10 Commitments, 100 Discoveries: #10 – Me, Myself and I
Hi, I’m a self proclaimed commitment-phobe. But, I’m also one that is working very hard to change. Honestly, it’s one of my toughest struggles. But, I am proud to say it is one that I am chipping away at slowly but surely. One day, when I tell my kids of my fear of commitment they will just laugh and say, “No way, not you!”
With the commitment, 1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries, I’m working to show myself that commitments are like trains; it doesn’t matter where they’re going. What matters is deciding to get on. Discoveries “#60-69″ are about commitments and plans. This post is part of that project. You can see all 10 commitments here and the entire project here. Focus on the plans, I sure am!
If you glanced at the archives of this project, you’d see that I’m a few short – 20 to be exact. A year ago, before starting this project, I would have asked myself, “Where did I go wrong?” I would have beaten myself up for not writing exactly 100 posts. But, the me today? Well, this girl, looks back and sees an incredible journey filled with amazing experiences, cherished memories and life-long lessons. She sees the bigger picture vs. the one on the surface.
Admittedly, with some of the changes this year brought, I was a little too wrapped up in life to write about it. I also decided that writing about some things were a tad boring, like my original plan to trial 10 different beers. I think I might have done that a few times over with my newfound love for beerfests 
And, there were a few, like Paintball, a new tattoo and Karaoke where the timing never quite worked in my favor. Those three, by the way, are still in the works!
Yet, I’m still a few short. Maybe I did it on purpose. Maybe being a few short gives me an excuse to never stop doing what this project helped teach me – to live passionately.
Upon a woman’s death, the Greeks didn’t write obituaries. Instead, they only asked one question, “Did she have passion?” This project was one of passion, one that I will continue to live out for many years to come.
