THE 2013 THEORY/ part two

You may remember my post at the start of this year explaining how 2013 would be the best year of my life. I'm not going to pretend like it hasn't fallen short of almost all of my expectations, but I'm not going to wallow in self pity about it either. Truthfully, the only reason this year hasn't been great so far is because I haven't allowed it to be great.

Maybe it's because I'm so negative by nature, maybe it's because I'm in a rut, who knows. I can "blame" it on a million different things but the reality is that only I have the power to change it. I was talking with my friend a few days ago and I briefly mentioned how this year wasn't going how I expected it to go and he just simply told me that the year isn't over yet. That sparked something in me. How could I throw in the towel while there are a few good months left?

So I set another goal for myself. As of September 1st, this year will be reborn. Think of it like a second New Years, if you will. I'm going into the last stretch of this year with nothing but positive thoughts and wishful thinking. I'm hoping going to make every moment count, and when 2014 rolls around, I'll aim to make that year even better.

A few personal goals are: carrying my camera with me more often, updating my blog more often, waking up earlier and eating a proper breakfast, regulating my sleep schedule, getting back into some of my old hobbies (photography and writing), going on new adventures and welcoming new people into my life.

I'll be sure to update you all on my progress.
