I've been avoiding writing this blog because I knew that it meant that 40 is officially in the rear view mirror and the long slow journey to 50 has begun.
I know that I should be trying to sleep, but since it's almost 5am, that goal is probably a long shot. I keep thinking about all of the things that I should be doing, ie sleeping, but my brain refuses to just shut down. I have a movie strip in my head of everything that's been happening over the last year, and it's been a lot as well as everything else I actually want to do this year.
I've accomplished a ton of things and I have nothing to be sorry about, but, I can't lose momentum. I have too many other things that I want to accomplish. I've decided to focus on losing weight and exercising and writing a novel, (it's just too complicated a story to tell as a screenplay, I should know, I already tried) as the big goals that I want to work on this upcoming year.
I can look back on the last year and see the goals that I did make, finishing a screenplay sending it out into the world was my biggest, but I also made some smaller goals. Granted, I wasn't as successful as I wanted with my Kickstarter campaign, or getting an agent, but I learned so much from what I did do, it's now time to put it all into some kind of action plan which is what I want to do next.
I know the hardest part for me is maintaining motivation and momentum, which is what happened the last few months on my journal writing goal. If I have a down day, sometimes it can completely throw me for a loop, this time I'm going to make it a little easier on me and do something like 52 weeks of 41. Easier to keep up with.
40 wasn't too bad, in fact it was kind of fun and now that 41 is here, I have a lot to look forward to. It's time to stop wasting time and just taking everything to the next level. I have the tools, I just need to add my support team as I move on to accomplish my next set of goals.
41 is looking pretty darn good!
