I have pretty much always blogged, since blogging was a thing. First there was xanga, where I just talked about what was going on in my life. Then three successive blogspot blogs-- one where I complained about things that pissed me off, one about ways I was trying to improve my life, and one about working on passing the CPA exam.
I came across this quote somewhere in the middle (I hope!) of my CPA exam journey, and it really spoke to me:
"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin – real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way." - Alfred d'Souza
With my last two blogs I have been so focused on the future. What can I do in the future, how will my future look, what am I doing today to make the future better, how can I overcome [obstacle du jour] so that I can [goal du jour], blah blah blah.
With this blog, I want to focus on today, because today is real life, even more than tomorrow is.
