Life Begins at 31

In life have you ever felt like your seemingly walking around in oblivion and not knowing where you are going?

Well that's exactly what I have been doing for 31 years of life.  Seemingly just going on with life and not stopping to disect where this life leading me. 

I ask questions like....

When will I feel comfortable in my own skin?  Will I ever make a major contribution to the world?

My name is Gregory Robert Volle and this is my first attempt at a no holds barred blog.  I am no saint and certainly not a scholar.  I am a mortal, a human being, a do-gooder, and a horrible run-on sentencer.

I wanted to start a blog in hopes of reshaping my life in the  that I would like it to go.  This will be candid and gut-wrenching.  A true daily account of can life begin at 31?  To achieve the goals I thought were all but gone.  These are my thoughts, my opinions, and a non-judgement blog.  Just putting words out into the universe.

I want it to be an authentic up to the day account of what's going on and an outlet for others to comment, be encouraged, and know that rockbottom doesn't mean rockbottom.

What does rockbottom mean:

31 years of age:

Obese

A smoker.

Current Savings and Checkbook 0 dollars.

Living paycheck to paycheck.

No college degree.

Lackluster Christian.

This blog is a template to ask the question; Is it possible that with hard work, tenacity, a sense of humor, and God for life to truly begin at 31? Something I haven't really done in life.  I've bought into the materialism, worldly ways of thinking.  I guess I will find out as I committ to this 24/7/365 journey.

Please enjoy the ride it's going to be curvy, bumpy, many twists and turns, but hopefully overall effective.

So in 365 Days I would like to have lost 40 pounds, not be a smoker, have $10000 in savings, enrolled in a community college to attain my bachelors degree and working on a better relationship with God.

Sounds like a lot to take on, well I am doing all of it starting at the stroke of midnight.  No more smoking, no more frivilous eating, no more out of control spending, and more dedication to achieving my goals.

I hope you will join me......this is going to be HELL, but I think ultimately a whole lot of fun.
