"I think you have a lot of talent; I just think you need to see that you do."

How can people claim to see all of this potential in me, when I can't even see it for myself?

2020: Strategy and Tactics

There is something to be said about feeling optimistic about the future. Seriously, this is an all-new sensation for me and I like it.

I want to feel this feeling more often.

The game plan:

1. I will actively and strategically make decisions that further encourage this feeling of optimism in my life.

2. These decisions will create a positive feedback loop that helps foster future successes. In time this positive feedback loop will become self-sustaining and self-perpetuating.

2b. "Success breeds success due to increased confidence" and desire to maintain forward momentum generated by past successes. - Markus Raab, Ph.D.

3. The end result will be an atmosphere of success and optimism that allows for a foundation of positivity to form. This foundation will permeate all future decision-making processes.

4. This positivity will also spread to my close friends and family, fostering an environment that promotes success in the pursuit of individual goals and achievements.

There is something to be said about feeling optimistic about the future. "The future is ours for the taking," as Turnip and the Radishes once sang. Now it is time to get after it.

Liberation

There's nothing like walking rain-soaked city streets late at night and hearing fireworks go off without warning in the near distance, realizing that the year has come to an end and a new year has commenced in its place.

Twelve months. The clock is already ticking. Let's get after it.
