Tomorrow is my 30 birthday. Each year at this time, i like to set goals for the next year. It's nice because the new year is 6 months away (when people normally make resolutions) so it makes that a good time to see where i'm at and change course if need be.
However, i've basically been setting the same goals year after year only to not complete them. If i made a list today, it would be the same list as last year, which was the same as the year before that, and before that. None of that shit ever got accomplished. I made cute little goal trackers in Google Sheets and everything. When it came down to putting in the work, though, it just didn't happen.
I honestly don't know why. I just didn't want it bad enough. Is that an excuse though? Especially because my goals remain unchanged. Apparently it's at least what i think i want. I also tell myself, "maybe i just don't want this." But that seems to be an excuse too.
The thing about my goals is that they're based on a view / version of myself that's not me. It's the person i want to be as opposed to where i'm at right now.
With that in mind, i'm scrapping [most of] the old goals and writing goals based on who i am at this moment.
For the next year, my focus will be on the following:
Mind - 17 books/documentaries
Body - 5000 pull-ups
Assets - To not go further into debt
Relationships - Get married
Karma - "do the right thing" on a daily basis
Soul - meditate for 24 hours
I will blog about it so this won't be the last you here of these goals. I plan to go more in depth in a later post.
