New Year New You ... and Me

Yes, I have been listening to Dave Ramsey again ... and today it was about Goals. He talks about the seven areas that you shouljd make goals in for the new year. Career. Financial. Spiritual. Physical. Intellectual. Family. Social. If you don't make career goals you will be at the same job doing the same thing this time next year. Talk to God daily. Physical goals can be hard ... losing weight, exercising, running a marathon. Pick something that is obtainable. I will not be running any marathons this year. Read a book. Millionaires read one non fiction book a month. Spend more time with your family and that doesn't include watching TV. Have a girl's night out. Get our of the house. Take time to talk to friends, not on the phone or with texting. There are five rules to setting Goals to make them obtainable. Be specific. Measurable. Your goals, don't do it because some else wants you too. Time limits. WRITE THEM DOWN. Goals are dreams ... don't stop at dreaming them ... make them happen. Goals lead you to activities that bring you to accomplishing your dreams. I have set my goals for Physical, Spiritual, Intellectual and Family but am still working on the others. I am going to attend Weight Watcher meetings once a week for three months. I am going to read every day from my Daily Bible. I am going to read a non fiction book before the end of February. I am starting with Multiple Blessings by Kate Gosselin ... gotta start somewhere. I am going to play and walk with Roxy everyday and I am going to take Jamie and go on an outing at least once every other week. Wish me luck!
