Time To Get Real

Purpose

I have the tendency to be incredibly hard on myself. I set standards for myself, and when I don't meet those standards, I tend to blame my lack of discipline, or my inability to think as quickly as I would like.

Sometimes I forget to just pause where I am, and be thankful that I've made it to this point. That I'm financially independant of friends and family. That my mind is good enough to write an entertaining story. I forget the struggle that's made me a strong, mentally sound person of discerning intellect.

By this time next year, I will have a new job, so I'm narrowing my focus, and digging my heels in where it counts. But I have to keep in my mind that whatever happens, I am not defined by my achievements, but by my purpose.
