Being proactive is not a mysterious quality that we have, or don’t have. It is a way of dealing with things, that we can develop and strengthen. ProactiveChange.com
It has taken a while for me to post here this year, because I have been trying to figure out what I want this blog to be this year. And, if it weren't for Andre I probably wouldn't have posted for a while (You rock!).
I successfully posted every month last year (one of the 101 goals) and I am trying to decide if I want to continue that through 2012. If so, I want it to be a little different. I think self-reflection is a good discipline and I like have a medium of sharing some aspects of my life with my friends that I don't get to talk to and/or see very often. So, I will definitely update periodically with that kind of thing, but I think this year I want to say farewell to just focusing on life as it unfolds.
I'd like this blog to be more proactive. What I mean by that is I want this to be a reflection of a life well lived and a way to put out into the atmosphere those things that I hope to gain, accomplish, do and be. I don't want to just write about what has happened or my reflections (Lord knows I have the introspection thing down to a science!).
No, this congé of the old blog (and consequently way of being) is my first movement toward a more enriching life experience. This year, I have plans to accomplish a lot more on my 101 list (thanks again to roomie for the encouragement to craft it) and in addition to that to take more risk. Life is for the living right?
I don't want to live a life where things are just happening to me. I have been given the power (we all have) to be the co-author of my life (God's the other author, of course). So, this blog be different. I will write more about accomplishing my 101 and living a more "take charge" life.
