Digging myself out...

My feet are beginning to settle in this mud and if I don't dig myself out real soon, I just might get myself stuck. And believe me, that's the last thing I want to do. That's how I feel about some aspects of life right now. Particularly with work.

I have worked at REI for just over a year now. And don't get me wrong there are a ton of great perks to the job. However, I feel like it could be a black hole. The people are great, the benefits are great; but I don't feel passionate about my work and have no desire to progress in the retail world. It's so easy to stay I am discovering when things are "mediocre" and relatively easy.

I don't want to live a mediocre life, and find myself getting pulled deeper into the mud. Eventually, I'll be living under a rock. Rather, I want to stand upon a rock with the expansive world lying before me.

I need to live more productively and more proactively. I know in the past lists have helped me organize and follow through with my goals. So here is my new list to fufill my path of self progression.
1. Discover my passion. Live it.
2. Volunteer.
3. Actively seek new opportunities.
4. Be on the computer less.
5. Get rid of my clutter.
6. Yoga with intention.
7. Read and write more.
8. More improv.
9. Balance work and play.
10. Go AND GET IT.
