Chinese New Year 2008
I love love LOVE the New Year! I love making plans and goals, and dreaming what will come about in the Year that no one has ever experienced before!
I absolutely adore making lists, and setting goals. I think they are absolutely necessary for a happy, fulfilled, and rewarding life. Here's my thoughts on making goals for yourself, from an earlier article I wrote: "...life is so busy, and if we never stop and take time to think about our lives, and what we want, the next thing we know, we're 50 and completely unhappy with our life! We need to take time RIGHT NOW to sit down, and think about this."
That is from a post on setting goals for yourself. Read that article here, before continuing.
So with that all said, I sat down and wrote my goals for the coming year. Let these inspire you to sit down and think about your life, what you want to accomplish, and write down YOUR goals for the coming year! When you do this, you will find that you feel much more accomplished, relaxed, happier, and at peace with your life.
These goals can be anything that you want. As long as you REALLY want it! Choose goals that you really really want to see happen in your life. It dosen't matter if they are difficult to achieve, as long as you really want it, and are willing to work for it! Make your goals clear, specific goals. Example: 'Get in Shape,' is a very non-specific, unclear goal, that you will most likely never accomplish. 'Lose 10 pounds by April, then lose another 10 by June, etc,' is a very specific, clear goal that you can measure how close you are getting to accomplish, and can take specific steps to reach.
Your goals can be personal growth goals, fun goals, or goals to change the world!
My Life Goals for the Year 2013!
1. Go on a cruise to the Bahamas.
2. Go to China.
3. Go to India.
4. Go to Kentucky for the annual Abbey Road on the River Beatles Tribute Week.
5. See my brother's band; Train of Love play at least two times.
6. Get 10,000 page views a month on My Peace Love Life.
7. Get back into modeling.
8. Sell my artwork and crafts.
So, after you have figured out what you want to accomplish, you need to figure out HOW you are going to accomplish these things! To do this, you are going to have to look at each goal individually, and figure out what things you need to do in order to accomplish that particular goal. Make these clear, specific steps that you need to take in order to reach that goal. So here's the steps I need to take to reach my goals for 2013.

Remember, the first step to getting something done, is realizing you want to do it. Imagine all you can accomplish, all the people you can help, and what a great life you can have, if you just sit down and figure out what it is!
