Print Believe it or not, I love Mondays. The same way I love a new semester, and a new year. I love fresh starts, the chance to begin again. And with every new beginning, I have the opportunity to set new goals, and a chance to achieve them. But no goal can be achieved without first making it known. Here is what some ninetyandnine.com readers set as their goals for 2006. Take their lead, set your goals, and be a success in 2006.
To stop fretting about the
future and to live in the moment.
To get rich without winning
the lottery.
To stay away from my new
in-laws as much as possible.
My goal for the new year is
to focus more on church, school, and family, and not focus as much on my
personal life.
To spend at least two
weekends with my grandparents (just us) this year...doing, anything. And to have
some form of communication with all my "distant" relatives monthly.
To get on the Police Force.
To stay with one college
major the whole entire year. I keep switching almost every semester and would
like to finally just engulf myself in one so I feel like I am finally going
somewhere!
My goal this year is to
become a husband fit for the wonderful lady that God brought into my life.
To push myself into the
right direction as far as education goes. I haven’t had a real aim in life
and I really have been longing for that the last few months.
Get an awesome internship
overseas for the entire summer...either Australia or Iceland looks to be the
place.
To maintain a journal for
most of the years to come. I figure that I'm getting older, and I'm going to
start forgetting things, so this seems like a great idea. I want to be able to
talk to my kids about the way society was when I was a teenager, the clothes we
wore, the lingo, and all of the great people I knew. It'd be nice to leave
something behind besides some pictures and incomplete stories.
To stay as far away from my
mother-in-law as possible.
I gotta give up fast food
this year.
I guess one of my goals
would be to once again do well in school.
To become more committed to my
own-self improvement especially my education.
My goal is to write and
produce a play.
To
personally win 50 souls.
To win a soul to Christ.
To enroll in a graduate
program.
I have many goals, but
probably the most important one would be to grow more spiritually. In all
aspects of it....wisdom being the most important...as some guy once
said..."First know thyself'...after that the rest will fall into place.
I would like to get better
at keeping in touch with my friends, family and close contacts while away in
college.
To remember what it was like
to laugh unabashedly, like a child, from my heart and belly. Speaking of
bellies to drop about 15 lbs.
To read
the Bible completely through.
To get back into shape after
I have my baby, and be able to run at 3 miles in 27 minutes.
Get my hands out of a
hundred activities and instead give my full attention to just a couple.
Drink more water.
In 2006 I am planning to
purchase my first home.
To eat healthier and as for
spiritually I want to set aside more time to read the Bible.
To "Take the stairs." I
mean that as much metaphorically as I do literally. Taking the stairs to me
means take the road less traveled. Take the road that might cause a little more
work but in the end it will bring a greater reward. In all things I do I plan
to "take the stairs." I plan to put greater effort and reap greater benefits.
