Around the time I got married I was cleaning some of the stuff out of my old room at my parent's house and I ran across a school paper (I wish I would have kept it). The top of the paper said "In 2007 I will graduate from Mountain Crest High School then I will. . ." There were three lines where I was to write my goals of what to do after high school. This is what I wrote:
1. I will probably get a job
2. I will probably get a car
3. I will probably go to USU
1st grade Lindsay wasn't very committed, but I guess I've always been like that. I don't want to set things in stone just in case. I just don't want to disappoint myself. I did all these things within three months of graduating. I feel like these goals were expected of me (not necessarily going to USU, but college), but I'm glad that the people around me had the faith in me to want and expect me to go to college and have a job to be able to afford things.
I haven't made new goals in a while, but I feel like they are important to make you a better person. Even if they are simple. I'm sure that's why the Personal Progress program has such an emphasis on goals. I'll start working on a good list of goals, maybe I'll even post it. That may give me more of an incentive to achieve them.
I'm really impressed that as a 1st grader you knew how to spell probably.
ReplyDeleteYou are at a great place for setting goals right now - weight lose, getting up early.....
I'm surprised those were thoughts in your head in 1st grade...well surprised coming from the princess lover. Haha...I'm sure my list would've been quite drastically different. Haha! That's something I learned from the Personal Progress Program too...you feel so accomplished setting goals and so much more seems to get done in life. Good luck setting some good goals!
