new beginnings

As a lost and sometimes frustrated recent college graduate, I often wonder what it is that I want to achieve in life. I have been boating through some rough waters with a loved-one and that feeling of being unsettled has only sunk in. A huge college debt and parents in need has inhibited any plans to travel or to snowboard hundreds of days a year. However, I will not let these circumstances bum me out. Thinking within, I would rather make myself a better person, rather than the goal that I want to achieve. I have decided to constantly remind myself of the person I want to be in this life... and it goes:
  • Appreciate every moment with your loved ones.
  • Stop thinking, "Woulda, shoulda, coulda". You can't change the past.
  • Be generous with acts of unselfishness.
  • Don't be envious of others.
  • Surround yourself with good-hearted people.
  • Keep your glass half full.
  • Live simply.
  • Take chances.
  • Dream big.
...And I'm dreaming of Crested Butte. :)
