Not sure if the blog has to be about programming?
*This is not about programming or technology*

I am going to be using this blog to help you understand me, and also help me understand myself. Today I will be giving a little background. I have do not know any programming languages. Many may ask why i am here then? Well I have made it a goal to learn 2 programming languages.

I have always loved technology and wanted to learn a programming language, but have never took it upon myself to do it. I was more into other things. I am a recovering alcoholic and drug abuser. About a month ago I was hospitalized with problems to my pancreas. The problems were caused by excessive alcohol use. I decided that day I got out to stop my drinking and drug habit.

Recently I have found it continually getting harder and harder to stay away from these things. That is why I have decided to change my life. I have made a list of goals that I want to keep and can always use support. The list as of right now,

-Run 1 hour every day
-Lift 6 days a week
-Learn 2 programming languages
-Meditate 20 minutes a day

I plan on adding more. I will be updating my blog regularly with my progress. I meditated for the first time today, and I feel better about things. It was a relief to let go of the things on my mind.

    I will also be adding a quote to every blog i post that has helped me the. Today's quote,

    "Intelligent people know others.
    Enlightened people know themselves.
    You can conquer others with power,
    But it takes true strength to conquer yourself."
