Around this time, everyone is coming up with new year’s resolutions. Most people follow them for the first week or two of January, but then realizing how overwhelming it is to commit to something they’ve never done before. For me it will be no different. I’m committing to writing a weekly blog post for 2019. I’m not promising it’s going to be perfect. I’ll probably make spelling mistakes and ramble on about things that don’t make sense. In life, so many people wait for the perfect time to do everything. Guess what? The perfect time is never going to come, so start today.
So who am I anyway? My name is Angelo and I am from Pennsylvania. I’m twenty-four years old and don’t really know what I want to do with my life. Up until this point of my life, I’ve been a taker. I’ve spent so much time reading books and listening to podcasts from people much smarter than me. But all this time, I’ve never given of anything of value back to the universe. This year, I want to settle the score and give back.
It’s uncomfortable to try something having no idea what the outcome is going to be. Saying to do this for 2019 out loud has been scary. But all great things come from people who weren’t afraid to fail. Part of Theodore Roosevelt’s famous man in the arena quote says, “the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs; who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.” I have a resolution to move from the stands onto the playing field. Let’s see where this goes.
