1 Person Who Has Changed Your Life for the Better
1. one just doesnt cut it…there have been many ppl that have come into my life and left an impression in me, that have positively changed my life or just an aspect of it. from my old mentor andy greenwood who passed away, to my good friend Will who moved away, from my ex girlfriends to lifelong friends and co-workers. professors, teachers, elders, ppl you meet outside the library and talk for 45 mins, someone who called me at 4am a few years ago to speak to a different chris, the countless many that have extended their hand to help..even the littliest of action, the most minute effort can break w a v e s and speak volumes to someone’s life

thanks to the many that have come and gone and help be anything close of what i am today…

but really…raise your glasses high…to those who have helped in such little ways…that mean so much

The hunger died some because I felt I had reached my goal and so I continued blindly without setting up what will be the next supposed achievement. I stopped accepting freelance work for sometime, focused more on the social life I neglected in my college days and built this strong community of amazing individuals around me.

These friends come in all sorts of levels and categories from old friends, to acquaintances, to work friends and etc. They’re what I built my life around, not over achievement.

But, now that everything has stabilized, I’m comfortably where I need to be socially its time I focus back onto goals and aspirations. The things I should be doing my life.
This list reflects just that:

• Run and/or bike 3 times a week, no excuses
• Clean my place, simplify it some -  I have a lot of things, perhaps too many and its too much
• Launch CitizenConnelly and honestly chronicle life
• Take on more digital work where applicable, whether it is for me personally or paid
• Bible time – I grew up in a devoutly religious family and that is one part of my life that I need to get back on track; I’ve been lukewarm on this for too long.
• Prioritize better, list better -  From the start of the work day and on so I can truly accomplish what I set out to do (this list is built from a list I made last week, for example)
• Less time reading online during work hours – I swear, like most, that I have ADD but I need to learn to focus more

So this is the list for now, its not complete but then again…neither am I
