I guess it really is true that today is the first day of the rest of your life. To be more precise, each moment is the start of the rest of your life. This past weekend, life got in my way a lot, and I let some of my resolutions and goals get put on the back burner. Now, I’m faced with the tough task of getting back on track. Part of getting back on track is re-evaluating your goals based on where you are. I still think all of my goals are still valid and do-able, but with recent changes in my life, I still need to re-evaluate my goals based on where I am now.
I’m basically in a situation where I’m going to need to find a place to stay pretty soon. I already have some ideas and places I can go, but the unstable nature of it means I can’t plan on how much money I will be spending on housing over the next few months. Because that’s my biggest expense, it will be pretty hard to plan for how my money will go. My overall goals stay the same, and I can still focus on those. In the short term, my priorities will have to shift a little bit, though. That’s okay, as long as I plan it out and keep the big picture in mind.
I think even with all this going on, I will still be able to go after my first concrete snow-flake goal, which I will write about a little later. The most important thing is that I have to realize that this moment, I have to start again, and try to keep my steps going in the right direction. I can’t beat myself up to bad for slip ups, even if they have happened a couple of times recently. I need to be aware, and not make my slips a habit. It will take focus, but I can do it. I just have to keep steppin’ in the right direction.
