Last year, I felt more lost than I had in a long time. It wasn’t my first time, of course, but this time I had a lot more uncertainty. Over the last several years, I went through quite a few tough situations, and they just kept compounding. Like the old saying goes "When it rains in pours". At one point it all became overwhelming. I lost focus, got distracted, and my foundation became rocky.

I’ve always been passionate about self-improvement and becoming the best version of myself, but I had gotten so thrown off by life’s curveballs that I started focusing more on career goals and made my life goals an afterthought.

By the end of last year, I was pretty upset with myself for not having a better life and not being very happy internally. I was extremely frustrated, but I took a deeper look at why I was feeling this way. I accepted that I needed to improve many small habits, behaviors, and alter my outlook. I set new goals for my personal life and told myself that this year I would attract and earn the better life I wanted.

As I’ve recalibrated my thinking and refocused on my personal growth, better and more fulfilling things have come into my life. Though life still does its thing and can have difficult moments,  overall, I feel happier than I have in a long time. This shift takes work, but it’s worth it. It’s already had positive effects on my  personal life, my career, my art… literally everything. I’m excited for the future and what’s to come.

Hopefully sharing this can help someone else out there who may be lost or trying to find their way.
