I have always been a firm believer in goal setting. As I begin a new year I decided to take out some of my old journals to review what my past goals have been and I was not surprised to learn that many of my goals are the same they were 5 years ago. The things I have been truly passionate about have not changed. I wanted to review these goals and see what I have accomplished and what I still want to do.
Accomplished:
Volunteer for a children’s organization, currently I volunteer for Make A Wish
Going to Europe
Workout to develop a healthy body – this one is always on my list.
I love checking things off lists, I get such a high to make a list and then complete it. Grocery lists, errands lists, cleaning lists, things to buy lists, it could go on and on. I make a list for just about everything. So to go back through and see some of my goals I have accomplished is a great feeling. It also gives me that much more motivation to make new goals and complete those.
As you can see some of my goals are what I call “lifetime goals” or dreams of mine that I have for myself.
Including showcase my photography in an exhibit or be published in a magazine. I wrote “lifetime goals” back in 2000!! These are goals that I am contiously working on. I’m inspired to see things from 2000 and that what was important back then to me is still important to me today.
So if you have not written your goals or your dreams down, do it today!! Writing it down and looking at it every few days makes it real, it keeps it on your mind and it’s so exciting and exhilirating to check it off and know that you accomplished what you set out to do!
So, what are your goals and dreams?
