Now that 2012 is upon us it is time once again to set some goals that I would like to attain this year. I really do not like the term “resolutions” so I prefer using goals instead. I am more goal oriented anyway.
Last year I posted my goals and renewed them at the end of the year. I found that writing my goals out here on the blog held me more accountable and allowed me to explore them even more as I typed them out on the page. Then found it even more humbling at the end of the year when I did the annual report and feel short in several areas.
Over the past week I have been thinking and praying about my personal goals for this year. What I should pursue and what is really not that important. There have two words that have been coming to my mind as I contimplate the upcoming year and those words are: “Better Myself”
In working on bettering myself in the coming year and hopefully into the years to come I want to focus on several areas. Over the next several days I am going to explore each area that I want to personally grow.
Here are the areas that I want to grow in the coming year:
- My Faith
- A Healthier Me
- A More Organized Me
- Better Blogger / Writer
- A Continual Learner
- A More Thankful Me
- A More Financially Stable Me
- A More Serving Me

My word for 2012 is transformed. One way I’m being transformed this year is by reading more. My goal is to read at least one book per month. I’m 1 for 1 so far!
I remember that post!
Transformed is a great word. What books do you have listed? Are they posted on your blog?
Great list! I would like to grow also in my faith. Aside from continually growing closer to God in my spiritual life, I am focusing on what medical school to attend this year. This year, I have to make the big decision.
I have started a new medical blog to help me discover what area I want to go into: http://www.studenttosurgeon.wordpress.com
It’s good to see you back blogging!
Thanks Brandon. Good to be back.
Good luck with medical school. That is a big challenge in itself!
