I am a naturally ambitious and determined person, but because of a horrible, horrible year last year I thought I had lost the war. My war waged against my own downfalls and lack of success. The negativity of the world had almost collapsed my inner being of determination. Yet, now I have regained my spirit.
I like the under dog mentality. It drives me more when I am told what I cannot do, cannot achieve, or that I should just try something else. I almost started listening to those people ( not really), but I like them to think that.
No idea is to ambitious. No goal is unachievable. This is my belief. I have given up on my dreams. I have no dreams. Dreams are things that are a figment of the imagination. The subconscious. I am more interested in reality. Goals. A path in which I can carve out for myself in order to achieve the success, ideas, concepts, and goals that I want. Not necessarily what I deserve, but what I will take.
In this world things aren't deserved, or given. There is no right to a sense of entitlement. At least not for me or anyone else I know. Materials, dreams, goals, everything must be earned. No excuses, no blame, no limitations. One must put all notions of these concepts out of the mind. There is only YOU. What YOU do. How hard YOU work. How motivated YOU are. How determined YOU are. With this frame of mind there is only one person that can stop YOU from accomplishing everything YOU want... And that is YOU.
With that being said, I am going to get everything I aim for on that list of mine. All 23 goals that I have, I will reach. Along the way I am sure there will be the people that think I am foolish and idiotic. That my goals are too over the top, but to this I do not respond. Let people think what they want. That is what people do. I however will push ever onward and in one year's time will have transformed my self into something astonishing. That is what I believe. That is what I will do. With my back against the wall the outlook seems dim, but I do my best work under pressure. Always have. This is the hardest test I have ever given myself, but I think I am up for the task.
I will transform myself from the inside out. While others make goals and resolutions of a superficial nature... Lose weight, get out of debt, exercise more... Blah, blah, blah... I am going to transform my entire being into an anomaly of creative enlightenment by working harder, producing more, sleeping less, pushing my mind, body, and soul through determined focus and discipline. This is my goal. This is my resolution.
This is my Tipping Point. After years of study and concepts I believe after reading Maxwell Gladwell's ,Outliers, that everything has aligned. It is time to take advantage of my full potential
push it to it's boundaries. Test both the right and the left side of the brain. The analytical and the creative. Through this I will be able to accomplish more than ever before I believe.
This is a test, an experiment. I want to see what type of person I will become with such outlandish determination and goals setting. I have never tried anything that I have not believed within my realm of completion. Although this is by far the most ambitious mission I have ever tried I believe I got it all under control.
If I can just keep at it with a constant pace and not fall behind for the first three months. Then I believe it will all become routine. Anything that is made a daily routine for 90 days becomes a set pattern of behavior at least for me. It breaks the mold of something and becomes a part of one's daily life. It doesn't have to be scheduled because it is just routine. Like sleeping, eating, and breathing. It will be necessary for my survival. And honestly, I believe for my survival as a successful person I believe this plan is mandatory. It is more than a lofty set of goals that seem NEAT to try out, but instead I believe are vital to my core as an artist, writer, and human being in order to achieve the enlightenment I wish to seek.
Well... That was a mouthful. I am done for now...
