Trespass sweetly urged. Give me my sin again.
Defining A Few Goals

** As I mentioned yesterday, I plan on spending the next few days putting together a list of goals and resolutions for New Years, but now I wonder if I should put together a list of things I want to happen or things I need to happen. Should I compile a list based on self improvement or society improvement?

In general, I think resolutions are supposed to be about improving yourself so I think I can get away with choosing egocentric resolutions. I guess this puts me back to my original question...want vs. need. Maybe I should choose a little of both.


**Now I need to know how many resolutions I should make. I hope I'm not limited to one. A part of me thinks I shouldn't be wasting so much time on making a decision; but then another part of me knows that if plan to make real changes, I should be spending this much time on thinking things through.

I hope those of you planning to make resolutions are doing the same.

All mine are self improvement, I feel I can't truly make an impact on the world if I'm still struggling to find myself. My biggest resolution being to stop holding myself back.

That's pretty insightful and accurate I think. I believe you are well on your way to accomplishing your resolution already.

I think for society improvement, you could create goals in how you're going to change/improve society. You know, like maybe volunteering somewhere or something like that.

As for how many resolutions you should make, I think you should make as many or as few as necessary. Obviously, they should all be achievable. There's nothing worse than goals that are unreasonable or impossible to achieve. For example, it would be unreasonable for me to resolve to exercise 2 hours every day. Never mind the fact that I don't have that kind of time, jumping into working out every day is just asking for trouble.

Volunteering has been on my mind for a while now, and I think there is an Alzheimer walk in my area pretty soon too. I'll add that to my list of things to do before the first.

I think that's an excellent start.

I think my goal is to follow through on the training and completion of the 3 day breast cancer walk. No idea why I want to do it, but I it's been something I've had the urge to do and since I've finally found people to do it with me, this year is the year.
