Strangly enough I don’t do New Year resolutions per say, so I don’t class these as such. I am setting these goals now why wait till the New Year. These are some of my goals for next year (and now) and if I have learnt anything at work it is to make any goals SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound ) but fear not I wont be boring you with the finer details of my goal setting. I am sure as the months go by, and I start to cross my goals off my list I will be adding more to this goal list if I do I will keep you posted. So that said these are just some of my top goals for the year in no particular order;
1. Travel More
Can be anything from a two week trip to a long weekend these are just some of the places on my wish list Ethiopia, Sweden Berlin, USA (NY, Atlanta, Wasington, Miami), Canada, Japan, China, Australia, Neq Zealand
2. Read ‘Even’ More
Read 1-2 books every month from my ever growing reading list and post a blog about the current book I am reading.
3. Start Driving
Take my driving and theory test so I can do a road trip somewhere exciting like the States and Ethiopia.
4. Learn To Read And Write in Amharic
Learn to read and write in Amharic before the year is out, it either through self teaching, teaching one-to-one with a friend, joining a class so that by the end of the year I will read a book in Amharic and also write a letter to my brother in Ethiopia (that would give him a shock)
5. Do More For Charity
Do something more than just giving money, either volunteer more, do an event, do a run anything but DO SOMETHING
6. Do Something Daring
Do something daring, daring on my level that is something I wouldn’t even consider doing now either bungee jumping or sky diving etc.
7. Exercise More
Well it should really say exercise full stop, as I need to just exercise rather than saying more. Whatever I decide to do whether it be to join the gym a classes do home training, run, walk whatever I need to do a hell lot more of it in my life. If I want to continue to enjoy the joys of cakes and sweets then this is a MUST!
8. Lead a Positive and Happy Life
Keep doing what I am doing my happiness is dependent on me so KEEP working on ME
9. Buy A House
Get that deposit sorted and buy that house of my dreams so I can invite my friends over for dinner and tea parties.
10. Play The Bass Already
I brought a beautiful bass a few years ago with the hope of teaching myself to play. I haven’t done that successfully just yet so this year that’s my mission I want to learn at least a few cords and some tunes.
11. Make Stuff
I have been saving some great DIY tips and steps I came across online with the hope of getting round to making some of them. So I plan to get the tools and equipment I need together to give this some of these wondrous ideas a go. I promise to post the ideas I do manage to complete.
