2012 Goals

I feel like by calling them goals instead of resolutions they are more attainable.  It is almost as if we call something a resolution we are adding another hurdle while calling them goals takes one away.  Who knows, maybe that is just my thinking…

Anyway, my 2012 goals are…

• Run 365 miles.  By giving this goal an actual value I am ensuring more of a success than if I had just said, run more.

 

• Pay off my credit card and make a dent in my student loan payments.

 

• Blog more.  Now, I know I am not giving this one a numerical value like I did with running but I feel like since starting the job I have not been blogging as much and I want to change that.  I need to find a system and stick with it.

 

• Find a good balance.  As I mentioned above, going from lots of part time jobs to a full time job plays with how you handle your life and how you find a balance for it.  I am still working on this one.

 

• Do at least one creative thing each week.  It is amazing how when I find the time to make things I can relax more.

 

• Live with more intention, or purpose.  I don’t like to just drift through things, day by day.  How boring is that?

 

• Play outside

 

• Spend less, Give more

 

• Spend time with God each and every day.  Real meaningful time, not just quickly reading a devotional or quick prayer time.

 

• Read one book a month.  Reading is so important and how often I toss it aside because something else calls my attention.

 

• Find adventure.

 

 

Now I realize some of these are not numerical at all and cannot really be tracked but by writing them down I am stating that they are things I want to work on.  Some of them are not things that can even be counted or categorized and that is okay with me.
