Commitment Issues?

See, I have this problem. I struggle with following through. There are so many great things that I want to do in this life of mine. Why is it that I can't commit to them? Starting around middle school I've been inspired to make these "bucket lists". I'm really awesome at coming up with goals to complete. But, I'm a little lax in the checking off department. I'll give you an example. To the left you'll find the item on my list, and following is the reason why I haven't been check-marking at the high speed I initially intended. 


  • Lose weight & feel great!: well, the "healthy plan" lasts maybe a month, and then I'm back fueling my deprived body with nourishment of the sweet and fried sorts. 
  • Workout: I have good intentions, really. I do workout the recommended 30 minutes per day. Too bad I eat the calories I burn 25 seconds after sweating my butt off. 
  • Travel the world: Why must planes be so scary?
  • Have a real life fairy tale: Call me crazy, but I believe in true love. I believe it's a possibility for me. But I have this problem, where I struggle with opening up to people. 

This is just one example of my many "bucket lists". What I've realized, though, is happiness can't be measured by lists. True fulfillment comes with living in the moment and embracing the unknown. That's why this method just doesn't work for me. When it's all written down--all of these things that I want to do turn in to things I feel like I have to do. But before I totally recycled all of these lists, I wanted to work on one goal that I found on each list. COMMIT


The answer to my goal setting dilemma? Hmm.. start a blog. Commit to this one thing for one year. A blog documenting my real life happenings-- like I've always wanted to... just been too afraid to start. 'Till now.
