When you are through changing, you are through.
-Bruce Barton
I started Choice of Action one year ago. Over the last year I have tried using this blog to strike a balance of being informative for others while also being a personal tool for improvement. Looking back, I can say that it has unquestionably succeeded in helping me with my own goals. I can only hope that some of the advise was useful for others.
For me, the last year has been highlighted by anticipation for big life changes. Over the next month I will be quitting my job, getting married and starting law school. These are all things that I have been planning for quite a while so the change is not really shocking. Yet it is very difficult to stay in the moment with all of this on my mind.
I used to think of myself as someone who was not exactly comfortable with a lot of change. I now think it is more true that I am just more comfortable (and generally more successful) in familiar situations. When placed in new settings I prefer to assess, survey and see how things work on their own before acting. I anticipate I will do the same thing when I start law school, though the time to analyze will need to be short as I attempt to balance a big workload with family life.
I am not exactly sure how this blog will look in the future. Anyone who has occasionally visited it will have noticed that I stopped posting regularly months ago. The biggest success of the blog has been maintaining my workout log for over 6 months. Updating the log has provided both motivation to work out and a sense of accomplishment in looking back. I plan on continuing to post my workouts. I am also considering posting a similar log in connection with my law school studying.
Moving forward with my life I remain steadfastly excited for the future. Excited both for the beginning of a new career and for new beginnings with the woman of my dreams. Amidst years of questioning and analyzing what career to pursue, a stabilizing force in my life has been my future wife, for whom I have never doubted my pursuit.
