Daily writing prompt… (Bill)

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

I’d say the hardest goal that I’ve ever set for myself, would’ve occurred in April 1998.

I was a red hot mess, making an abundance of poor choices, indulging in things that were unhealthy and that resulted in failed relationships. Not to mention it was taking a physical toll on my body.

One day I woke up, looked myself in the mirror and decided that I did not like the person looking back at me and I had to make a change.

So that’s exactly what I did!

I stopped hanging around the people who I was making the poor life choices with. I vacated my living arrangement, and moved to a small mountain community. I took what savings I had, borrowed a little bit from my parents and opened up a little gift shop. I focused on getting good sleep, eating good food, breathing fresh air and I exercised by hiking.

I spent the summer and early fall living in this small mountain community. It was a fantastic experience. From that point forward, April 22, 1998, I have never looked back.
