The Air up There.

Inner strength to reach goals comes from the focus on yourself, drowning out all other negative people and voices that keep you retreating to a place you want to leave. I have learned alot about people the past two decades as a young adult then adult. It was only the past few years I realized that though we cannot cut negative people out completely, we can learn to tune them out, and let their bad vibes be that- theirs. I think too many people act and believe things that are really not based on their true self, but on what they think others want or see them to be. This is growing up- not doing things because of a faux persona or character you see yourself as, but growing into the person who reaches goals and lives their dreams without waiting for concensus, without asking permission, and without testing the air.

Never test the air- just do it. We did, and are much happier for it. New goals to meet for me personally and for my family. We don't ask, we do. We let go of the wondering and took risks that pay off. Some people shop then cry in debt, some people live thrifty and count their coins. Some people binge and then walk it off, living in shallow regret but never truly wanting to change. I have made many personal decisions the past 12 months and some have already paid off. In the end, it is only when you are moving towards positive things and away from the places, people or environments that drag you down can you really grow.

Grow baby grow!
