Okay, I'm just gonna relax with this blog. I read back over my first three posts and while not incredibly boring they just aren't me. Blogging is more of a personal form of communication and what I have written here so far has been more just giving out information. If that is the kind of style you prefer then check out the Articles page of my website, but if you want the real me, then stick around.

So, why have I decided to get aggressive with success? I have never been one to try very hard. I push deadlines to the last possible second (or beyond if I can get away with it.) I claim to "work better under pressure", but truthfully, I just am slow to get started so I just don't do anything. I procrastinate, and then I push myself, and regret every minute I spent putting things off.

I have managed to pull off some amazing projects in my life. My junior year of high school I was assigned a term paper. It was assigned the very first day of class in the fall and was due sometime in the second semester. I think it was around February. I picked my topic in time, but then I did NOTHING on the project until the week that it was due! I crammed so much knowledge about FDR and the Great Depression into my brain I could have written hundreds of pages on the subject. I only needed 30 and I completed it on the day it was due. The only problem was that the paper was due during the class period in which I actually had American History--which just happened to be 2nd period for me. I didn't finish mine until lunchtime so I turned it in after 5th hour. The penalty was that I would be docked one grade level for every day it was late. I received my grade a few weeks later--a B+! It could have been an A+, but I chose not to be aggeressive.

That was many years ago. And I could give you way too many examples of the same kind of stuff in my life. I am tired of just getting by. Of waiting until things are out of control before I take a step to gain some order in my life. Of letting things happen to me instead of MAKING things happen. I have decided to take action. To plan and then actually follow through. I will succeed! Will you join me?

I welcome your comments!
