"New Year Resolutions"

Every New year we seem to make a list of our Resolutions but do we follow up with the ones we made last year? I've been thinking about this a lot. I had posted up on my wall some goals I had set last year and I must say I did achieve some of them. It made me happy to see that my list wasn't all in vain but this year I'm gonna try to make little goals to help me reach my bigger goals that take time to reach. Sometimes when we look at all the goals as a whole we can get overwhelmed and discourage that's why I decided to make little ones to help me reach the bigger goals.

See my ultimate goal this year is to embrace the happy moments and don't let the hard or sad moments drag me down. I know this is a big goal that is determined by my everyday mood and attitude. Sometimes in life you can't help but go through rough experiences and those experience helps us grow and learn. But we also have to take the time to feel it and then let it go and move on. One of my little goals that will help me with my ultimate goal is reading my scriptures or reading uplifting things that will help motivate me to have faith and trust in Our Savior. So that's was just a brief example of using the little goals to help reach your bigger goals.

Here comes the List... Oh how overwhelming.... lol
