this is the first time i think i have posted here about this but i have a long list of goals i try to complete each year. I work toward them almost everyday.The goals i do and dont do go through a cycle.
"do i still want to do this goal"?
"was the goal too hard"
"was the goal too easy"
and then i consider
"making it harder"
"making it easier"
"dropping it"
or
"keeping it the same"
I try to get others to do it. It isnt easy to convince someone how awesome it is to do something that you have been doing for at least 5 years. However the goals need to be specific. "losing weight" isnt a goal, but "getting down to x weight" is. "read more" isnt a goal but "read x books" is. The specificity is important for outlining a year where boredom will be difficult to obtain and where failure isnt met with guilt or sadness.
Why do it? The idea is to litter your year with things you can accomplish. This improves mental health, and allows a person to obtain happiness more easily. It is very difficult to be depressed when you have a record of accomplishments you can look back on while having a record achievements that only you have. Most people are on a tredmill, doing the same stuff every day. their pattern of behavior doesn't change. They then don't do much to improve their lives.
The world keeps moving with or without them. We should enjoy the world as it spins. Obtain new skills, learn new things. There are around 700 new advancements in technology. We have robots that vaccuum the floor, robots that weed the garden, robots that wash dishes, robots that cook food. There are robots that will make art.
Yet the need for a car is behind us, we have clothing that heats itself up. There are ebikes that can go 250 miles on a single charge, and dont require a license to drive or insurance.
So make some goals, work toward them. the first year is the hardest becuase you are learning the ropes and your own capabilities. How many people even know the width of their own hands? How many know their body, really?
Life is long, you can still do more then you know and you are not done growing. life is an adventure, and some people are terrible but you dont have to stay rooted forever.
This is why i do my goals every year. The world still has much to be discovered. Happy new years.
