Yeah, I know, everybody's tired of Michael Jackson. But I've always loved that song, and it's very apt for where I'm at right now.
In recent years, I've found myself steadily losing self-confidence, and not liking myself very much for it. This isn't really the healthiest way to live.
Now, I don't really believe in fate or signs and predestination or anything like that, but my friend showed me a website last night that might actually make a difference in my life. It might be a way for me to find myself, the old self, that I liked so much more.
You simply post your list of goals that you want to accomplish, and keep up with progress by making diary-style entries. Other members can comment and cheer you on. I already had one person comment on the goal that's probably the most important to me with encouragement and camaraderie and I already feel better about accomplishing that goal. I feel more hopeful and optimistic about myself than I've felt in a long time. I think this is something I can actually stick with and improve myself. I want to so bad but I lack the self-discipline. Writing things down concretely, that I can reread, and admit problems to myself that I never really put into words before is exponentially helpful in motivating me and keeping me on track. This website is amazing and I fully intend to take advantage of it.
In a random PS note: we took my cat to the specialist today and it turns out he has this herpes (we knew he had herpes, 99.9% of cats actually have it because it's airborne. no biggie.) sore in his eye. It does have to be surgically removed, but it's not a very risky surgery. It's going to be rough and uncomfortable and insanely expensive, but without it, his eye could rupture and nobody wants that! I'm just so happy that it's not cancer! I was so worried.
That's all for now. I'm going off to make a change for once in my life! It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right! =]
