I’m feeling great this morning, and I want to continue to feel great throughout the day. I don’t know why, but I get bogged down mid day and feel like I’m alwayssss tired. I need to remember the basics of just taking care of myself and trying to be happier.
On a more detailed note. It’s time I set some goals. I’ve never really done this, but I think it’s important I actually strive to achieve something for once.
1. I want to run 1,000 miles in 2016. I have no idea if that’s a lot or not so much, but I want to do that.
2. I want to run a marathon this year. This IS the year. Stop being a bitch kyle.
3. I want to achieve my goal of posting 366 videos (one for everyday) in 2016 on my YouTube channel.
4. I want to make a video I’m really proud of. I love the daily vlogs, I really do, but I want to do one video that I put hours and hours into that I would be proud to show anyone.
5. I want to be paid for something I do creatively. This is probably the most ambitious thing I’m saying out loud, and I’m doing that for a reason. I am fooling myself if I think I’ve been ambitious before. It’s time to actually push myself. Whether it’s a video I get paid to edit, or a sponsor, or something with photography, I want to take a step in the direction of doing what I love as “work”.
So this was two years ago.
I made 170ish videos in 2016 for YouTube. Which is insane when I think about it, and it’s one of the things I treasure most. I have so much of my life documented that year and I can go back and relive those memories
I didn’t run a lot that year. 2016 was hard, but also fun!
Fast forward more than two years to now, August 2018, and I’m getting to where 2016 me wanted me to be.
I’m making money from YouTube (what?!), and I’ve never been happier with what I’m creating and putting out into the world. Somehow someway all the hours of editing and trying different things have gotten me to where I am now, and it’s been wild.
The running thing is still kicking my butt, but that’s because I play too many hours of video games.
I’m happy I’m seeing this post from a couple years back and being able to say hey! I’ve half gotten to where I want to be! I’m not where I want to be 100%, but I’ve made significant strides, and that makes me truly happy.
