I decided not to do a December 2008 Hot Topic of the Month because I wanted us to start the 2009 New Year with a new beginning and focus. This year is all about the positive! It's about setting and realizing goals. It's about balancing your life, improving your life, being happy and celebrating you and your accomplishments!
Every New Year people set goals and make resolutions. They even try to work at them as best that they could but why do they fail? The reason why is because most are unrealistic. Or because they take on too many big ones at one time. Also, some do not understand the difference between a goal and a resolution. A resolution is defined as a decision of future action. A goal is defined as an object or end that one strives through action to attain.
Each of the following 11 months we will tackle different goals on the site to help you realize a better you by the end of the year. This will take place in 4 different plans of action as follows...
1. Building Sound Financial Practices
- Getting Out of Debt - February 2009
- Saving - March 2009
- Giving Back Through Charity - April 2009
2. Balancing Your life
- Spiritual - May 2009
- Family - June 2009
- Vacation/Free Time - July 2009
3. Improving Your Life
- With Better Health - August 2009
- With Education - September 2009
- With Your Career - October 2009
4. A Happier You
- Being Happy With Yourself and Your Life - November 2009
- Celebrating The New You! - December 2009
Hopefully by the end of 2009 all of us will have met at least a couple of our goals and will be in a better place mentally, emotionally and financially.
On this site you will find a link to 43 Things. It is a site about goals. I personnally used this site often and I have shared it with my friends and co-workers. Take a look and give it a try.
Throughout this month the site will be updated with information on setting and realizing goals. Information will be added on suggestions of steps to be successful at meeting your goals. In the meantime look over the 11 month schedule for 2009.
Again, Happy New Year!
