“Don’t let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole. Don’t try to picture everything bad that could possibly happen. Stick with the situation at hand.”
Marcus Aurelius
Good-Bye 2017
There is no use in being to nostalgic over the chasm to the new year being crossed this frigid evening.
Time passes, Time waits for no man, Time is the cradle that contains the beauty, pain, passions, thrills and all of what as life winds down matters most, each of our impression, experiences – Our legacy.
For me I embrace the journey I began several years back, a journey seeking tension, a journey seeking creating change, Change that is needed and Change that is wanted.
2017 was a great step
2017 was game changing
I spent last evening writing notes, lists, reflecting and for me here is what I write on paper and toss out the window at the turn of midnight.
Fear
Insecurity
Excuses
Complaining
In 2018,
I am determined to ,
Become great at Execution
Become a Practitioner in everything I do with a true vision of 1>0
Disconnect Daily with confidence
Give, do more for others – This is the most important part of my 2018 goal list to me
Put myself out there and embrace building my personal brand as a vehicle to help the community that has provided me all of the great relationships and opportunities I have.
be truly self-aware of who I am and make no apologies- I am a bodybuilder, that is in my DNA
Make a point to reflect daily and remember it must always be about Legacy, and impacting others over currency and profits.
I am absolutely grateful for the 2017 that has opened my eyes and mind in so many ways. I am grateful for all of the friends I have and from a inspirational perspective the gentleman who has influenced me most @thisissethsblog Seth Godin.
Anyone who knows me knows I have been a insatiable reader on a quest for knowledge. Words of the stoic Seneca has brought about such serious reflection that I am committing to a short list of authors, books which I shall keep and revisit regularly.
“It is not how many books thou hast, but how good; careful reading profiteth, while that which is full of variety delighteth.”
2018 for me is the year of Executing and becoming a Practitioner through action
I sincerely wish each and everyone Inspiration and the unyielding desire to create something real for someone….because after all isn’t that what its all for- Someone else?
Felice anno nuovo
God Bless
