A Declaration

A short while ago I participated in a wonderful conference, and our speaker talked about the steps to live a revolutionary life. In that speech he showed how to set a goal and accomplish it, as well as create and live a revolutionary life.
First, he said to Declare yourself; declare what you want to accomplish. Then we needed to Pledge ourselves to achieving that goal. Then we needed to Sacrifice in order to achieve it. We would then have to Fight off the people and things that would try and stop us. We would have to Govern Ourselves to get there. And, when we got there, we should Enjoy the Freedom.
He challenged us at the end of the speech to go home and declare a goal of ours which we could accomplish in one year, and if we could return to him a year later having completed that goal he would take the winners out to a Winner's Dinner and talk with us about our futures. His requirements for this declaration were that it be done in public and within a week of the conference.
So, today I want to declare my goal. Though it has been more than a week since the conference, I did declare it already to several people in my home school group within the time limit so I hope it counts.

I declare that I will sell 35,000 copies worth of short stories through Kindle Direct Publishing at $1 each in order to pay for a year of college.

So there.
I'm confident I can achieve the goal, I only need to market myself well and keep up my writing. I already have one book lined up to sell about freedom, I only need to hear some constructive criticism from my mentor.

I can do this.

Seriously Yours,
Josh
