Lofty unlikely personal Goals for 2010
It’s a new year, new resolutions and attempts at growing into this more incredible person that I should be. This year’s list differs from last years and the previous because it’s based more on what my focus is on now, not what I hoped I would focus on. I can see myself transforming from a young lad into a man and with that my desires have changed slightly. I’m maturing (you’re welcome Mom), still possessing the curious spark of a child but with the perception and wisdom of an adult. Let’s face it, I turn a quarter of a century and while that isn’t old…I expect to be places by the end of this year.
Here’s to hoping for the best and asking God for the patience to deal with the rest. With that, here are 2k10′s New Year’s Resolutions…
- Own less (I admit, I’ve fallen into the cycle of consumerism…this year I want to be more about minimalism)
- Read 3 books (I don’t read so while this may seem like a basic goal its actually fairly challenging)
- Drop the weight to 220ish (part of being a healthier me, I’m a fan of this)
- Go on 5 photo expeditions (Previous expeditions can be seen here)
- Visit the new Yankee Stadium
- Take more action (over just waiting for things to happen)
- Doing more DIY projects…like making homemade Bailey’s Irish Cream (as of 1/4 I just found the recipe…so we’ll see how it works).
- Love wastefully
- Run a 7 minute mile
- Homebrew a killer beer all of my friends will love.
- Surprise someone with a ridiculous amount of love, care and compassion in one event
- Build a stronger walk
- Learn how to throw cards
- Learn 5-10 common phrases in another language…if that works, we’ll expand to 20-30.
- Learn how to juggle…(again, I didn’t really push myself too hard last time)
- Build a lamp
- Buy a house, or move entirely (Newark’s fine but I spend all of my time in Wilmington…I need to either buy a house or relocate)
- Give
- Run 5 miles (straight)
- Run 10 miles (straight, let’s see if the 1st goal works before we get all crazy)
- Take my kayak out at least 5 times
- Expand the Sofa Kings community efforts
