Thinking about goals 🎯 8 days before 2024

Have you seen the calendar?
It is the 23rd of December 2023 today.

In 8 days, it will be December 31st.

So what? You may ask.
I think it is a good time, as we rest and relax (well, a bit) - to reflect and to rethink our year so far.

It is an opportunity to make necessary arrangements for a better new year.
Because it is possible, no matter what other people tell you.

It is possible to create our fate and to change our life.

Whatever happens to us, our future is ours to create.

What are goals? They are targets. Actions or specific things that we try to reach.

A goal can be

• reaching a grade
• finding our dream partner
• landing a dream job
• making X amount of money per month
• learn a new skill
  etc etc etc

If you ever read about goals, you sure have seen that they need to be ...
SMART
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound

I agree with all that, but I will try to keep it simple today.

Have you ever 'not achieved your goals'?
Have you ever 'forgotten about them'?
Or even faced uncertainty about how to work for them?

If yes, I suggest the below

See if you can try an app or any suitable for you to write them down.
When we see our goals, or when we share them with others, may lead to an easier accomplishment.

If you would ask me, I am happy about where I am. I know I could do better, but its all about growing and learning, and discovering and becoming wise(r)

So for me, this is what I will do.

First of all, I will write down everything that I currently do. (Job & Hobbies)
I will evaluate them and think of ways to improve them.
I.e. find ways to work more productively and better etc

Then I will think of new things I want to do and try to assess if they are worth my time and why I should or should not do them.

For all the things/projects of mine, I will set a draft time line per month. This way, it will be easier for me to know in advance my responsibilities / tasks in advance.

Next year, I plan to do more things that I enjoy to do.
Next year, I want to share more personal stories that could potentially help other/younger users who happen to read my posts.
Next year, I will try to be healthy so that I can stand for my family.

Let's open our heart, open our mind, be brave and hope for peace inside and outside.

Thank you for stopping by, I will be happy to hear your feedback and tips 🩵
