This is the time of year I consider how close I've gotten to my goals and the productive
results of those I've reached. How did I do and what have I learned from the process?
much was accomplished this past year as the following reveals.
1. I wrote three books.
2. Planned, organized and managed two social events.
3. Engaged 5 entertainment gigs.
4. Hosted several dinners with extended family and friends.
5. Restructured my financial plan.
6. Acquired a beautiful Kia SUV.
7. Sold my old faithful silver sedan.
8. Made many new true friends.
9. Got even closer to my wife.
10. Learned new things about myself, my family and ancestry.
I must admit, though, there were a number of items on my goals list I would have loved to have fulfilled in 2017, but there are only
12 months in a year. So what outstanding goals are on my list?
1. Plan an outdoor BBQ style family reunion this summer.
2. Put on a bubble show at my relative's kids graduation party
3. Throw a family reunion talent show
4. Enjoy a black tie 39th wedding anniversary party
5. Write a children's book in rhyme with illustrations and audio.
I'm happy to say I'm making wonderful memories while planning each event.
NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
What are your New Years resolutions? How close are you to meeting your goal? Here's are some tips that help make your resolutions a reality.
1. Don't pretend to be or have what you want in life. Experience life at it's best, in the raw. Be what you are while learning to be your best self.
2. Give yourself permission to be truly happy and content with who you are, what you have, and those you have to share it with.
2. Give yourself permission to be truly happy and content with who you are, what you have, and those you have to share it with.
2. Discover who and what you really are. That means looking past the mistakes, looking over the slip-ups, looking beyond the impositions of history, and accepting that there are things you have no control over. Focus on discovering your gifts, see your potential and hone your empowering traits and endearing qualities.
3. Focus on living in the moment while planning for the future.
4. Plan the big stuff. Enjoy the little things. Let the rest of life play out. Don't overthink it.
5. Life is short, so keep your camera on. You never know when a priceless picture of your life happen and then quickly pass by.
6. You cannot do it all on your own. Sincere prayer for wisdom, insight, discernment, and guidance helps profoundly.
