Well 2013 ended not like as I would have liked, but it ended on a decent note now on to 2014. I am pretty excited for what the new year will bring. New adventures, self improvement, and perhaps some insight into life and what it's all about.
I ended the year in New York City to get away from the sun and laid-back casual California attitude. Maybe it's my military background or perhaps I'm just a traditional/conservative (not politically) type person. I prefer being well dressed versus cargo shorts, flip flops and a tank top. ANYWAYS, NYC was an eye opening experience. The people, the culture, the food, and the energy within the city is just plain amazing and I can't wait to get back.
While I was there gearing up for New Years Eve I began pondering the prior year and what I had accomplished. There's no point in looking at the things i didn't accomplish so I didn't bother spending any time on it. Goal wise 2014 is a year I am not too sure about. I have one main goal, Do awesome at school. I have other small goals that I would like to accomplish but that's my main number #1 goal that i am putting all my attention on. I have also begun to look at myself and how I can improve the things I dislike about myself, well more like the areas that I am not good at. Things like public speaking, improving my social skills, and working on improving my overall attitude towards life. I am always comparing myself to others and I know it is wrong. There is no "life" yardstick that all of us are measured on. We each have a yardstick made for each of us. So my yardstick isn't the same as yours. I want to improve the way I manage my time. Too many times I find myself spending hours watching Netflix or just watching movie trailers of upcoming theater releases, that's all time I could be spending doing something to improve myself. So I want to set up time blocks with the goal of improving my time management and to use my time more efficiently.
I am not too worried about the people I am surrounded with, most of the negativity is gone, the important ones are around and support me in my endeavors. Of course I would like more friends that are into the same things as I am. Things like Tech, Finance, films, and travel are things I enjoy and am looking for more people who enjoy those topics. But I'm not actively searching for them, I am just going to do my thing and hopefully I'll meet people along the way.
