OK, so I know it's a little late for a new year's resolution however it's silly that you have to wait until the end of the year to make a dedication for the better.
I was inspired by an episode of Scrubs (Season 4, episode 14) with guest star Colin Ferrall who plays a lives-life-to-the-fullest Irish Guy who doesn't have any regrets or hold any grudges. It sparked something within me.

So lately, I've been really good with my life with going the extra mile and I've been feeling good about everything so I wanted to articulate these feelings. What I've come up with is "Carpe Diem + 1".
The best metaphor I can find for it is in basketball. It's called "and one" and it's where as you are trying to score and you get fouled however you will the ball into the hoop. In layman's terms, it means that through adversary, you push your way through and as a result, you are rewarded an additional chance to score.
So I want to continue to do at least one thing more for myself everyday outside of my job. So whether it's blogging, calling a friend, making an additional investment, saving that extra dollar, working out for 15 minutes or all of the above. I want to squeeze that much more out of my day.
Carpe Diem + 1 is placing my head on my pillow and instantly passing out. It's taking one step closer to realizing my dreams. It's about having that piece of mind that you have options and that I don't have to stress anymore. Most importantly, Carpe Diem +1 is me going into life effecting everything and everyone around me rather than the other way around.
Live.
