January 17th was Official Day to Drop Your New Year's resolutions

There I was at Koffi and asked a friend how it was going. "Well, I sold my house, moved into an apartment and will buy again later. Once I get settled I need to write down my goals."

Yeah goals are good I said. He pointed out he had written down his goals for that year every year for about 10 years now. By the way, for those of you who set New Year's resolutions, I heard on TV the other day that January 17th is the official day each year to give them up. Wow, we have an actual calendar day to "GIVE UP."

What is so important about this guy telling me he writes down his goals each year? Well, he went on to say that he wrote down thirteen (13) of them for last year. He reached TEN (10) of them! "Ten," I said. He said yep he had reached ten and told me some of them reached and not reached. They were not things like drink less tea or coffee. They were life altering or life enriching goals and he had kept TEN of them.

"OMG, you need to be written about or have a blog about that because it is really great you can accomplish that for yourself." I think he probably reached those goals because of many things. Most important was that he wrote them out and probably how he would reach them.

So, I suggest you write down your goals for this year if you have not already done so. I know that is what I intend to do this week. Well, that's my goal anyway.
