Take a Risk

So today is my blogs anniversary and it’s also my birthday. I’ve been blogging in some sort of form for the last 5 years, 4 under the Lyndonology moniker. I’ve been on this planet for 33 years and I’m still wondering what the hell I’m doing. I’ve been thinking about what the theme for this year should be, what direction should I take. I couldn’t help but think of a quote from the show Heroes. (Strangely I stopped watching after this episode)

All I know, is I’ve played it safe most of my life. Probably because of my social anxieties. But you can only blame the things that hold you back for so long, before you have to take a long look in the mirror and realize that it was you all along. I can honestly say I’m not very happy about the way things have turned out and the path that I’m currently on. I’m going to try to improve three things about myself and hopefully in a year, I’ll look back at this as a turning point.

My List

1. Improve the quality of my posts. While Twitter recaps are a nice way to catch up on the things you were interested in. I know I should be doing more. The quality and the quantity of my posts have severely gone down. I don’t really have an excuse when I have so many tools (computer, camera, ideas) at my disposal.
2. Improve my financial situation. I’ve been slumming it too long. I’m tired of living under my means. I want money and the power that comes along with it. Maybe it sounds selfish or a little too Scarface. But no one’s ever gotten to the top by being nice. Trust me, I’ve been nice my entire life and it hasn’t gotten me anywhere.
3. Improve my health. I don’t envision myself with a six-pack or abs that you could use as a washboard. But I know that I’ve neglected my body for too long. I’ve already started improving my eating habits, now I just need to work so more physical activity into my schedule.

I don’t know how far I’ll get. But I do intend to give it my best effort and whatever happens, happens!!

…Later
