Here's to a Great Summer!
From the very first day of summer vacation, I was having a blast. From dinners with friends, nights on Fire Island, reunions with old friends, the Invasion of the Pines, trips to Philly, camping, upstate NY, and Florida, it was a fun-filled time for sure. Here are some great memories...
Good times, yes they were, but now it's time to let go of summer and put my nose to the grindstone.
A Big Year Ahead
Today was the first day of a new school year, one that aims to be even tougher than last...and I'm already exhausted. The school year 2015-16 was my most difficult to date. I took on new responsibilities and my day to day job became monstrously difficult. This year is already shaping up to be another tough one, and I just have to dig deep and learn how to better deal with things.
It's All About Focus
Quite some time ago, I wrote about a book called The Life You Were Born to Lead, by Dan Millman, and although I can't say I've been following it faithfully since, I have kept in my mind some of the things it's taught me. The book basically uses the foundations of numerology to reveal the underlying traits that make you you, and the one thing Millman says about me that rings so true in my everyday life is that I lack focus.
Like the old saying goes, you can be good at a lot of things, but you can be really great at simply one, or two. Most old adages are founded in truth and surely this one is, especially in my case. I have my hand in many things, and I am good at a lot of them, but great at none. As I begin this new year, I find myself once again trying to 'fix' myself, and perhaps focus is the key.
So once the dust settles on the beginning of this new school year, I will be taking a good, hard look at all of the things I do and try and figure out which ones I truly love and which ones I could really do without. Then maybe I can focus on far less and get on with it...
