This is the one of many, many posts in a series that I am going to call “Goal Making Repetition”. There will be some regularity to these posts but I am also going to be continuing my “Life with out Dad” series of posts as well as some out of cycle posts that are not necessarily part of a series.
One year ago today, a pair of events that I regret occurred! The first was a disagreement with my mom which ended with me making a smart aleck remark and two weeks later moving out of the house for eight months to create boundaries that needed to be set between my mom and I. I will not get into the details of the argument, since I do not even remember what the argument was about; What I will say though is that there were a lot of ifs involved in the argument.
The other situation I put myself involved school and has found me back at DePaul this fall taking two more classes of which I only NEED one to graduate. While I do remember the details of this situation, I will not share them and I will say that this situation also involves a lot of ifs.
These two situations have led me to another goal that I am going to set for myself for the coming months… that is to cut the word IF out of my vocabulary. No more ifs… If is a loaded word and it leads to a lot of questions. If is all about a domino effect, one question leads to many potential questions depending how the first one was answered.
I am starting a business; there is no longer any excuse I should say “if i have this” or “if I make x amount of money” I will make enough money to support myself, and thats that.
From this day forward, I will say if one less time per day until I am not saying it anymore!
