[Quote by Larry Elder]I have another list, although it doesn’t really qualify for a List of the Week. It’s more like a list of my life. Similar to what you might expect around New Year’s Day. A list of goals, of plans, of dreams. What this quote says is so important – I can sit around wishing these things would happen for the rest of my life. But until I put in the hard work of making them happen, well, nothing’s going to happen.
I know all that. My problem is partly motivation, partly commitment, and partly being overwhelmed. Because I have a lot of goals, a lot of things I want to do and change. So today I thought I’d put them out here for you. Not that you’re sitting at home wondering what my dreams are. But because I also think a goal that’s not spoken out loud is just a wish.
- Goal #1 – Seek, know, love and serve God more and better.
- Goal #2 – Change my career.
- Goal #3 – Lose weight.
- Goal #4 – Pay off debt and save for the future.
- Goal #5 – Do the things I love to do. (Learn to dance. Write a book. Sing and play piano. Scrapbook all my photos.)
I also have two major priorities that require maintenance and some improvement.
- Priority #1 – My relationship with my husband (mini goal – establish monthly date nights)
- Priority #2 – Nurturing and raising my daughter (mini goals – read to her more, have more fun playing with her, determine discipline strategy with husband, teach her to eat healthy foods)
That’s a lot! It’s no wonder I get overwhelmed thinking about it! What goals, dreams, priorities do you all have? And how do you keep from focusing on how MUCH there is to do and instead focus on your PLAN for reaching those goals?
