This year, it’s a year of goals, not resolutions. The number of people that set New Year’s resolutions that fail them in the first three months is astounding. In fact, only 8% of the people that set them actually meet them. That’s a 92% failure rate. I might be kidding myself here, but thinking about 2017 and the goals I want to meet or exceed seem more obtainable and something to shoot for vs resolving to do in 2017. So here is my list of goals for 2017:
- Be intentional with people/relationships (love more deeply with friends and family)
- Be present in social situations (no phone, laptop, distractions, etc)
- Read at least 5 books (not a big reader so this is a large goal)
- Travel More – with 6 weeks of vacation this year, I’m looking to get out
- Complete Salesforce Certifications
- Complete Scrum Master Certifications
- Start/Complete backyard Construction Project
- Landscape yard
- Lose 20lbs
- Cut the cord with Cable/DirecTv
- Finish garage (paint, hang garage doors)
- Finish furniture projects
- Purge Unnecessary Items (closets, garage, house, etc)
- Save More/Increase Net Worth
- Write/Blog at least once a month
- Increase PR (personal record) at the gym
I’ve put a number of things in life on hold because I have been scared to do them alone. Waiting for friends or family to commit to joining me on something has led to me pushing things off. I’m making a commitment today that waiting for others is not going to hold me back from doing the things I want to do. Life is too short to hold back from doing something I want to do. Here is to a great 2017!
