This is a blog about changing bad habits, forming new ones, and believing that goals are more easily achieved when you share them with others. All you need is one good friend, or at least another motivated person, to keep you on track. What do you want to achieve this month? Finally cleaning that garage? Going out for that dream job? Getting in shape? Finishing that book you've been reading for a year? Writing a book? Or maybe just remembering to eat breakfast every day. The more specific the better. Make a list of Five Things, share it with a friend, and challenge each other to complete it! My friend Kit and I are tackling new projects monthly - join us, and tell a friend! =-)

The Journey of a Thousand Miles...

...begins with a single step.
-Lao Tzu

Or at least a test run, to see if the journey's even possible. I want to believe I can change my habits by forming new ones, which is why I came up with the Tell a Friend project to force myself to do good things regularly, like working out and cleaning house. But will it really change me?

I mean, Thomas Jefferson dashed my dreams of personal change years ago when I read a quote from him saying, "It is while we are young that the habit of industry is formed. If not then, it never is afterwards." Shoot. Guess I missed that boat... but I'm not exactly looking to be president. I just want to do my job well, stay healthy, get a better job, and get a move on my life ambitions. And I'm not exactly getting younger here. Let's see... 363 days and counting down to my 30th birthday. Maybe I'm still "young" enough to form some real Jeffersonian habits...

So what next? The first step! (Which for you, is to read on).
