The Best Pizza in Town

There was a great pizza place on First Street called Angelo's. Last week I found out that they closed. The best pizza I've ever had and they are gone.

It teaches you a lesson. It is not the best who necessarily survive, it is those who keep trying. And I will keep trying until I die. Even if some people say trying is a bad word. Let them think that way. They are probably the kind that give up easily.

Keep going, no matter what. Now, as I write this, I am looking to find a better pizza.

One Year Anniversary

Today, it is one year since I moved to this apartment. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of moving to Florida.

It is hard for me to believe that I have been here a year. The time flew by. My daughter was able to meet some people thanks to her school. Now, she has to study for college tests and to change schools. She has no fear.

I have one friend in this area. She has been a rock and a great help. She also happens to have a car, which right now, I don't. It is sometimes a struggle to see her because of this. I'm hoping that by my birthday (in November), we have that little issue taken care off.

Here is my wish to you. I hope you don't do what I did and wait years before trying something new. It is not whether it failed or worked that matters. The lessons in the journey are the important thing. Besides, the adventure is not over, so we have not failed yet.

The Breakthrough

Last night I was sitting in bed when I finally had a breakthrough.

All this years of reading, writing, learning and studying had left me exhilarated and exhausted at the same time. I had figured out my issues of fear and procrastination, dealt with my consistency and worked on my attitude. One thing I was not making any headway on was living as if I already achieved my goals.

And last night it hit me. It is not enough to sit at home and visualize, set goals, follow some steps and find out about those that have gone before me. The final piece in the plan of acting as if I already am what I want to be is the daily activities.

Every decision made, from the breakfast you eat, to the exercise you choose to do, whether you spend money or not, whether you eat chocolate or almonds, has to be done from the perspective of the person you want to be. If you keep doing what you've always done....

This morning I decided to put it into practice. I have a bar height table where I work, I am actually using my desk, I starting the day writing. The difference is amazing.

Last week I worked in consistency. Now it's the real challenge. Can I consistently make decisions from where I want to be, not where I am now?
