Exceptional Experience

Continuing my path of Carpe diem for 2005, I got myself VIP tickets to see Duran Duran here in Austin. My sister said it best, "you can afford to do it. I would do it if I had the chance like that to see and possibly meet Bon Jovi." (she's a big Bon Jovi fan).

Macworld Expo (Jan 10-14)

As part of my desire to be more spontaneous, I've decided to send myself off to San Francisco for Macworld. The trip is in three days. When I asked myself why I wasn't going, I didn't have a good reason. So the answer was simple -- then go.

2005

As I begin this new year, I wonder to myself "Just what is in store for me?"

I've purposefully put myself outside of my comfort zone. The intention is plain and simple -- to learn, to grow. Only by venturing out into the uncomfortable zone can I ever hope to grow. Will the experiment work? I guess we'll see.

I do see 2005 as a year of learning:

Learning more about who I am, what makes me tick.
Learning what my passions are, both personal and socially.
Learning the art of self discipline.
Learning how to become comfortable in the uncomfortable.

This is nothing new. I'm not trying to claim that I'm breaking some new ground. Rather I think it's just my own point of discovery. I feel like I'm in school again, the school of self discovery.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnggg! School's in session.
