Who are YOU?

I think everyone at some point in their lives makes a decision as to who they want to be. Are you going to be known as a great friend, goal-drive, superior athlete, the fun one, the slacker? Whether or not you come out and say I choose to be _______ or not, the decision is still there.

I asked myself, what do people say about me? The answer I hear a lot: You're an over-achiever. I always got embarrassed, said I was not an over-achiever, just lucky. Which is partly true, but I also strive to work extremely hard for everything I have.

But maybe I wanted to be more... maybe I want to be that person who can always brighten someone's day. Or the person who is always invited along because I always have fun. Or I think about some of the girls that always dress so cute and seem to have it all together. Maybe all of the above. And maybe because I am an overachiever I can strive to accomplish all of these. Which brings me to my New Years  Resolutions. It being February now, I felt it appropriate to look back and see how far I've come...

1. Don't over indulge. The best things are enjoyed in small quantities.Except good friends and great conversation.
2. Simplify. Get rid of all things toxic. Get rid of junk, friends that bring me down.
3. Make it to the gym, make the body I want to have a priority.
4. Leave work at work. If I have to stay an hour to get it done I will, but I want my evenings to be enjoyed cooking, with friends, and my dog,
5. This year, I come first. If I don't want to go out, I won't. If I really want to do something, I'm doing it. With or without anyone.

So how am I doing? So far so good. I am proud of the person I am becoming and the priorities I have laid out this year. And hopefully I am on the road to becoming exactly the person I want to become!
