Something new for the people...

In my never-ending effort to improve myself and find some (temporal) direction in my life, I have stumbled across the following blog: Radical Mutual-Improvement.  One of the features that they are working on right now is "101 Exercises For Amplifying Your Life in a Happy and Healthy Way, For the Greatest Good of All, and With Perfect Timing."  (Just called 101 Exercises from here on out, for the sake of brevity.)

Exercise #1 is "Develop a Personal Mantra."  I've never really done anything like this before -- always thought it was a Stuart Smalley sort of thing.  But I'm going to try it.  My main concern with this is it developing into OCD or something like that.  But I wouldn't mind having a slogan, and working towards goals and things like that.

My mantra is going to be, "I will own a restaurant in 7 years."  The effects of this is that it will supposedly open my subconscious up to observations I otherwise would have missed since I'm not focusing on it.  Anyway, that will help me as I formulate a game plan to achieve my goal.  More updates as I do the subsequent exercises listed on the blog.  There are also articles on the blog, as well. 

It will be interesting to see what comes of this.  Of course, I will have to avoid the major pitfall I will be facing as I carry this out:  becoming a self-obsessed a**hole.  But if I work hard on my work-life balance and focus on becoming the most productive person I can be as well as maintaining good family relationships and church responsibilities, that will be nothing but a good thing, right?  Right?
