Happy Monday.
I hope you brought this year in with a "banging attitude". One that speaks of "moving forward", and "challenging yourself". This is what I did. My daughter, my close friend and myself, brought 2010 in praying together. We first laid out our goals for the new year, and we prayed that we will stay on course, and execute the work that go along with goal setting.
As I forementioned in another writing, my son brought his new year in with his dad, brothers, and some members of my family, in Detroit, Michigan. He was elated. He shared with me how he saw various family members that he had not seen in many years. I was very happy for him...and myself.
Moreover, I made up my mind that I need to first set some goals for 2010. Then I devised a plan as to how I plan to eventually realize these goals. No doubt, I must take the action needed to bring my dreams to fruition. I love it. Because in "2010, we will win."
I will share with you a few of my goals. I am focusing on myself, being a better person, on the inside (and out:), family becomes an automatic priority, and I am working diligently on my financial predicament. I will become more financially secure.
I will not describe to you my specific plan of action as to how I plan to achieve these goals. I just believe that if I talk or share too much, I am less likely to execute the work. I decided that I would much rather work and produce the desired results as opposed to talking about them. Just telling you what I plan to do, is NOT enough for me. I want my action to speak for me, as I write my entries and share these things with you, as the days, weeks, months, and eventually the 2010 year, come to a close. And you and I know that it will come to an end. So I decided to "JUST DO IT".
I am taking action.
Action- an act that one consciously wills and that may be characterized by physical or mental activity:
Goals-the result or achievement toward which effort is directed; aim; end.
Achieve-to bring to a successful end; carry through; accomplish:to bring about an intended result; accomplish some purpose or effect.
Focus-a central point, as of attraction, attention, or activity.
Moreover, as the definitions above clearly point out that I must be focused to bring my actions to a successful end. So to sum up my unspecified goals that I share with you today,,,,,,,I am now focused on getting my family life in order. I am now focused on my financial condition, or lack thereof. I am focused on being a better person overall. I am focused on continuing to learn as much as I can.
Education NEVER stops, as long as we have breath in our bodies. We can never ever learn everything there is here on this earth to learn. So what this means is that we are constantly changing, hopefully for the better.
THank you 2010, as I will win, and I plan to bring others with me. Success is not success if you are alone. Success is for you to enjoy with others. I want to always help others become successful, so help me God.:)
Make it a successful year,
L. for Love

I commend you on sharing your goals openly w/ all of us. That can be very hard. The possibility of failure w/ everyone watching is very real to me, and keeps me from opening up about the dreams and goals I have for myself. But, I am working on that, working on the courage to blog about what I dream of and what I hope to attain someday. Thank you for giving me courage to do this and for the inspiration to speak freely & truthfully. Your kind comments are appreciated as well.
