We went more than 800 miles from home, but it was so worth it. I am renewed, and have a new game plan and new ideas of things I want to accomplish through the end of 2018. The funny thing is there were thousands of things to do, yet I only choose to do a handful. The major thing I did was nothing, I got up late everyday except the first day. I cooked some days and we ate out some days. We stay in a resort so if you can do that or at least a hotel with a full kitchen which makes the choice easier and less expensive. There were so many activities, but I chose most of the time to just lay by the pool taking in the sun, I also did my daily walk around the grounds of the resort which is built around a lake. I could go on but I hope you get the picture.
Today's lesson: Getting closer to doing what you love, how?

We all have a finite amount of time and we have a tendency to believe otherwise. Living in the D.C. metro area we race around every day at a crazy pace and the energy is highly stressed which makes it easy to lose your focus and get dragged into the motion, of doing what has to be done to survive like in existing.
I'm sure that this isn't the only place like this, but to get to your next level of living you must enjoy where you are now. If you are not enjoying what you do daily you will stay stuck in that existence, it is the law of the Universe.
What are the laws of the universe?
Time to create joyously what you want to live this year and beyond. I know that you can do it.
P.S. Stop trying to be perfect, there is no such thing. Mess up trying to figure it out!
To your success,
D.S. Woodard
