23 (B-Day)

23.. Wow! Where does the time go? Though part of me is kind of freaked out about how fast time is passing by, the other part is excited to greet 23. I've declared this year to be the year of my transition. Now what it is I am transitioning into exactly, is still a mystery; I am still working on trying to figure that out lol. But I do know that I don't want to be delayed by not acting. Sitting around waiting on my epiphany is not going to cut it anymore. I want to practice the mantra of "DOING" rather than just talking about it. The key to getting any of my ideas to come to fruition is to act. Yes, it is definitely easier said than done, but at some point we all have to learn to let go of the excuses right?
Especially when at the end of the day we are the only ones we can truly hold accountable. I want to use this year to fully transition into the person I see myself being. I'm letting go of the distractions and unwillingness, and trading them in for discipline and inspiration. What are some of the self improvements you've been wanting to make, but haven't yet? Below is a list of 23 things I want to practice this year to grow into the person I know I was purposefully designed to be. If you can relate, share your personal growth list in the comments section. I'd love to share in your journey!
