The holidays are over, thank God because I just don’t see my liver handling another bender! Traveling across country, for the seventh time, proved to be less stressful than most of my previous ventures. That has a great deal to do with the people I am lucky enough to call friends in my life.
It’s no secret, my life is an open book. Hell, I lost rights to having a private life the minute I signed up for Below Deck. While that may bother some, and perhaps may prove inconvenient down the road, it is not something that hinders me from living my life currently. I enjoy the hell out of doing whatever I want, when I want but that, in part, becomes applicable only because of the contacts I make and the friends willing to invite a character, like myself, into their homes. What should have been a week long road trip from Alaska to south Florida, ended up being a month spent on the road in amazing places and building up resources to continue pursuing my dreams. Meeting new people and connecting with old, got my gears grinding and my outlook renewed on the endless possibilities.
So now that the holidays are over, it is time to refocus. Utilize my skills and contacts and get down to business on projects I have given much thought to over the years and need to now implement in a manner that not only allows me to capitalize off the events and opportunities that come from my every day life as well as becoming a “public figure” because of the show, but continue to let me live each day to the fullest!
I won’t lie and say that I know what the fuck I’m doing. Nor will I think everything I can drum up will become successful, however, it’s hard for me to not think that way. The sky is the limit and with a new years resolution in place, that I must firmly stick to this go around, I can’t see these projects not taking off! Success is measured by many means but to me, it doesn’t always include money. You won’t find me chasing an opportunity purely for money but as my main priority, my focus is to remain on chasing those dreams that provide me with a sense of fulfilled passion about what it is and exactly how I chose to live.
So my new years resolution, is to see to it that I finish these projects, stay focused so that these passions of mine, so intense in fact, that to think that they not be carried through, gets me melancholy. I need to keep my promises to those friends and colleagues that have invested themselves in my interests and see to it that they aren’t let down by my fire perhaps needing to be re-lit and ignited from time to time. I will make 2020 my bitch, but in the good way, like the kind that comes in a female dog loving you unconditionally and without question.
Stay focused on your goals and do what you have to do to do what you want to do!
