New beginnings

At the end of 2009 we all looked back and had a host of things to be grateful for, some were what we set out to achieve and some were pure co-incidences and situations that we found ourselves in and looking back you cant help but be thankful of what happenned.

20 Turn is here people, it is the 6th day of the year, and what do you intend on turning around in your life and is there any order of how you want things turned?

Some people call these New Year's resolutions, but I like to term it new beginnings. Where one decides at any stage, it does not have to be the first day of each year, what they set out to reach after a certain time has elapsed.

I always think about setting my goals at the beginning of each year, but only affirm them all on my birthday..... The only good thing about being born in the first month of the year, is that the time it takes from thinking about my goals for the year and affirming them is a few days.

How often do you set goals in your life and challenge yourself to try something new /wild ?
How do you go about setting your new beginning, do you keep a journal, write them on a piece of paper that will get lost, or just have them engraved in your heart?
Are they based around your spirituality, family, career, self ?
Do you share them with anyone?

What are your goals for this period, if you dont mind sharing with bloggers

NB: For those that plan on rushing to say they dont think about new beginnings/make any resolutions at whatever point, it would only prove that they have no goals, and set to achieve nothing for the year, and come the end of a certain period will have nothing to assess themselves on.

often

How do you go about setting your new beginning, do you keep a journal , just have them engraved in your heart?

take an honest look at my life and id where i need to focus to get to point B- sometimes i keep a journal but most of the time not because its something that is very close to my heart

Are they based around your career, family, spiritual, self?

like i said my life (and my life has all these dimensions and more)

Do you share with anyone?

sometimes- it depends on the topic we are discussing but not to a point where i share "everything" i only tell bits because there are things you should not say especially when you want them to happen as sometimes your seed (plans) can fall in the wrong ears, ears of the destroyer)

happy 2010 nice

well well well.....resolutions....or is it new beginings. Personally I think it's a good thing to set yourself goals and all that. I also believe that it shouldn't just be for that current year....it's your life after all, structure it in a way that will work for you personally....not ukuthi you have to make changes or whatever in that particular year....it could be in 3 months....which brings me to my next point....I think we should set our goals...even as resolutions and have a time frame around them...saying gore when we want that to be achieved....that way I think we will achieve more on time and have things that make sense in our lives.

How do you go about setting your new beginning, do you keep a journal , just have them engraved in your heart?

I do have my own and I keep them engraved in my heart as they are mine and there's no need to boast about them unless I need assistance in making them happen.

why do u live if u dnt have goals/resolutions/new beginnings in life, its something that everyone must have.

well for me im looking forward some changes in my life, somehow i want to belong(dnt ask me where) bt yeah, thats how it is. But the big change is i want to end 20 turn in the drivers seat of my beautiful car, not in the passengers seat. and u know what it will happen!!!!!................lol

On new year, on my birthday, and when something happens any time during the year, that requires me to have a look at my life with different eyes.

How do you go about setting your new beginning, do you keep a journal, write them on a piece of paper that will get lost, or just have them engraved in your heart?

Because I dont like it when people get too much in my personal thought, I usually keep them in heart, and if I write them down it will be on some piece of paper that gets thrown in the bin.

Are they based around your spirituality, family, career, self ?

They revolve around all of the above, and make an effort that they dont just focus on one aspect of me.

Do you share them with anyone?
Depends on what they are about, if I believe that someone can help me /motivate me to achieve them I would share. Its like putting positive pressure on myself.

One of my goals this year is to take better care of myself, and in the process use my medical aid. I will be visiting a few specialist for random check ups.

happy 2010 nice

thank you blueroze, and to you too.......may it be a fruitful one.

@farai, it adds something worth remebering the year by...........like 2008, it was a great year for me, great things happenned in my life that year and 20 years when I looks back I will remeber what those great thing were and associate them with a year of greatness.

2009, was mine, as I really spent more time doing things for me, and just me.

I am hoping to turn, a lot of things again this year............see my point

The other years before that were just in numbers as they are and am finding it difficult to look back and think of what I did.

But the big change is i want to end 20 turn in the drivers seat of my beautiful car
@LG, good luck lady and I hope you have a licence ne

New beginnings: I have already reached a goal in this 6th day, how Nice.

Long-term goal is to have a business_this good morning colleagues thing_it must not be forever.

Currently, I just love life and choose to be positive and face hardships as challenges.

Good one Nice...

i do make certain goals that i want to achieve, and along the way i add or change or scratch some, it depends on what was the whole purpose and what is happening at that point .... i do revisit all my goals, chack how far i have gone to achieve them twice a month .... Some i do share with certain ppl, some are just between me and God....

To me it is good thing to set goals ad try everything to achieve them and there is nothig compares to the feeling you get everytime a certain goal come to pass, you scratch out on the request board and you write in down on the praise board and it is also wonderful to have certain achievements in the praise board that you didnt even have in your request board...

This year apart from other goals i have, i just want to have fun and trvell more than i did last year... but this world cup thing will delay some of my travell arrangements since things are gonna be a bit expensive for half a year
