Inspired.

   I've woken up the past couple days with this need burning inside of myself to find some change. This cycle that I've become accustomed to, although safe is not much of a life at all. I've allowed my anxiety to take the wheel and direct me right into this concrete wall. I suppose the first step in changing this is admitting that I've allowed myself to get to this level of comfortable. I need to stop. I need to start chasing goals, because my life needs to be so much more spectacular than I've been leading.
   Visiting the city only fired up my thirst to live there more. I WILL live there. I've decided to keep a personal goal journal, in which I write every night to ensure that I am at least working on achieving some of the goals I've set for myself. My goals are as follows:
1. Exercise, and get down to a healthier weight.
2. Find a good job.
3. Get published
4. Save up money for a year or more.
5. After a year search for a job in the city.
6. Find a place and move there.
All of these goals can be achieved by taking small steps. I've always been the type to look at the whole picture, and if I couldn't get there in one jump, I would lose interest. I'm going to challenge myself with smaller stepping stones to ensure that I fulfill each goal successfully, with little room for failure.
    One step I took towards achieving a goal today was to exercise, and make a healthy dinner for my family. Tomorrow I plan on increasing my amount of exercise and spending some time outside (if the weather agrees). I'm feeling inspired, and it's a great feeling to have.
