New Year and New Stuffs


First things first, I'm now all moved in to my new place in San Francisco! It's nice to be out of boxes. I took some time off to unpack so I could get settled in more quickly. It feels so good to be here and the energy is so congruent with where I'm at in my life. Good friends, good times!

I read a book while I was away in Mexico called, "Your Best Year Yet." If you know me then you know I'm big in to goals and dreaming big. I felt this book is really great in that it is super simple to use and very effective. I never set New Year's goals for January 1st. I always do my goals at the beginning of February. I think it just helps me to separate myself from the massive failure and negative connotation that "New Years" goal setting can carry. I've already begun to think about 2009 and all the many great things I want to do, see and shoot for. When I get closer to sitting down I would love to share my thoughts and hear yours, too. Life is what we make it and I know 2009 is going to be a year of self discovery for me. I can feel it already as the last 1/4 of 2008 was just the beginning for me and it was/is completely amazing! It's good to be back and I'm so excited to get back to Animation Mentor tomorrow!

  2. Hey Bobby,
    You have great encouraging words and tips here all the time, I wish more people like you, so we wont waste time wallowing in self pity and being down, and instead Constantly challenge ourselves pushing past the limits and conquering goals and making new ones Rising, Elevating.

    I thought i was alone in this till i found this blog and didnt know there where others too so I've been more enthused.
    Thanks and rock on!

  3. hi bobby...firstly wishing you an awesome year ahead.

    i have always loved your very infectious enthusiasm and the way you look at life differently, each day motivating yourself(and others around you, like myself!) and making the best of everything !

    since quite sometime i am also looking at a lot of self-help, motivational stuff and i am amazed how with little time i devote to it so far, i can still feel a lot has changed within me!

    may be in future you can have a post about what kind of stuff you look at to keep yourself motivated, setting and achieving goals, discovering yourself and so on. it can be books, audio books, podcasts, articles and so on. and we can share what we read and refer to.

    this is one area which most of the people neglect until life forces them to look at it differently. i hope more and more people discover how they can discover themselves and the infinite possibilities that exist!

    cheers!

  6. G'day Bobby,

    I have just started AM...two weeks have passed by and all i can say is AM is pure AWESOMENESS....i am really enjoying it, learning a lot, being positive and meeting many new people....

    I have been a fan of your blog for a while now and can honestly say...you ROCK i like reading all your about all your thoughts and inspirations....especially your self help topics as i am a bit of a self help nut myself.

    I believe being positive and having dreams is the way to live and to always live your life for you. Your Encouraging words are a great help in keeping positive and staying focused...i know what i want to achieve this year and i am going for it.

    I wish you all the best for 2009 keep up the good work and i look forward to reading more of your posts.

    Rock On

    Rob
