Update

Things have been going better, I feel that after 7 Habits things have just started to click into place a little bit more. I am starting to see how to plan things out a bit better and I feel like 90% of the big things that I plan tend to work out how I want them to. This is a huge change from where things have been in the past. I get more done, even stuff I didnt originally plan for gets done as well. 

I have started to save, I feel much better about having money, I would like to get to the place where I could have 5k in savings and then still have funds to do things. That way I have a nice safety net. I have been told to save money and at the same time pay more on my loans, but of which I am trying to do which can be rough. 

I am not sure what the next 5 months are going to bring and what I want to do and where I will end up. Which is one of the main reasons I am trying to save as much money as I can, I want to make sure I am still able to meet bills, and be ok if I end up on my own with nothing. 

I feel like this year will set up where I will end up and move, and hopefully I will find a relationship and friendships that will help me grow. There is more than I want to write, but I am not sure how to write about it just yet. 

Things I want to focus on is, setting up my financial safety net, a plan for what the next 5 months will bring, a place to live, good friendships, and possible relationships.

Influence and Concerns

I have come to a couple of conclusions.

1. No matter how many successful things I accomplish, there will still be those people who only focus on what I have not done right, or what I have failed at. I have started to realize that those people have started to matter less in my life, and I have started to give them less and less power over how they effect me.

2. Life is better, more full, and fun filled when I stop asking "why" all the time, and ask "why not?" I find that asking myself why not, instead of why helps me enjoy life much more.

I am glad that I have started to focus more on my influence areas and less on my concerns.
