wolf at his threshold. —
January 1st
Just pick a goal and stick to it―no big complicated secret.
January 2nd
I’m going on a diet. (Crud, I
know.)
I am going to be cranky.
I am going to be irritable.
I am going to be moody and sad and mean.
And, yes, I am going to be hungry.
Please don’t feed me, even if I try to bite you.
Please don’t tease me, I may hurt you.
Please don’t try to encourage me, I may growl and snap at you.
Please don’t help me, I may blame you for everything aggravating in the
known universe.
Please don’t be offended by my scowl, I cannot smile.
But most importantly, please keep your distance until this trial is
over in order to prevent any unnecessary casualties.
Thank you for your understanding.
January 3rd
Goals are my north star. My
compass. The map that guides me along
the road I wish to travel. Goals are
motivations with wind in their sails—they carry me forward despite the storms.
January 4th
If you truly wish to change what is without, you must first change what
festers within.
January 5th
“Don’t simply exist in this world, but grasp life’s potential by the
jacket. Dare it to be all it can.
Make life historical—a gripping account of accomplishment.
Make life a mystery—a challenging, bold adventure.
Make life heartfelt—an enduring, poetic romance.
Whatever it is you make of your world, live the fairytale.”
January 6th
No one stands at the beginning of a race and then suddenly finds
himself at the end having never taken a step forward. And if that were to happen—the sweat and
struggle avoided—what stories would he have to tell? The goal includes the journey; it’s all part
of the dream.
January 7th
We never think lightly of those who walk with us on our uphill days.
January 8th
I believe the main purpose of life is to accept with gratitude what
you’ve been blessed with so you may use those gifts to mold yourself into the best
person you can possibly be. Learning to
discern things of true value from those of little or no worth is part of the
process.
January 9th
Trust in the silent doers. It is
far more difficult to put your dreams into action than into flowery words.
January 10th
To persist with a goal, you must treasure the dream more than the costs
of sacrifice to attain it.
January 11th
Do it again.
Play it again.
Sing it again.
Read it again.
Write it again.
Sketch it again.
Rehearse it again. Run it
again. Try it again.
Because again is practice, and practice is improvement, and improvement
only leads to perfection.
January 12th
Through sheer volume of passing days you will travel a great distance
in your lifetime. Imagine where you
might stand if your footsteps steered toward a single goal.
January 13th
Don’t be afraid to try, because you never look back on life and smile
at what you could have attempted. Joy
only brightens your countenance over those things you did attempt.
January 14th
“Brazen it out! Throw away the
scabbard! Grit your teeth, buckle down,
and die with your boots on! Or in other
words, be determined and resolved until you accomplish the thing you set out to
accomplish.”
January 15th
When a person boldly declares “You
can’t” he might as well add on “Can
you?” knowing this spoken roadblock only serves to fuel a challenge in
naturally stubborn souls.
