Wrote this on my birthday last year.
As I thought then and know more than ever now, it's all about following your gut feeling. It really is.
Reviewing what I had hoped to do, I snagged the 2nd job part the day after the inital post was written. Had no idea at the time that the 2nd job would go on to become my only job. My gut told me to go for it, I did, and haven't looked back since.
Had been making great strides at getting debt-free...then a death in the family, a funeral and all that goes with it, medical challenges and a sucky economy (given I spent most of last year in a commission-based job) torpedo'd my getting debt-free plans. It's still a goal; just one that will take longer than initally planned.
Fixing up my house...yeah...not so much. I have tons of ideas, just not the initiative or bravery to get them out of my head and into real life. And I still have a huge fear of heights.
Everything else I listed I made progress with. More proficient in the techy area of my life...but not as good as I want to be....lost more weight...but not as much as I want to lose...have a better understanding of photography...yet no where close to being an Ansel Adams or Andrew Hyde.
Overall, I'm doing ok with what I hoped to accomplish.
So what are my goals for 2009?
It's pretty simple, actually. Maybe way too general for others, but I know myself well enough by now that this one line goal will work for me.
"You know what you need to do...so do it"
So. What about you? Did you make goals/resolutions/promises to yourself last year? Did you keep them? Some of them? Any of them?
Lemme know...I'm all ears!
