"To achieve happiness, we should make certain that we are never without an important goal." - Ralph Waldo Emereson

A couple weeks ago in Relief Society our Bishop's wife taught a lesson about the importance of setting goals. She said that when you write your goals down on piece of paper, and commit to looking at them often, they have a greater chance of being fulfilled. She then challenged each of us to write down all of our goals. So here they are. My list of goals I'd like to achieve in this lifetime. I figure that if I share them with you (my readers, if there are any! haha), that you can gain a greater perspective of who I am, and who I would like to become. Also, that you might help me to achieve them! Keep in mind, these are in no particular order and there are lots of things I could add to the list...I just can't think of them right now!

GOALS
*Go to Cosmetology school
*Get a degree
*Be an EFY counselor

  1. Is it sad that I feel proud of myself for having done some of those? I have a degree, "helped" build a house, and I keep a journal. Gotta work on that marathon next!

  4. Great goals girl! Very cool. You should see if this year or sometime you could go with my sister Teresa to Mexico. They go every Christmas to help build homes and take numerous donations down. They do that instead of get presents. I can't imagine what a rewarding experience that would be. Then you could maybe check off a few goals. I love the goal idea. I think I will write mine down. Thanks.
