Wow! A month already gone but that is life, we have to make what we of time because before you know it, time has slipped passed us. Don`t put off what we can do today till tomorrow.
I make four resolutions, or goals, to accomplish each year. Some years I make it with all of them, some years I do not. Usually two are easier and two are harder.
I have began to pick a word, or words, that I try to also apply to my life for the year. This year I chose the words "No Regrets" because I do not want to regret a single thing I go for this year, whether I make it all the way or I fail, I will learn either way and make myself better.
What are my resolutions?
1- Stop buying - Grow more
I have to say that this is a fail and an accomplishment all in one.
Let me explain :
A few years ago I wanted to start a new business, I tried out a few jobs but was never satisfied and so that 2016 resolution was a fail. This is how resolutions work, what I want to accomplish this year may not happen till the next year or maybe two years later.
BUT.... the seed is planted because I know I wanted this to happen in the first place so its always there waiting to happen.
So I bought and I bought and bought more, sort of in stages as it came to me what to do. I will be opening up a store but I wont announce it just yet, I am still making the products and tallying up the costs to price each.
Grow more? Yes! I got a garden in and full of grass and blooms :)
So I will not call this a failure or an accomplishment.
2 - Clear land - Set up rentals
This is still in limbo, however, its not forgotten at all. I have been in conversations about clearing and setting up a place. At the moment its about finding someone cheap enough to clean it off.
So still not done. 100% fail.
3 - Clean, declutter and organize
Yes I have been able to keep this up, even bring in the new stuff I have it organized.
I am slacking on the cleaning at home, work is taking over this week for sure.
This one is a 70% accomplishment and 30% fail. Not to bad.
4 - Take a vacation
Nope! not even close! I have not had a day off in months, maybe years!
I do make plans but they are not meant to be, this last week a storm came around and blew down trees, so I have to get those cut and I move them, that storm also blew away and chance to go anywhere this week.
100% fail, I intend to work on getting this one going, I need it more than any of the others.
That is how well I am doing with this years resolutions, or goals. How are yours coming along?
