The Three Goals

God, Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to Change the things I cannot accept,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

Serenity Prayer

Change is possible. There are three general areas of my life I have wished to improve upon for a long time. I have worked on each of these three goals for many years,  

focusing on one or another for periods of time. Although I have experienced limited 

success, for the most part I have not been able to obtain my goals. I believe that this is because in focusing on one area I neglect the others. Ultimately I plan to achieve all 

three goals and therefore must change my behavior in all areas to succeed.

So what are my three goals?

Goal 1: Get financially stable
Goal 2: Get healthy
Goal 3: Get organized

I will be posting once a week (probably on Wednesdays) about achieving these goals. In doing so, I hope to keep myself accountable to you, the reader, and to encourage any of you who may share my struggles. The change starts now.

The Start of an Adventure

  As my 33rd birthday draws near, I begin to think about my life.  I have a good life.  I am blessed with an amazing husband and awesome family and friends.  But there are still so many things I wish to change.  Therefore I am setting for myself specific goals, in order to effect this change.  In the following weeks I shall detail my goals and document any progress or set backs.  Change does not happen over night, but it can happen over time with hard work and planning.  Next month I turn 33, my goal is to create a more structured less chaotic life for myself, my husband, and someday my children.  In two years, by the age of 35, I hope to achieve the majority of these goals.  Wish me luck.
