I know it's a bit cliche, the whole idea of "re-inventing" something for the New Year. But I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm "re-inventing" this blog, because I'm not. I'll still write about a variety of things, as I always have been. The reason I've changed the title is so that it can identify a little better with the contents of this blog, and myself.
When I say "the journey to extraordinary", I simply mean the journey to becoming who I really want to be. And it's not like I am not who I want to be currently, or that I don't think I'm extraordinary now. It's just that I know that I'm young, and although am quite sure of who I am now, I am bound to change as time goes on. And although I do think I'm already extraordinary, I hope to think that the changes I will encounter in myself will only make me more extraordinary.
And this is in no way a 2014 thing; this, for me, is a lifetime goal: to be the most extraordinary me I can be. And I do dearly hope and encourage you all to do the same. Rather than making out a long list of "resolutions", make your goal to embark on your own personal journey to becoming the most extraordinary you you can be. That in no way means one thing; becoming extraordinary could (and probably should) encompass tons of things and goals that you want to do and obtain that you feel will help you progress along that journey. And remember, it's different for everyone; maybe you want to lose weight, or be more daring, or even just improve your calligraphy. Whatever you feel will enhance the best in you, make that your goal.
Now, personally, I definitely have quite a few goals in mind that I strive to accomplish before 2015 rolls around. These include:
-completing and publishing my first book
-become more active and competitive in my acting career
-be more spontaneous
-lose 1 pant size/tone up/get stronger
-take better care of my hair
-become more fluent in Benin and Korean
-make my closet more colorful
-become more active in community service
-read more novels
-engage more actively in Pilates
There are probably more, but these are the ones that really stick out to me.
And I encourage you to write your goals down! I have an iPhone, so I typed mine in under both my 'Notes' and 'Reminders' applications, so that I always have it with me, and am constantly reminded about it. For instance, I have a reminder that tells me to go to my local elementary school once a week to help bag meals for the students whose families can't afford it. I also have a daily reminder that tells me to take some time and do some Pilates. These reminders not only help me to remember, but also puts me on a schedule, so that doing these things become a routine for me. You can do something similar with your goals, like put it in your phone, or you can write it down and put it somewhere where you will always see it and be constantly reminded to do it.
Let 2014 be the year that you start moving towards bringing out the most extraordinary in you. Because if you don't do it, who will?
Have a Happy New Year guys. (:
