New Years Resolutions are definitely not something new to me. Every year, whether consciously or not, I come up with some things I want to work on during the year and I do my best to accomplish those things.
Tonight I was reading through my journal from last year, looking for the day I wrote my list of resolutions, and I couldn't find it. I guess last year I didn't come up with a list. I did find my "focus" for the year, and was glad to see that it had truly been my focus. I wrote "I have had my life slightly at a standstill and this year I want to change that. I want to begin making more progress towards my future." As I look back on where I was a year ago I am definitely no longer at a "standstill." So much has changed in my life, and I can attribute a lot of that change to great family and friends who have helped me to have the courage to change. I feel like I have a more solid direction for my future, and I am excited for the possibilities this year can hold. A good friend once said "Change is hard, but good," and 2011 sure taught me the truth in that statement.
This upcoming year I though it would be fun to have "12" resolutions. The majority of this years resolutions will be a major challenge for me, a step out of my comfort zone, but I am not one to turn down a good challenge!
It's always important to write these resolutions down, so here they are, in no particular order! (All of these have been broken down into more specific steps, but I won't bore you with those :D)
2. DREAM BIG
3. Document Life
4. Focus on the Positive
5. Speak Now
6. Build Relationships
7. Do What Gives You Joy
8. Follow the Spirit
9. Budget
10. Look for God's Hand
11. Embrace Change
12. Be the Best Me
So here is to a great year! I don't know about you, but I am excited to see what 2012 will bring!
Edit: I think since there are 12 I will focus on one a month!
