Here are my goals, dreams, and hopes for 2008. They are in no particular order.
As always, comments welcome!
- Be more selfless/less selfish in general and especially in relationships.
- Be more grateful for what I have and take fewer things for granted.
- Cultivate my relationships with people I admire.
- Make an effort to be involved in my fellowship.
- Donate money to my local National Public Radio station, WYSO.
- Learn and recognize when to step down from a fight.
- Stay fit and stick with my wellness plan.
- Learn and recognize when to apologize.
- Stay in better touch with my extended family.
- Successfully start and finish my Honors project (speculative topic: The Fuzzy Line Between News and Entertainment)
- Graduate in November (sheesh, all of a sudden that seems really soon).
- Read for school and for pleasure.
- Be more appreciative towards Shawn and treat him better in general.
- Make amends with people who have wronged me, and those whom I have wronged. Let go of my grudges and negativity.
- Complete more of my training at the animal shelter and devote more time to volunteering there whenever possible.
- Study more Buddhism, especially the things that I can learn to integrate into my daily life. Perhaps visit a temple.
- Try to focus more on positive things than negativity.
- Submit my writing to contests and *gulp* maybe even publishers.
- Make efforts to be more environmentally conscious. Perhaps start a composting initiative within my community.
- Volunteer in my community (by which I mean the condo development where I live).
- Be more laid-back and easygoing and less uptight, structured, and inflexible. Relatedly, be more spontaneous.
As always, comments welcome!
