So we are over a week into the new year and this is my first blog post of the year. I waited on purpose. The reason why I waited is because I wanted the hype to be over.

I think this year the Christmas/new year hype ended faster for me. There is nothing wrong with some Christmas cheer and new year optimism. You have to be like a surfer and ride the wave knowing the general  hype is going to end. Also you have to be able to navigate the killjoys who always seem to react negatively to the collective upbeat hype as well. Shout out to the grinches. Like I said around Christmas, no grinch won't kill my vibe, grinch won't kill my vibe haha!

I use this period to be thankful for the year, reflect on it, personally assess where I am at and get my mind right for the year. I also use this period to write things down that I want to achieve. I try to break it down into steps because as much as it is good to have a good general vision for inspiration only taking those small steps towards it will make it happen.

I think the theme for me that is developing is I need to take radical steps in my personal development and growth. I really can't be easy on myself, I have to do what I have to do and that is my mindset now more than ever before. It is evolve or be extinct, change or die, adapt or be irrelevant, grow or be stagnant. That is me generally.

To reflect how I feel this is a poem I wrote called R.I.O.T which is an acronym for Radical Invasion Of Truth. It is my whole internal attitude right now. Inside me I am feeling a sense of urgency and I want to move forward! Much success and breakthroughs to you this year. Let's get to it!
