\"goals<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Something that always keeps me going, and eager to start a new year, is the opportunity to set new goals\u2026fun and exciting (for me) goals. It also helps that I actually completed the goals I set this past year, so I am raring to go for 2013.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Waiting for things to happen in my life gets me down, so I have decided I need to move forward in a direction that speaks to me, calling upon the powers of heaven to keep me focused long enough to finish something of worth. My goals range all across the board. Some are big, others are small, some weigh on me, others are fun and keep me happy. I\u2019d like to share my goals with you for two reasons:<\/p>\n

  1. By writing them down I have made a commitment. Last year, I wrote them down on a scratch piece of paper and taped them to the side of my bed so I could see them every day. It felt great to be able to cross them off my list as the year went on. Some, I admit, I had to be in the mood to do, so seeing them every day helped me plan and psych myself up for \u201cthe event of accomplishment\u201d.<\/li>\n
  2. I hope to influence someone to do likewise.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    My goals don\u2019t have any rhyme or reason to them. It\u2019s just what I feel I need to do in my life right now; no doubt the Lord has something to do with this. But since my interests range all over the map, I tend to lean toward crazy, so goals help stabilize me just a little bit.<\/p>\n

    Here is a very important tip about setting goals: Always create a measurable goal so you can celebrate the happy moment of completion.\"goal<\/a>\u00a0Here are my 2013 goals:<\/p>\n
