Success
is...knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and
sowing seeds that benefit others. ― John C. Maxwell
Now that everyone knows their purpose, it is time to start writing 2019
goals. As I started contemplating what I
wanted to accomplish this year, I started thinking about what I accomplished in
2018. For me, my life allowed for a stretch
goal that allowed me to increase my knowledge and read all of the books in my
book pile that I had been wanting to read for years. When I started writing my goals for 2019, I
started thinking about how many books I wanted to read, how many podcasts I
wanted to listen to and what other activities/tasks/adventures I wanted to
experience.
One day, I was scrolling through articles and I found one discussing
Meghan Markle’s new years resolutions. The
article included the following statement that Markle included on her website at
the beginning of 2016, which was the year she met Prince Harry:
For
this new year, the only thing I aim to do is to approach life playfully. To
laugh and enjoy, to keep my standards high but my level of self-acceptance
higher. My New Year’s resolution is to
leave room for magic. To make my plans, and be okay if they sometimes break. To
set my goals, but to be open to change.
This statement spoke to me because I
want to set goals in 2019, learn as much as I possible can and be a better
individual at the end of the year.
However, I also need to make sure that my life is not to structured
allowing for the “magic” to happen. Next
week, I will talk about how I set my goals to focus on accomplishing my dreams
and allowing for “cushion” so that magic can happen.
