I had a friend whose goal was to blog something everyday for one year. Hearing that I thought no problem; now, having a blog for several years, I believe that would be near difficult for me. But it will be one of my resolutions this year to blog at least once a month. I like reading blogs that are creative, and as such, one of my goals for my little piece of cyber-space, has been to do something that is creative as well. However, I've learned that I can have moments of creativity, but it only comes at moments when I least expect it, or am looking for it. It's like my habit of reading, which goes in spurts. I will read or listen to books on audio for a month, then not touch a book for a month or two (not good for a guy who sells books). I blame my strong non type-A personality on this.
Resolutions take discipline, which I do not have, but if I put them up here, maybe I can look back in a year and see real progress. For me, resolutions are also hopes, something to look forward to even though it may not happen. I'm driven that way, it helps relieve the daily grind sometimes. I think the following list reflects both ideas of what a resolution is to me. A few of these I already do, but want to take it to the next step.
By years end, I hope to:
1. Exercise 5 days a week
2. Drop 10 lbs.
3. Read the Bible through in a year
4. Read one non-fiction title a month
5. Read through R.T. Kendall's Sermon on the Mount
6. Have put together a photographic themed project
7. Be a better salesman
8. Be in a position of leadership
9. Taken a trip out of the country
10. Visit somewhere west of Nebraska
