Resolutions or Goals

I’m not the type of person who enjoys making New Year’s resolutions, probably because I don’t think that one particular day is more important for making a change or setting a goal than the others–I, personally, enjoy setting goals all year long. I actually prefer the word goal over the word resolution. I admire the initiative that people have when it comes to making a change on the first of the year but I want to remind everyone that changes can be made on any given day, at any given time. You can make a change and set new goals whenever you choose to do so, remember that. You have the most power. Don’t be afraid to make new goals if you achieved your old ones. Don’t be afraid to make several small goals instead of one large goal. Your goals are YOURS and no one else’s. Make goals that you are comfortable setting and achieving–do not let others influence the goals you set for yourself.

I have several goals that I want to accomplish. These are goals I have always had and goals I just set for myself. Some are things I couldn’t accomplish last year, some are new things I want to accomplish, some are completely ridiculous, some are running goals, and some are personal goals.
