12/31/2007 - As 2007 Comes to a close, I look at the Challenges I face in 2008

2007 has been an interesting year for sure. It was a year where My Addictions faced ups and downs and I went in and out of Recovery, a year where my BPD has taken on new heights and Taken me to very dark places personally, even more so that all those younger years I cried many nights over my shyness and inability to meet Girls. I have questioned myself and my Life, who I am and where I am going all in these past 12 months.. But with the bad comes the Good. I saw my Red Sox Win yet another Title, and as we speak My Patriots are on the brink of yet another themselves. I was approved for Social Security and have had the opportunity to Travel and meet an Amazing Girl, be accepted into her Family and have a Child on the way. I have good friends and special people in my Life, I however also continue to suffer emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually as well as of course Financially. Let"s Hope that this past year can be one that I learn from and I can look forward to 2008 which is vastly approaching.

What Challenges Do I face Going Into 2008 ?

1. I face the challenge of overcoming my personal stuggles with BPD, Drug and Alcohol addictions, and achiving Inner peace. I must seek treatment consistently and learn about my Illnesses and take steps to make progress. I cannot change how I feel but I can ( I think ) Change how I react to those feelings, won"t be easy but it is possible.

2. I face the challenge of Getting a Computer so that I can write from Home, perfect and improve my writing and Photography andpossibly start some kind of freelance career in those areas to Improve my Finances, Also the challenge of getting back into school and Moving towards the goal and dream of being a Doctor.

3. I also face the challenge of Finding ways that I can be of service to the World, organizing my Activist activities in the issues I care about and making headway in those areas, Find ways to increase my Creativity and Reach out to those in need and causes I fight for.

4. This goes along with challenge number one but It is of great Importance that I continue to discover who I am, what I stand for, and have some sort of Constancy and Idenity in my life and within me.

There are many challenges that I face not only in 2008 but for the rest of my Life, I face the challenge not to let my BPD and other problems get the better of me and keep me down, I face the obstacles that are in front of me everyday and The Ability to overcome these adversities and finally stand on my two feet and be a man, not a boy is the Ultimate Challenge. The ability to not let anything nor anyone stand in my way of Happiness and success, especially Myself.

I listed four unique Challenges ahead of me in 2008, it is not as easy as I stated and yes, there are and always will be many more ahead of me but the Key is to Not give up, keep fighting not only for myself but for anyone and everyone who is consumed by this Devastating and possibly deadly Illness.

Happy New Year and may It be Your Best One Yet !
