Rising up, back on the streets

I am lousy when it comes to organization and dealing with complacency. When success comes my way I have a tendency to let up. Its probably the reason why I wasn't a great athlete in high school. Physically I could have been, but that determination to be great was lacking.

I really want to cultivate that desire to be great at things. Being mediocre blows! Striving for excellence has to be a major part of my focus from now on, and this extends alllll the way to every part of my life. It's not ok to have just lost some weight, I want to be in great shape! its not enough to have a good paying job..I want a job that is fulfilling, pays great and is something I love doing. I want to be an awesome musician, and sing better..not just average!

I have to raise my standards for everything! And I think organization is the key for me. I created a new calender for myself, and am filling in reminders, and setting up certain times to work on my goals. My hope is that these constant reminders will push me to do what's necessary to really be great at the things that are important to me.

One good quality I do have, is that I'm constantly examining myself (that sounds weird), and trying to keep myself on track. I remember reading a self help book a while back, and one major thing I took from it was that every day is a new opportunity for success. Whatever happened yesterday, is the past..what's important is what you're going to do today!
