Though two weeks of summer have already passed, I have not yet been able to greet it with open arms just yet. After many days it finally feels so good to be back on the desk on this bright and sunny afternoon as I am filled with so many emotions while writing this blog. There are many mixed emotions of both joy for it being the summer after a tough year and regret of not being connected with you all through my blogs and posts over the last couple of months, but I am here today and that is what matters. I finally finished 10th grade and am now going to 11th grade which I can tell will already be tough.

The last couple of weeks before summer break were testing me in many ways and my patience was depleting along with my desire to achieve something in life. When things go wrong, we try to find blame in others and the list goes on and on. One thing that was clear is once we get on a negative path there is no end until some third force comes and truly forces us to get our head clear and set it back on the right path. I was blessed to have that and with the support of all of you, my teachers, friends, family, and my biggest motivation my little sister Keyaa I was able to plow through what I needed to get done and am finally here today with the feeling of achievement and ready to reflect on the past to project on the future.

This summer I want to see what I can do differently so the words I write have more meaning in my life rather than someone saying to me when we meet, “Hi Anuj proud of you, you write well.” I love when I get positive comments and acknowledgment of my writing, but I want my words to become more of a reflection of my daily actions. I have been blessed to have such a good foundation and though I have learned so much, the key is in practicing it. I took this past week to get back on task by adding on to my Energy Drive and reading through some of my past blogs as they say to practice before you preach. The one blog that popped out to me was that 7 – 1 = 0 as that is what I need to practice the most.

I can use your help by reminding me if I get off track again. The habit needs to be formed on behavior that helps keep your head straight and focused in your own lane. Recently I came across the website by Christine D’Ercole where she talks about the phrase “I Am, I Can, I Will, I Do.” This is so true and one thing I have learned there is that there is a force willing to help but for it to do so, one needs to take the first step, to commit. When one commits to a purpose, they are only then able to convert me into we and the higher force says that we commit, and it never lets go of their side.

This summer I want to commit to the purpose of spreading positive energy through the Atomic Energy Drive and I need your help as I do not want to stop anymore, not even for a day, so please remind me, push me, and let me know if you do not find a daily post from me as I Am, I Can, I Will, I Do. I am hoping that people join me in this journey of spreading energy and help us commit together so We Are, We Can, We Will, We Do Together. I just wanted to end my saying thank you to all of you who have helped me and supported me through these challenging times, and I am looking forward to being connected with each one of you this summer as I work towards building new habits and growing my connection with the heart along with the intellectual mind.
