Understanding your goals to help you achieve them.
Perseverance vs. Determination
What's the difference? Obviously, consistent and temporary are complete opposite terms. But, what's the difference between perseverance and determination? In technical terms, perseverance is considered "steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success," and determination is considered "firm or fixed intention."

Reach Your Goals
Every day I live by the list method in order to complete my goals both daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. Without a list I wouldn’t know what to do with myself but then feel regret and disappointment in myself because I forgot to get something done.

Things You Should Do in Your 20s
Your 20s can be some really weird years. They're the years where you're trying to learn how to be an adult, but you don't quite know how to be an adult yet. It can be very easy to get caught up in trying to get your entire future figured out that you stop being you, and you stop trying to better yourself. Try doing a handful of these things while you're still in your 20s to remember that you're still human, and it's okay to have fun!

How to Be a PolyInnovator
Now this is more of a mix of me telling you how to become one, and me telling myself as well. Meaning I am still not there, this is an outline of sorts, a rough draft, a business plan, or some sort of synergy in between.

Distracted
He has been talking about distraction. What is a distraction? Is someone blowing horns around him? Is someone tapping their foot against his desk? Maybe he’s doing that annoying leg jiggling thing. Am I a distraction? Do I have distractions? When was the last time I’d written something and not edited everything I was thinking. Even just then, I had to make myself resurface a thought, so that I wrote it and didn’t ignore it.

A Do-Over
Imagine you find a cute little container in a thrift or antique shop, it’s got a little smudge on the side of it, so you buff it out with the hem of your shirt, and suddenly the world around you stops and stands stills. A big puff of purple smoke pops out, and a strange Robin Williams looking dude with gold bands around his hands offers you one chance at a do over. What would you do-over? Which single decision would you change?

Conquering My Fears 2
It all started when I was 8-years-old. My school district was holding a writing contest where one person from each school would be chosen to have their story published and to go in front of all the district leaders. I was the student chosen from my school. The story was about a talking dog named Spot. At eight, you can imagine it was not the best piece of writing in the world but it gave me the writing bug and for the next ten years I wrote and wrote and got straight A's on almost every paper and essay I turned in. I was even accepted to a journalism program at the local college and planned to travel the world.

How to Bathe a Cat
Everyone at one point in their life, will be faced with a task that seems insurmountable. Whether it be graduating college, separating two flat pieces of a lego, or even bathing an evil, water-hating cat; for any problem though , there is almost always the same set of solutions. You have to have a plan of action, have the right tools, practice if you need to, and if you still can’t do it, try again.

90 Day Challenge
Self Care Challenge In October, some of my friends from work started a book club, and we started reading Rachel Hollis's Girl, Wash Your Face. Haven't read it? Go download it for your Kindle right now, or order it on amazon. It will be here in two days. Seriously, it's that good. We agreed to read two chapters per week for book club, but I read a chapter a day and had to stop myself from going on. It's funny, true and offered me exactly the kind of advice I was needing. As we began reading her book we discovered (only one day late) the 90 day challenge. The premise of the 90 day challenge is that we don't have to wait until the new year to make our lives better. Rather than always putting it off until January/Monday/the first of the month/after the holidays/etc., you should start now. Rachel Hollis challenged us (completely impersonally—through the internet) to make five promises to ourselves each day, and keep them. So many of us had never prioritized our own self-care before—not really. And so the idea of making a promise to ourselves was completely foreign—not to mention keeping it! So for the last 90 days of the year (October-December) we made a promise to ourselves to keep five promises everyday.

Conquering My Fears
This week I stepped completely out of my comfort zone in search of myself and some place to belong. I have always had confidence issues and felt lost. I have always had friends, some of which I consider family, but my "tribes" died off a long time ago. The high school tribe moved onto college and new adventures. My "punk" tribe divided up and grew apart as we started families and careers away from the area. I love my friends, but I crave a place to really belong. With all of my weird and awkward ways, my tattoos and bright blue hair, I want to find the place where I belong.
