This past year was awesome. It really was.. Well 3/4 of it. The year started with me being the same old Colby. The year ended with me working in a crazy new job at a treatment center. With me living in St. George. And it also ended without me being single and an awesome kiss overlooking St. George! Not a bad way to finish a really unexpected New Years. And for once this New Year I think i finally understand what all the fuss is about. We have so much to be excited about next year and I can't wait to get started.
Goal Time. Most people suck at setting goals. It's true. Did you know that "get in shape", "get married"(probably most BYU student's current goal), "Work hard in School" etc... None of those are goals. They are just words. A goal is measurable, it is achievable, but should stretch you. Good goals develop habits. And promote change or growth. Here are mine. And hopefully this will be the best year of your life because I know it will be mine.
Mind
- Speak/Read Haitian Creole once a week. Learn one word a week. That is it. Just once Easy Peasy!
- Learn one new song on the guitar each month.
- Let's Keep it simple. Work out for at least 15 min 3 times a week.
- Play more soccer. How? Play at least once a month.
- Read the scriptures 10 minutes a day at least 5 times a week! A certain person can hold me accountable with that. Also read the New Testament this year.
- Be temple worthy all year. Easy but crucial. Go to the temple once a month. It is so close!
- Practice better money management. Every Pay check 10/10/10. Tithing 10%. Invest 10%. Save 10%. Easy enough.
- Learn one new cooking skill or recipe a week! I love food this should be easy.
Bring it 2014. Let's GO!
