One Step Forward, Hope it Sticks...

I feel rather foolish creating this blog about becoming better and only having one post. I think that if it can be considered a vice, that inconsistency is mine. Everytime I take one step forward, I take two steps back. I was waiting to write here until I had something wise or impressive to say. I heard once that if you haven't been reading, you have nothing to say worth listening to. It seems as though since I determined to start improving myself, every force in the universe has been sent out to keep me down. It's given me very little that I felt was worth writing about. But I guess the joy is in the journey, not the destination. Although, I think I find the word 'frustration' a lot more accurate than 'joy' to describe this particular journey.

This is called 'rising' above mediocrity, so I might as well include you in the process; the struggles to rise above and overcome my setbacks, instead of getting there and telling you how it went.

Gotta Start Somewhere

I've been contemplating how to get this blog rolling. I feel like my mind is a bit stagnant after having children, and I'm not able to immerse myself in books like I used to do. But I am growing restless. I want to be learning and put what I learn into practice. I want to strengthen my weaknesses. I want to live my dreams. And the only thing stopping me is me. I got sucked back into thinking mediocre thoughts and getting comfortable not having to stretch myself and grow. But not growing, not struggling, not achieving or learning or dreaming is starting to get uncomfortable.

And it's time to do something about it.
