Another year had passed and a new one has come and as a tradition, many of us start the year with a new year resolution. Be it one thing or a long list. But as most of us know, many new year resolutions last till the last week of February to second week of March only. Personally, I'm not fond of writing new year resolutions. What I usually do at the start of the year is GOAL SETTING.
Being stuck at home for 5 days (I was literally bored out of my wits on the second day), I began to think about my life and what direction to take. may it be financial, spiritual, career, relationship and whatever aspect you might think of. Here is a list of what I plan to do in no particular order.
GOAL NUMBER 1
2013, I offer this year to God. May he use me to work His ways in reaching His people. I also want to deepen my relationship with Him and that i may keep the fire to serve Him burning.
GOAL NUMBER 2
Continue what I started in 2012 in terms of how to handle my finances. To continue and with my investments and to make it grow (stocks, mutual funds, business, etc) and to continue with my budget plan. No more impulse buying!!!
GOAL NUMBER 3
Travel more! I want to travel and meet people to know about their life and culture. I want to see other countries and see what makes us different from each other and what commonality we share with them.
GOAL NUMBER 4
Think about my career path. I'm still young so I think I can handle career shifts more than if I shift when I'm older. I'm still thinking if I will work outside the country or if I should stay here.
GOAL NUMBER 5
Write on my blog more often!! I'm a lazy person. I write when I feel like writing. I should set a schedule and follow it. like once a week or twice a month. whatever is more convenient. I have so much many pending posts!
GOAL NUMBER 6
Take care of my physical body more. I'm not getting younger and what I do at this point in my life contributes to my future. I should think for the long term. Exercise regularly, drink lots of fluids, have 8 hours sleep (especially this one about sleeping) and go out and enjoy the sun more. :) I also miss playing sports (badminton and table tennis are my favorite sports) I also miss taekwondo! :( Hope I can get back to training.
GOAL NUMBER 7
Though this is not top priority, I hope to fall head over heels in love again. Hope I can find someone who makes me feel like a princess this year :)
GOAL NUMBER 8
Continue being a good friend.
GOAL NUMBER 9
LOVE myself more! I've spent the past 7 years going from one relationship to the other. The other half was always the center of my world. This year, I will appreciate myself more. I wont compromise what I believe in for someone. If they love me then good. If they don't, fine. Its not my loss. The biggest loss I can have, and one I will surely wont forgive myself is losing myself in the process. I'm at this point in my life where I love myself more than any human being. This is not me being selfish but me having self-respect.
GOAL NUMBER 10
Continue with my
30 before 30 list. 4 down, 26 to go! :) i still have 7 years :)
