Becoming Better.

Take a moment to recall the first time you drove your car to a party at your friend’s new apartment. You were probably relying heavily on your smartphone’s GPS navigation, furiously concentrating on turn-by-turn directions to guide you to the right location. The second and third time you traveled there, though, maybe the drive was a little easier. Before long, you could navigate without directions. Now, you can split your drive time between texting & driving and thinking about what you’re going to have for lunch tomorrow, and Hey, you’re there before you know it!

Without even realizing it, you were becoming better. In this case, you are becoming better at the skill of traveling to your friend’s house. A skill can be any particular ability: driving to your friend’s house, learning to tie your shoe or to ride a bike, playing a musical instrument, or even watching your favorite show on Netflix! Becoming better, then, can be defined as increasing (either consciously or unconsciously) your expertise of a particular skill.

WAIT, HOW AM I BECOMING BETTER BY WATCHING NETFLIX?

This blog is a place to share thoughts and ideas as we continue in our pursuit of becoming better. As many have said before me, in order to become better, we must first set goals.

My starting goals for this blog are as follows:

Help others (especially those of my generation) realize and grow their potential in every aspect of life.
Build a brand image for myself which extends beyond my “day job” and follows me throughout life.
Become an effective teacher of personal growth so as to better crystallize the material in my habits.
Establish motivation and accountability for myself, to establish and realize the ideal persona I seek to achieve.
Create a platform by which to network with other self-educators and share ideas.
Build momentum towards writing a book on the subject of personal growth.

Overall I am incredibly excited to find my voice through the world of blogging, and the only way to do that is to get started! Looking forward to taking this journey with you 🙂
