Discussing My Goals

I've been looking back over my goals from the last six years, which has been really interesting.  There have been some which I've completely failed at - two years of 'I will do some art' I'm looking at you - and some which have been a great success: reading more and widely has had a major impact, as has the year I challenged myself to try twelve new things, and discovered the joy of crafts. 

I've also spent a year doing a monthly photographic post, plus one year's worth of journalling about being a pastoral assistant.  Both of which I completed, but decided I didn't want to pursue.

When I originally set my goals back in 2014, I was looking to do things which would stop me stagnating, and I'm delighted that they have done that.  Even if I haven't fully achieved what I set out to do each year, I did more than I would have done otherwise.

I shall be setting my seventh year of goals next month.  I think they will be variations on a theme.  I shall of course keep the same first goal: to Write All The Things, because I still think it's important to write out of my immediate comfort zone.  Even if not a great success, it's going to improve my general writing.
