The Start of something good.


Being focused on doing one particular thing will bring about the greatest end goal. A great quote I've heard is, "When washing dishes, just wash dishes." Meaning that by focusing on washing the dishes and not anything else you will become absorbed in doing the dishes and wash them to your very best ability. By doing your very best in that seemingly monotomous, boring task of washing dishes you will be happy and satisfied. Whatever the task might be if you get absorbed and involved in that task the task will begin to matter. That being said its also important to switch your mind to the next task and not still have a dish washing mindset after all the dishes have been washed. Don't live in the past.

That being said, january tends to be a good month to start planning your goals for the year. Ill write my physical one on this blog to try and help keep me accountable and not back out of them. Some races that I have signed up for already include;

* Wilderness 101 MTB Race--July 28

* NYC Marathon-- November 4 ( Thats right. Finally got in it.)

Some personal goals include

* Swim 120 miles (which just happens to be approximately the length of Lake Champlain)
I encourage you all to write down some goals and tell others about them. It doesn't matter what type of goal it is. I also have a goal of finishing the painting I started along with a bunch of other goals. Don't worry if you cant accomplish them. Failure is a way to learn.
Dont keep dwelling on a matter. Think, Decide and forget. Think about the best course of action. Decide to follow through with the action, even if there may be a better way to do it, you will learn from your mistakes. Then Forget about it, just do it as the phrase goes. Don’t overthink it.
