As someone who is constantly planning and setting goals, I am looking at where I want to be in the future and the steps I should take to try and reach that point. They always talk about "enjoying the grind" and just trusting your process. I have truly found the importance of this thought process.…

Turning detours into determination.
We have our plan put together... We are ready to take action... We start taking steps towards our goal... And then something gets in the way. Life throws a challenge at us and we don't know what to do. Eventually, we realize we have to go through it and not around it. That can slow…
Following through.
As an avid golfer for most of my life, I understand the importance of the follow through. When I swing a golf club, I know that a good follow through is the final piece of the puzzle in terms of getting the ball to where I want it to go: The target. So, when transferring…
Frustrated, but unphased.
It's not always easy to meet a goal. There are many steps we take on our way to achieving a goal and all of them require an amount of precision. If one step is not where it needs to be, the goal can become much harder to reach. If you have read my post…
Motivating Milestones.
I've been thinking a lot about my goals lately. I have new goals every day and oftentimes, they change based on what is going on around me/in my life. We should always be motivated to reach our goals, but sometimes I find myself just "hoping" that my goals are achieved. It's not that I don't…
Reflecting from the ER.
As you know, last week (a week ago today) I made a post about how I was sick and pushing through that. Well, the last 6 days were pretty rough! (Hence my week-long absence from posting.) I had bad flu-like symptoms on Tuesday and Wednesday, then Thursday and Friday my voice was completely gone and…
Don’t trip on fear.
As our day tends to flow, there are many obstacles we face. The world will always throw something at you that you aren't ready for. It comes in all shapes and sizes, but each day has obstacles. I've learned, over time, that each obstacle that shows up is just another part of life. I…
Planning.
Yesterday, I started to plan for my final semester of college (I can't believe it started today!). I've always loved planning things out and maintaining organization. It always seems to bring me a sense of peace, a sense of control, and de-stresses my life. However, a thought crossed my mind as I was…
How patience becomes easier.
"Patience is a virtue." As I've discussed before, I have been in a period where I've had to wait for things to come. I knew they were coming (and they were good things), but I couldn't do anything about them because it wasn't time yet. Now that the time has come for these things…
Bound and determined not to be bound.
As I continue to reflect on my goals/reminders for myself in 2020 and look at my current to-do list, things can become stressful. I don't handle stress the best, but I start to handle it better when I take a step back... So that's what I did today. The step back I took today…
