New Mind.

I must admit, I'm really beginning to enjoy riding my bike to and from work. At first, I thought it would be a lot of work trying to maintain a consistency. And even though I've only done it 2 times already, I know that come next week I'll be doing it all the time. Of course, I can't ride my bike when I have band practice or a gig because my body is just doing too much. However, I believe that with enough practice and effort things will work out just right.

I have spent the week working on the foundation of my life, and wanting nothing more than to establish a firm commitment to new ideals and new ways of thinking things out. I know 2011 has been bloody awful for me, but I also know that I could've made different choices earlier in the year, instead I was just stuck making the same decisions I've made previously. In a sense, my mind was corrupted by the fears of the past, present, and future. I use to think that I "can't", "couldn't" and "won't" do things, now I'm not afraid. I'm not saying that fear dominated my ability to make choices, I'm simply saying that certain illogical decisions limited my ability to create new challenges for making better choices.

Like for instance, I use to ride a bicycle when I was in High School. It was a way for me to stay in shape while playing on the Basketball team and maintaining a 4.0 GPA. And believe it or not it helped me achieve a lot of things while in High School. However, as I became more of an adult new elements of life came into place and I had to re-evaluate what was important. And over time I simply forgot key aspects that showed how driven and dedicated I was to being successful. Now that I'm exercising again, I don't want to lose that element... I will work hard to make it my center so I don't lose sight of my goals.

So yeah, I'm creating new goals and aspirations for myself... because I know that the current path has to be reinforced with strength, courage, and unwavering focus. I won't be denied what is rightfully mine for the taking, and I won't listen to phrases like "NO" or "CAN'T". I'm going to take one week at a time and maintain a creative outlook on life and hopefully with time I can change things for the better.
