Personal Goals

Are You Tired of Your Life? 

Or Are You Sick of  Your Bad Habbits?

This Is What You Can Do: Set a Goal and CHANGE!

Goals don't necessarily have to be lofy, but they have to be something you will DO! 

     I used to have lofty goals, such as being a prestigious hair designer, a gallant police woman, a successful entrepreneur or a famous celebrity. But now, from a young adult’s perspective, my point of view towards goals have become more realistic. As I cannot predict my future, my current personal goal is to strive to be better every day as a role of a daughter, a friend and as a follower of God.

     As a daughter, I want to please my parents in everything. However, laziness took over my obedience to my parents. I used to be very lazy when it came to doing household chores with my parents, such as washing dishes, cleaning rooms and sweeping the floor. I naturally formed a habit of coming up with excuses when my father asked me to do something. For example, I would say: “I am busy with my homework now. I will clear my room tomorrow.” Unfortunately, “tomorrow” never came. But in the new year of 2011, I want my obedience to overwhelm my laziness. I will listen to my parents’ words and will instantly act upon them so that I can be a responsible daughter who is willing to take a larger role in household matters.

     As a friend, I plan to spend more time with all the friends I’ve made during my time at school. My task-orientated personality sometimes made me neglect the importance of spending time with friends; nonetheless, hanging out with friends is very important to maintain a close friendship. I have a very good friend called Yana. We used to hang out a lot back in grade 9, a time when both of us were not that busy. However, the busier our timetables became, the more alienated our friendship was. Now, I even have some trouble carrying on the conversations due to the lack of topics that we share. Therefore, this year, I will try my best to have a breakthrough in my self-centeredness. I want to be a loving and true friend, a friend that spares time for friends.

     As a follower of Lord Jesus Christ, I am determined to devote myself to God everyday through constant prayers. Sometimes I used to feel that talking to God is like talking to myself because God is invisible. But God makes me realize that faith is not to be certain in what you can see, but to be faithful in what you cannot see because “what you can see is temporary but what you cannot see is eternal” (New International Version, Co. 4.18). Depending on the verse in Bible, I am willing to take a leap of real faith. Thus, in this new year, I will turn prayer into a conversation with my Father in heaven, a conversation that establishes intimacy with God.

Now, I have shared about my goals, how about YOU?
