Hey Y'all. It is New Year's Eve in New Orleans and I have decided that I am going to write out a few of the goals I have fro the new year. In 2011 I learned a lot about myself. I have grown in my Independence making bigger commitments to my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ. I have made bigger steps to a professional career, choosing now to pursue another degree- my PHD. I have made better decisions regarding my friendships and the relationships I not only choose to get involved in but also commit to. You have followed me through my ups and downs with my parents and their lives, even though you might at this point still not think that I have told you anything. I have learned to be independent outside of them and the mistakes that they have made.
In 2012, I will be 27. I hope to continue on the path that I am on.. Here are the goals I have set out to commit to:
Spiritual Goals:
I want to continue to strengthen my relationship with God. I have been planted into a great church in The City. I am choosing to stay committed to this Church. For 2012 I want to build my knowledge in the bible and continue to grow in the Word. Building the trust and love that I have begun to work on already.
/Personal:
I want to build more confidence in myself. Starting with how I look and what I feel about the way I look (weight). I am going to continue to live the PGS lifestyle and just be happy with where I am at.
Emotional Goals:
I think over the years I have been strengthened in my emotional path. I have become more open in what I want out of life and what I continue to seek in terms of emotional support. Especially when it comes to my past, I continue to push myself to talk about the experience and what it means to me.
Financial Goals:
I am going to be 27, with a Master's Degree and a WHOLE lot of debt. The goals for 2012, are to continue to be more mindful of the money I spend. To save money for my first house and my first car. I want to be able to pay off my loans by the time I am 35 (ambitious yes, but I have goals. I want to be married by the time I am 35 and I would like that life to be debt free as I start). I want to build myself into a more stable financial place. Away from the mistakes of my parents and close family, and continue to be an example for the rest of the family as I create my new life.
Career Goals:
I know that I need to find a job when I graduate, my goal is that the first job I land is rewarding. An experience that I learn from and grow from. One that will continue to build my brand and teach me more about myself and put me on the path to pursue the lifelong dreams that I have had in my past.
Love Goals:
That sounds awkward writing it out. For 2012, I am into pursuing love. I want to be married, I want to have a family. So this year I will increase my opportunities and put myself out there. That means attending Happy Hours (no drinking - New Year's Resolution), Networking events and other activities. I don't expect the first relationship I land to be one that is THE relationship but I want something good to come out of it. The qualities I am looking for: someone patient, kind caring. Funny, God fearing. Confident, loving family oriented. Sports fan (doesn't have to be on my level), likes to travel, spontaneous and just exciting. I want someone who can make me laugh at the right moments, and make me feel like the world is my oyster as well. And someone who is just worthy of my love. I have a lot to give and I am so excited to be able to share it with someone else.
See you in the new year!
Love y'all
