I was looking through my old journal and found a list of "things to do this summer" from 2010. I loved some of the things I wrote and think they are things to always remember. I added a few more and I know the list is long, but I guess you can call this my expanded new year's resolution/goals/be a better person list...
- Become a student of the scriptures and study them daily
- Study the covenants I've made and our promised blessings
- Attend the temple once a month
- Immerse myself in good books instead of TV
- Study past conference talks
- Look for opportunities to serve
- Develop my talents and find new ones
- Decide what the next step in my career is
- Get up and move!
- Develop good daily patterns and habits
- Be outgoing and more friendly
- Always express gratitude and appreciation
- Ask myself: is everything I'm doing bringing me closer to my Savior and helping me in my responsibilities as a
futurewife and future mother? - Work on motherly attributes - gentleness and patience
- Write in my journal more consistently
- Be a better friend, make new ones, and reconnect with old ones
- Find time to play tennis again
- "Early to bed, early to rise"
- Strive to have more charity
- Always look for the good, not the bad
- Find a new hobby
- Be productive
- Reestablish a healthy lifestyle
- Live a balanced life
- Put Mike's needs before my own
{I could have gone on but I have to stop somewhere!}
Pretty much in a nutshell... be a better person :)

These are amazingly inspirational goals, I'm so impressed. Mine are always "work out more" and "sleep in less" - not too creative haha.

ReplyDeleteYou have such great goals. My boyfriend & I are wanting to make a bucket list for everything that we want to do together. We have a very unique idea about how to do it...we're going to be doing that in a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteThese are such great goals! I always try to make my own goals too but I can't ever seem to think of more than 3 at one time.
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic goals to have in place for the new year!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by my blog, Whitney. You and Michael are such a great-looking couple.. kiiiind of wishing you'd come to Canada so I could photograph YOU! ;)
