It's been real, 2012, but I've established the following goals (in no particular order) in order to make the most of 2013:
- Become financially savvy by reading literature and increasing my discussion on finances. I will also grow my personal savings by contributing to my account weekly and sticking to a budget. In order to keep track of my spending, I am going to use resources such as Mint.
- Improve my health by creating healthy habits. I can do this by getting at least 8 hours of sleep daily, eating healthy, drinking lots of water, incorporating daily exercise I can commit to, and taking care of my body by developing a good relationship with my doctors. I am going to use resources such as Skinnytaste, Livestrong, and don't weight for it.
- Broaden my potentials by committing to learning something new. Ways that I can accomplish this are by looking into doctoral programs, learning another language, reading more books, giving back to the community by volunteering and doing random acts of service, and participating in activities that will allow me to grow in my understanding of self and others.
- Prioritize my relationships with others by formally and/or informally expressing my gratitude for their positive impact to my life. This can be as simple as sending a letter or by dedicating more time to spend with my loved ones near and far. I will also continue to look for opportunities to expand my professional network by being more productive at work, being organized because an organized person is often perceived as a reliable person, gaining new knowledge, having faith in my abilities, and being more friendly and approachable.
- Grow in my faith by consistently persevering in spiritual disciplines (i.e. going to mass, praying, doing service) and by enacting the golden rule.
I hope that my goals inspire you in some form and empowers you to establish some of your own. Happy YOU year, my friends. Get yours! I wish us all success and cheers to having a fulfilling life this new year. In the meantime, make the most out of the last day in 2012. Another year down, another year blessed.
