As we approach the end of the year I was forced to analyze whether or not I had achieved the goals that I had set for myself and the beginning of the year.  Unfortunately I came up short which is very frustrating since last year I did very well in this area.  However, therein may be the problem.  Could it be that my success in completing last years goals have caused me to let down my guard for the year 2009?  I believe so.  Don’t get me wrong there are a few smaller goals that I set for this year and did very well in achieving them.  Enrolling in pilates, learning to swim and most of all becoming more involved in my personal writing.  I submitted two articles over the summer for publication.  A huge step for me.  But there is one goal that still alludes me.  So the question is do I continue and work towards this goal in the coming year or leave it uncompleted here in 2009? 

     Personally I really don’t think the latter is an option.  I would have liked to be beyond this point in order to focus on other goals for 2010.  So although it may be required of me to put forth more effort next year, God willing, I believe it will be worth it.  So tell me…  What are your goals for the coming year?  Isn’t it time to give it some serious consideration?
