the steps that I need to take to get that done?  Why do I care about money? How can I be more cognizant of what I have and what I don't - but still be able to do the things that I want to accomplish. I have to put down some goals on how to get that done.
