Alright.

I was supposed to post this at the very start of July.

The days have flown by. What the hell happened? Let me give you a quick update with the events being in chronological order.

Vacation → Another Vacation → Multiple Immediate Family Birthdays → Leasing a New Apartment → Moving, Moving, Moving, Boxes, Unpacking, Driving, Building New Furniture, Buying New Furniture, etc. etc. → My Own Birthday On the 18th (Spent Unpacking and Doing Random Errands, etc. etc.

NOW WE’RE HERE. Time has honestly flown by but I’ve been recharged and I am ready to embrace the new era and evolving melody. Enough of me though, let me give you some value.

P.S. I still have no WIFI, and no A/C but we’re trucking along. Using the apartments community Wi-Fi currently. Remote life or something I guess.

Here’s the reality of it.

And this is not some dumbass fearmongering tactic. I am going to implement this myself.

The year’s halfway over.

And most people?
Still lying to themselves.

About their discipline.
About their goals.
About their effort.
And about how they show up for others.

Summer makes it worse — distractions everywhere, and “taking a break” starts to feel like progress.

(may be guilty there…. and of course I took a long break after writing this weeks ago…..)

But if you want the second half of the year to look different, you need clarity.
Not motivation. Not excuses.
Clarity.

So here’s your mid-year audit.
Block out 20 minutes.
Be brutally honest.
Write it down.

You can’t fix what you refuse to face.

I know these may not completely relate to you perfectly, but I believe I have done a decent job at generalizing the questions. Feel free to edit them to fit your own life.

Let’s Begin.
