Goals, Life, and Finding Yourself.

In the grand scheme of things we are all just skins suits wandering around trying to find our place in the beauty of this world. Maybe a bad analogy but I'm rolling with it. At times we find ourselves wrapped up in the uglies of this world and that's no way to find your place.

This year so far has been, well, interesting to say the least. Highs, lows, lefts, rights, and upside downs.a lot of things have come into focus the last few days and I'm finding my place. Actually refinding my place, probably not a word but it checks out.

Coming to the realization that, hey I'm Matt and I need to be Matt. Now there are many hats I wear but I need to focus on the good ones. I'm a thinker, builder, fabricator, engineer, machinist, philosopher, and a sometimes insightful sumbitch. That's who I am and that's who I need to be.

Sure there are things I'd like to do and things if like to be but being Matt is how I get to those things. Set a goal and work towards it. It's what I've done my entire life and that needs to be in the forefront. When life and the universe throws out a curve ball you can either smack it out of the park or let it hit you between the eyes. Swing with everything you have and knock that stuff out of the park.

Often times I find myself wrapped up in my own little bubble, my happy place, my sanctuary, and although it's nice, it keeps too much of reality at arms length. Well reality has a way of building up bigger than anything and when it comes swinging, you can get knocked out of the park. It happens to the best of us and we've just gotta pick ourselves up and learn from it.

Learning is the most viral thing there is, learn from the past so we don't make the same mistakes in the future. Everybody makes mistakes and acknowledging them, accepting them, and making sure they don't happen again is up to us and us alone. It's not a perfect world but it's the only one we've got, so just make the best of everything.

My therapist had to knock me around a bit this morning, why she insists on having sessions right away in the morning is beyond me. She's kinda brutal but at the same time, I need that, I need that like in the sand and someone to say.... hey don't fucking cross it. Boundaries are a trip but they are a necessity in life. I'm due for a post just about boundaries, so maybe when I get some good context about that.

I can be whatever I want to be in my life and it's my life to make sure I do the best I can. In the end it's my life to make what I want out of. Same goes for everyone else, set a goal, and work towards it. If it's completely out of reach, baby steps. Don't be afraid to start with a very small obtainable goal because once you reach that goal, the sky is the limit. Step by step, day by day, little by little, be who you want to be.

I am Matt and I'm an imperfect random, crazy guy that's making his own way through this world and that's enough for me. Be the best you for you and find your place, crush that goal of being who you want to be and the rest is magic.
