I had an interesting year. Lots of happy times, but a lot sad times, too. I lost one of my best friends from cancer, and I am still having a hard time with the loss, which is expected.
Despite the loss, I had a lot of good things that happened. I have learned a lot about life and even more, about myself. I am really spreading my wings and trying very hard to focus on my talented photography skills. Chicks dig dudes with mad skills. Speaking of chicks, I have been with Erica for a first and complete year. Just from that alone, I have learned more about myself and see a lot of need for improvement. And I also figured out that I am somewhat dyslexic, and from that, I have been able to excell in my photography in an exponential degree. It is my passion, and I am moving and growing full force.
So with the idea of moving forward, I want to make this year a strong year for ACTION & GOALS! I don't have time for traditional resolutions to problems that will end up broken by February.
This year, my 2009 New Year Action is CHOICE! At first it sounds weird, and I had a hard time to explain choice to Erica as a new idea for action. Lately, it seems that I have not been able to do what to do with my time, and that something else pops up in my schedule that I have to do. I feel that I spread myself out too thin and that burns me out, which is unfortunate because I miss out on seeing a lot of people.
In 2009, I am CHOSING to do what is best for ME. We all need to put our needs first for ourselves. There is too many times we put the needs of others before our own. I just can't do that anymore... Sounds selfish? Not really. If everyone would focus on themself and become independent on what they choose their needs and growth to be, you wouldn't have to give your time and effort to help someone out.
This is a complicated issue, and in no way I am saying don't help anyone out anymore. I am talking about choice, and making my choices to improve myself with my actions because I normally make too many plans and choices, and I can't get to them all.
Example: Lately, I feel that almost all of my choices I make, someone gets their feelings hurt because my choices and promises end up affecting other people, and I sometimes flake out on the important people in my life. And when I can't keep my promises, everybody loses, including me. I am still learning on how to use my choices to benefit me, and not other people.
As expressed in a blog post about a week ago, everyone was so busy running around for the holidays. So my brother & cousins went on a little camping trip to get away. We planned about a month in advance to ditch town, and go camping. It was everyones choice to go, and we all relaxed and benefited from the trip.
