I decided to make some small, yet major, changes in my life starting today.  The first change was to reintroduce myself to my love for reading good books.  I took my lunch break today and read a book entitled:  5: Where will you be in 5 years from today? by Dan Zadra.  I have read this book in the past but today it had a new meaning for me. I was very inspired by the messaging of the book.  Statements such as 'If you don't have a dream, how can you have a dream come true?' caused me to think about the dreams that I had buried deep inside me.  I decided to come up with my 'BAG' list (Big Audacious Goals).  I mean ... WHY NOT?  If the people in this book can achieve their goals, against many odds, then why can't I?  I have decided to stop wasting time and really move my life forward.  I want to leave a positive legacy behind for my son and his children.  I want my descendants to be proud of what I was able to accomplish!

So you may wonder, what is my BAG?  Well, actually, I have two:  1) To lose 100 more pounds in the next year; and 2) To enter and progress in the International Speech Contest for Toastmasters International (contests start in the Spring).  Oh ... and one more is that I want to finish a book I started writing a few years ago.  I read in this book where a man spent two hours each morning writing pieces of his book and was able to complete his book in small chunks.  Imagine that ... here I was trying to write an entire book in one weekend!  

Stay tuned for more as I make progress towards my BAGS.  What about you?  What are you going to do today to make your tomorrow better?  Get started now ... GO!
