Goals Accomplished

Looking back on the year 2009 with 2010 fast approaching... I decided to take an inventory of all the things goals I have accomplished.

Starting this Summer I made a book list and finished about 11 of those books out of 20. I think that's pretty good if I do say so myself. I actually liked Pride and Prejudice.
I decided to take piano lessons so I found a teacher and took lessons for 2 months. I bought a keyboard and practiced, but I think I've forgotten how to play. I'll make a goal to reteach myself.

  1. I made a goal this Fall to attend every devotional/ forum presented. ACCOMPLISHED
  2. I made a goal to sit in the first three rows of every class to increase my attentiveness. ACCOMPLISHED (And it paid off)
  3. I made a goal to wake up at 5:30 to 6 AM every day to get to campus at 7:30 for my 8:00 Classes. ACCOMPLISHED
  4. I made a goal to go to bed by 10:30 every night no matter how tempting it was to go to a game night. ACCOMPLISHED

I'm sure I accomplished more goals than this. But these are the ones that stand out to me the most because it showed how when you make up your mind, you can do anything if you really want it. I really wanted to make good grades this semester so I did what it took to get me there.
I can tell you that I had a great semester because I prayed every day to have the motivation to finish out the semester and I utilized the organizations the Lord has given us at BYU to increase our spirituality and intellectual capacities.

In 2010 my Goals are:

  • Read the Book of Mormon every morning and night for a total of 30 minutes
  • Write in my Journal every day and say the things I am grateful for
  • Find ways to serve a stranger every day
  • Remember that I deserve a rest break one day every week to do something fun

What are your goals?
