So…
I started 2018 with the vision of a happily married dynamic businesswoman who makes good money and lives in a beautiful house with a tranquil garden. And my mission was to entertain and share my wisdom by writing prolifically and publishing widely.
And I chose the virtues of:
- Wisdom: possibly most important; street smart but flexible and adaptable, dreaming up new ideas for dealing with difficult situations.
- Energy/Positivity: taking care of physical and mental health to maximise my ability to achieve my goals.
- Focus/Discipline: doing one thing at a time, balancing my workload, and managing my time and energy so I get the right things done at the right time.
- Friendship: open and honest in my dealings with others.
- Prosperity: making money, but valuing time and health.
Wisdom
My goal was to learn and grow every day, by reading widely and learning new and interesting facts.
Mid-Year: Was happily ahead of my reading target (a book a week), and felt like it was making a difference. Rating: 🙂
Year-End: I beat my target ( 🙂 ), and I still think it’s making a difference. Rating: 🙂
Energy
Energy was about wellness: eating, moving, and sleeping for maximum wellness, along with achieving the medically suggested weight goal (59 kg). Plus developing a more dynamic and creative, practical and workable
Mid-year: Didn’t lose weight, but did plan some wardrobe changes. Rating: 😐
Year-end: gained weight, and had some clothes made. Rating: 😐
Focus
Mid-year: I found that reporting on my business goals distracted me from my life goals, so I decided to stop reporting on them. Rating: 🙁
Friendship
Friendship was about meeting new people, and sharing my knowledge, time and money with those who need it.
Mid-year: hadn’t done much about meeting new people, but had shared my knowledge widely. Rating: 😐
Year-end: still haven’t met many new people, but I’m still sharing. Rating: 😐
Prosperity
This one was going back to the beginning, with a nice balance of time, money and happiness – feeling wealthy and a happy household.
Mid-year: we had time and happiness, but a lack of money prevented progress on some of our projects. Rating: 🙂
Year-end: we’ve finished some of those projects, and are starting to think about what’s next. Rating: 🙂
Overall
I think I’ve made some progress, but I think there could have been more. though it’s hard to get over Mum’s death only to have to deal with Jack’s.
It begs the question about whether some of my goals were the right goals at the right time. Or were important enough to really care about.
