Happy New Year everyone! I hope you each find peace, prosperity and happiness in 2008.
There's always a lot of talk about New Year's resolutions. Bah! Don't make vague resolutions. Instead, take some time and make some goals.
First, get a piece of paper. An unwritten goal is just a wish - write it down to make real.
Second, come up with two or three goals. Make them realistic, obtainable, and measurable. "I want to be a better parent." isn't a goal - it's just wish. Instead, how about "I will read a bedtime story to my kids at least three nights a week."
Write down your goals and leave some space between them.
Lastly, jot down an action plan to accomplish your goals. For the reading example, perhaps you need to visit a book store to buy a book of stories.
Got goals? Share them in your comments, and include a step or two from your action plan. I'd love to hear from you!
