New Years Goals/Resolutions

I'm not very good at keeping resolutions, however I am better at setting and attaining goals. A resolution too often turns out to be a wish that doesn't or can't come true. A goal can be more easily reached by identifying the steps necessary to reach the goal. As a result I am not making any resolutions this year, instead I am going to set some goals.

• Goal #1- I will lose 20 pounds this year. I have several incentives. My daughter is getting married and I want to look good for her. And I have a really nice suit hanging in the back of my closet that I want to wear again. Aside from that, I'll probably be healthier and my doctor will be pleased.
• Goal #2- I will finally completely organize my garage. Even if it means taking vacation time to do. Most of the stuff my kids had stored there is gone and the rest is pretty manageable.
• Goal #3- I will exercise 3-4 times a week starting today. This should help me in the weight loss, but should also give me increased stamina and more energy.
• Goal #4- I will commit myself to the spiritual disciplines of prayer, bible reading and worship. The difference will be personal spiritual growth rather than just professional growth.

How about you? Do you have any goals you'd like to pursue in 2007?
