view member journals

Here I am. At the beginning of a new adventure, Journalling. Who would have thought it? For me this presents a challenge to my usual way of thinking and a change in the way I live my life. An introspective look at my reality with the view to charting my path for the future. My�objectives for this�matter�are

1. Discipline is a key component of journalling. Will I be able to keep up the habit. I have so many nice ideas but I oftentimes fail to follow through on them. The discipline I will need to journal allows me a starting point to curing this most annoying character trait. Hopefully I will have on me can spill over in other aspects of my life.
2. Taking time out of each day to chronicle my thoughts. Ideas usually come to me when I slow down. Unfortunately I live a hustle and bustle life which is sometimes by choice and other times�by design. As�a result I tend to react to situations rather than�plan for them. Journalling should help me to think more clearly and plan rather than react.
3. I want to improve my writing skills. And the only way to do this is practice. As the saying goes practice makes perfect. I have excellent oratory skills�but only�moderate to good�writing skills.�When I write for some reason it takes a while to get my thoughts down on paper in the way I want to say it and I spend a lot of time editing.�The sad thing is that if it were a speech�it would not take as long.�By journalling i will be able to practice this skill so that I can excel in this area as well.
4. Accountability!! By writing things down I keep a record of what I have promised myself. Are my actions corresponding to my goals? Am I getting closer to my goals or am I meandering along through life carried by currents around me. It is time for a change.
