I found a really good article about productivity. The key wasn’t that I learned a ton of new information but I learned strategies to bring and string that information into a productive set of patterns for myself. In simpler terms, I figured out how to use what I know in order to make me better. That is the theme for the year. For once I am going to fall into that familiar well of wishes for the new year. I am making a resolution to strive and achieve the best version of myself.
I need this the way a body needs water and air. I want to live this year like it could be my last while preparing for the eventuality that it is not. What I want above all else is to be back in a place where I feel constantly happy and confident in every aspect of my life where I can exercise a modicum of control. Honestly, I don’t know that I feel that confidence in any area and the happiness in fleeting in all areas save one.
Luke Cage is fond of saying ‘Always Forward’ so I will continue to honor that by not trying to be some long forgotten version of myself, but instead the me that is and can be, focused on what I need and want and desire most in this world. It is a tough charge that involves getting out of my comfort zone in a number of areas, but I think it is a challenge and I need a challenge as of late. I need to stop feeling like a victim and get back in control of what is and what is to be.
I always liked how that felt.
