Stop Trying
Yay! It’s 2021! Right now, everyone is hyped up on “New Year New Me,” and New Year Resolutions.
In a month, this will die down.
It may be time to STOP TRYING.
I don’t mean be lazy. No, focus on what is important to you.
If you would like to be healthier and have more energy, cut out the sugar and exercise. Start with giving up that one sweet treat you love, like sodas or cookies. Or, try stretching and walking in the mornings. Build some momentum and add to it.
The other part is finding your niche. If you have dreams and goals, stay true to what you are passionate and naturally skilled at.
I have a recent example.
From July 2020 to December 2020, I was attending online classes at Western Governors University to pursue my Bachelors. Hey, I have the GI Bill right? I might as well use it. Here’s the thing. I DO NOT like college. It does not fit my learning style one bit. I love to read and learn, but I struggle with traditional college education.
When deciding whether, I would continue, into the new year, I thought about this. I can continue to build skills for financial freedom, and pursue my creative outlets, or I can be stressed and consumed with college. It was a tough choice :). I withdrew and now I am back to blogging, spending more time with my family and learning Technical Analysis for Swing/Day Trading.
Know your strengths and weaknesses. Focus on your strengths and passions. Stop trying to be great at your weaknesses.
