Learn to Better

Welcome to your new home for bettering yourself. My name is David. Sitting here in at my computer I am reminded of eighteen year old me finding out that I had Bi-polar disorder as well as PTSD.

This information turned my plan for life completely upside down. I was going to join the military, but couldn’t after learning of my diagnoses. I tried to go to college but due to poor sleep habits and not being on the medications I needed to be I had to drop out. The next step I took was trying to go into the work force. But while still trying to get medications worked out I couldn’t hold down a job. I was than lucky enough to get accepted for disability. I have been on that path for over the last fifteen years. Why than am I starting this blog now, now that I’ve been on disability for so long.

Well the answer is simple really.

I have learned a lot in these years. Now while I am not an expert in the subjects that I will be discussing. I am a learner right along with you. I am using this site to explain my insights and what I am learning to better myself. The insights I share I hope you take with honest criticism, if the advice resonates you than take it. If it doesn’t try to find the tidbits that do and develop them from there.

Developing yourself into the person you want to be is a personal path, one that you have to take the personal responsibly for. You can seek out advice and guides, but if you don’t apply them to your life, there will be no honest change in your life.

That is what I’m doing, I’m taking what I’m learning and trying to apply what I’m learning into my life so there will be honest and complete change.

A little about Me

I have been on this planet for over thirty years and in those thirty years it has not been an easy ride. I suffer from bi-polar disorder as well as PTSD.

For those thirty years I have not made the best decisions. I have made a million and one mistakes. And though I have had to learned that though life is difficult it is in that difficulty that growth is found. This growth is what I strive to reach. I struggle everyday, but as I sit here thinking on my life. I wouldn’t trade the struggle for anything else. With this struggle I have grown into the person I am today.

I still have a lot of growth to go. I am no where near where I want to be. And to be honest I don’t think I ever will be because when I reach my current growth goals I will raise them even higher and seek even more growth.

I am seeking always to grow. Grow mentally. Grow emotionally. Grow Socially. Grow Physically. It is the honest and sincere intention to grow in these areas.

There is several paths I want to pursue in this life. I want freedom. Freedom from fear. Freedom from excuses. Freedom from the inability to take personal responsibility. I want to take personal responsibility for the change I want in life.

What to Expect with this Site

I have to state this again, I am not an expert nor will I pretend to be. I am a learner and working towards applying the content I share with you in my life. I want to grow a community with you guys. We will grow together and share in a life we all can be proud of ourselves for.

This blog will discuss various topics but they will all have a similar effect to cause lasting change in my life and I hope yours.

Some topics that we will discuss will be; mental health, communication, habits, productivity, and personal development.

These are just some of the topics that I will explore and learn while writing this blog. I am obsessed with the pursuit of growth and I hope to help you become obsessed with the same. And no matter what your goals are for the future. The reason you haven’t reached them is you haven’t grown to the level that those goals require. Same for me.

I do hope that I never sound like I am lecturing you with my post. They will simply be my insights and lessons I have learned and am learning.
