It is the season of rebirth and rejuvenation. Maybe that’s why
I am feeling the need to check back in with myself since the turn of the New
Year. A lot of things have been swirling around in this little head of mine, as
I’m sure they have for you too. Spring does that.

I think it is important to take the time to look around at
where we stand both backward and forward and make conscience efforts to better
our selves. New Years is not the only time that we can do this, it just seems
to be the only time that most of us do.

Sitting down and looking at the past couple months I have made
some huge strides toward some of my goals and been left stagnate on others. If I
were going to rate myself I would probably give myself a C-.

I’m not going to be hard on myself or make excuses, because that’s
all a waste of time. Instead I’m going to take that evaluation and move forward
with it. I’m going to re-establish my goals. Some may alter slightly, my plan
of attack for some might change (since clearly the past one wasn’t working),
and some I may simply drop, or trade for new goals.

I am on a journey to becoming a better person, the person that I
want to be. It’s going to take a lot of hard work. I know. I also know
that I’m not going to be successful in everything I set out to do. The thing is
that if I don’t try, if I don’t strive for something then what exactly am I doing
here? I don’t want to simply exist. I don’t care if I am remembered or even if I
touch another person’s life. I simply want to live fully and completely love
who I am and what I stand for.

This doesn’t seem like it’s a lot, or that it’s impossible,
it just takes a little effort. Right?

Have you checked in with yourself lately? How would you rate yourself? What are you going to do to better that rating?
