Change

I created this blog to track progress of big life changes I am about to make.

First change will be community. I will get more involved in my community and make friends with people who care about things. (May sound funny and even overly simple, but it is just that.) I will seek peace through giving and accomplish this through people.

Second change will be business. I will focus on helping as many people as I can. Really helping them. not just making a couple bucks. I will focus on relationship. I will try to give freely, receive freely. And the rest will come.

Third is adventure. Every day I will push myself to do one thing that scares, overwhelms or intimidates me. I will stop putting off the things that I want to do! For this reason, I am committing to live at least one month in each country I am intrigued by. I think i will start in France this summer. I am also committed to obtaining at least one other strong business interest outside of my primary career. Ideally something I could incorporate with world travel.

Fourth is to open my mind, change how I think and think outside the box. Question all my beliefs. Make sure they are really mine. Be as open minded and free as my own heart has always wanted to be. Let go of fear and guilt and embrace love and openness. I've always been good at giving and loving. It keeps me in control. The only risk it brings is being taken advantage of. I usually haven't cared about that. But today I challenge myself to receive, to let the people around me help me, to let myself be loved. When opportunities come my way I will take them. And instead of saying "Sorry" I will say "Thank you".

Fifth is my ongoing goal to just feel "Okay". I will seek God to grant me peace, read my heart and accept me because I don't have hurtful intentions.
