Me and G New Year's 2011



My best friend.  The love of my life.  My rock.

Goals 2011

Last summer I was trained as a facilitator for the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People".  Very cool program.  Very guru-esque creator (Steven Covey)...

Because of that training, I surfed one day to the Franklin Covey website (his company) and did the personal mission statement section...it takes some focused time, but it's a good way to get an objective view of your personal philosophies and goals.

SO, here are some of mine:

  • I am at my best when I have a deadline and I can turn everything else off to hyper-focus.
  • I will try to prevent times when I'm micromanaging.
  • I will find enjoyment in my personal life through travel, hiking, and experiencing new places.
  • I will find opportunities to use my natural talents and gifts such as writing, dreaming, and creating.
  • I can do anything I set my mind to. I will learn Spanish, travel around the world, continue my education, and build a house.
  • I will stop procrastinating and start working on:
    • frivolous spending.
    • abandonment of wasted time on facebook, email, internet, TV, etc...screens in general...
    • quiet time with God.
  • I will strive to incorporate the following attributes into my life:
    • grace
    • unconditional love
    • a spirit of life
  • I will constantly renew myself by focusing on the four dimensions of my life:
    • exercise...cardio and weights
    • daily quiet time
    • literature, more education (National Board Certification)
    • quality time with Garon and my children
