Goals achieved?
Apr. 14th, 2015 09:46 pmIt's been a year since I set myself three goals, so time for an appraisal.
Goal One: Write all the things. Yep, more than I expected - more than most people expected. No, I did not expect to slash Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. On the other side, I've written for The Crucible, Clarissa and Red Dragon. And even more importantly, I've enjoyed it immensely.
Goal Two: Survive a year on the PCC without getting sucked into anything else. Not a success. I volunteered to help with Family Service, which I'm enjoying so that's positive, even if not within my goal. But I didn't stick out the year with the PCC, having decided I really didn't want to go to the last two meetings.
Goal Three: Learn some German. Partial success. I did learn some before we went on holiday - the main aim, but did not continue with it.
I think it would be easy to let what is clearly only a 50% success rate get to me. But I tried, some things didn't work out. And, more importantly, had I not had those goals even what I did achieve would not have happened.
I was thinking I might not bother with making goals for another year, but on reflection, they did help, so maybe I should find some new goals for this year. Any suggestions?
