38 years old today. Wow. Am I really that old? I don't feel old. Still, there are things in life that I've struggled with far too long that a person needs to deal with before too long: my health, my money. I think it's time that I take control. And I'm dedicating one year to doing it. Starting right now. This moment. It's always tomorrow for me. Tomorrow I'll eat better. Just this one purchase and then we'll focus on paying down debt. One candy bar won't hurt me.

But the reality is that you cannot control tomorrow. You can only control what you do right now. It's a simple statement but really a profound concept. I cannot change the yesterday. I cannot do anything tomorrow. The only thing I can control is right now this very moment. That realization changes everything.

That's where the name for this blog comes from. One year. 1 Moment. 1One. I'll be talking about my goals, how I'm trying to achieve them, tracking my progress and posting articles that I think are relevant. Some of it will be boring. Some will be (hopefully) thought provoking. But I hope it will keep me accountable and encourage others to join with me. I'm sure I'll eventually have a huge following and sign a book deal and be hugely popular and famous. Either that or I'll have 3 readers, including myself, my wife and my 1 year old son Cohen who keeps accidentally hitting the refresh button. My wife is no guarantee come to think of it.

But if you can, pop on over once in a while and cheer my successes and boo my failures. And if you really feel like it. Join me.
