Today reminds me that we are getting closer to a new year, with new plans, new goals, and new projects that we will be working on. I have to take a look at my goals that I had for this year and look at just how many I didn’t get accomplished and see which ones I think I might actually be able to achieve next year and which one’s are just out of my reach (at least for next year). I really should start a short term and long term goal list and then I might feel a little more accomplished come this time next year. I don’t know if I have told you guys but I am an extremely overly ambitious person, sometimes to my own detriment. Usually as Christmas approaches I sit down and begin making a list of my goals, the projects I want to get done, and the books I want to read for the next year. While my friends who do this same thing have short, attainable lists, my lists look like the goals of about two or three people put together. My challenge when I make my list this year is to make my lists something that I can feasibly accomplish. My list has to be something that meets my ambitions, but does not exceed my own reality. It needs to be a list that when I go back and look at it at the end of the year I’m not going to feel like I am an absolute failure because I didn’t even get half of a ridiculously long list done. So as Thanksgiving moves out and the Christmas season officially begins, so does the preparations for the year to come. Until next time…What are your goals for next year going to look like?
