Goals for 2007
Posted by nathan on 02 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: my life.
Okay, so about a month ago i talked about my 2007 goals, and asked for some suggested goals. I got some good suggestions, and here they are (in no particular order).
- More consistent God-time. It seems when I get busy, the first time I skimp on is my God-time. This shouldn’t be. God-time should be priority one. I need to refocus on this this year.
- Read 2,400 pages this year. In my previous blog linked above, i mentioned my goal was 1,200 pages. I figured I needed to aim a little higher. So, 2,400 pages it is.
- Treat my body better. I get lazy. I eat bad. I don’t exercise. i do not treat my body as well as it should be treated. in 2006 I put on about 10 pounds (not to mention a lot of muscle mass loss) and about 1 1/2″ on my waist. I would like to be more healthy–just feel better all-around.
- Follow my dreams. (More on this one coming in the future!)
So, those are my goals for this year. What are your goals for the year? Why did you choose the goals you did?
If you choose not to make goals for this year, why did you make that choice?

Honestly, I don’t know that I’ve ever kept a New Year’s Resolution…ever. Not even the ones that I have written down. So, I have stopped making them. They are merely a source of discouragement and frustration to me. I think it is because I make them because that’s what I am supposed to do at the New Year.
I am able to keep resolutions that I make, but I normally make them at different times throughout the year when I see a need to do so.
I guess it just doesn’t make sense to me to wait until January 1 to make decisions and allow God to work on me.
But that’s just me.

well, if it makes any difference, i’ve never kept a New Year’s Resolution either. That’s why i don’t make them. I make goals.
A goal is something you strive to attain.
A New Year’s Resolution is typically something you start of stop cold turkey.
I have five-year and ten-goals as well. If i don’t have a goal–somewhere to aim–how would I ever know if I get there, let along know where I’m going?

I guess I used resolution interchangeably with goal.
I guess my thing is that I don’t set goals or make resolutions when the year changes. I do it when it’s needed. I started a business in February a few years back, and I set short and long term goals at that point. I also set review dates and parameters to see if the goals needed to be revised.
I think I need to have a reason to set a goal, and simply because the year changed just doesn’t cut it.
