jon_chaisson | Weekend Update Turns and Faces the Strange

As everyone knows, the hardest part of trying to change oneself is maintaining consistency. Staying on that diet, maintaining that positive attitude, focusing on that career goal. You forget about your plans for a little while and revert to your old habits. You get frustrated by the obstacles in your way. You doubt yourself and wonder if you've made the right decision. You find yourself sliding back into those old comfort zones when you should be avoiding them. You don't see improvement right away and wonder if this change is even working or if you're doing it right.

It's been just shy of a month since I decided to take some major steps in changing myself on various levels -- I started all this on the first of this month -- and yeah, I still need to remind myself there's a long way to go. Change definitely does not happen overnight, and a lot of it will be damn hard work. All I have to my arsenal is determination (or more to the point, a stubborn refusal to give up so easily) and the hope that I can see all of this through.

Anyway...still soldiering on.

Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend! :)
