New Year, New Start

Inspired by an iPhone wallpaper my good friend Spencer Albers published earlier this morning, I gave my entire online presence a new look today. I am done with my blue/white color scheme and am going with my love for Sunflower Orange with white/black. Hopefully my friends at Wartburg enjoy the nod…as I am definitely Being Orange in 2012. Here’s to Big things in the New Year.

Keep the hustle alive and never settle for less than your dreams.

Goals for 2012

Posted on December 12th, 2011

I like goals. I find when I write something down or publicly announce that I’m setting a goal it keeps me accountable. Something special happens when you say “I will ________!” With the new year close by, I am planing ahead. Two areas I am committed to improving in 2012 are:

Staying in better touch with my closest friends. I fail at this and it needs to change.
Following my heart and trusting my gut. Too often I trust society and it never pans out. I need to have more faith and trust that feeling that lingers deep within my heart.

If you’re reading this, you can keep me accountable. Feel free to call me out on these areas and ask how it’s going.

What goals are you planning for 2012?

I really appreciate everyone that takes time out of their day to read this blog. Thank you so much.

Mental Capacity

While talking to one of my coworkers today, we concluded that everything in life stems from a person’s ability to push their mental capacity. Think about these situations:

Working out (running, lifting, biking): Your brain is saying “you can do it” but your body is telling you to “stop”.
Writing: Your “out of ideas”…or you’re just not use to writing that much content in one day.
Time: You “can’t get up that early…” or your mind is stuck in the pattern of whatever time you usually get up.

If you expand your mental capacity will you be more productive? I’d love to hear your thoughts… In the meantime, I’ll deep-dive my thinking on this topic… It’s interesting!
