2014

As the clock struck twelve last evening and the fireworks exploded above me, casting beautiful lights all around, I closed my eyes and made my new year's resolutions. Among the many, I would like to travel more/go on adventures, work out through cardio, think less and act more. Overall, I want to get out of my comfort zone and experience life without all the voices that have been implanted in my head making excuses. During 2013, I graduated from college and am now free to do what I please, well, free in the sense that I don't have a course schedule I need to follow.

Today while leaving a lake house, I heard the voice on the radio state that most new year's resolutions only last a week.  What? Why, why would you broadcast this news to everyone? It's as if you've struck a knife into everyone who felt inspired when 2014 came around. Whether we know it or not, those words, those phrases, they affect us deeply.

What I am really trying to do this year is a complete lifestyle change. I'm going to use this blog to document my journey, and hopefully inspire anyone else who wants to get out of their comfort zone and have their new year's resolutions last longer than a week.
