Chris told me that writing down goals increases the likelihood of their accomplishment. So, as part of our New Year celebration, we wrote down some of our goals for 2008. Here are some of mine, in no particular order.
- Travel off the continent
- Write a suite of poems
- Play a show with guitar and poems
- Pay off all debts (excluding student loans)
- Reread: The Iliad, The Odyssey, The Aeneid, Lord of the Rings, Wasteland, Four Quartets
- Poem published in magazine or journal
- Remain aware and thankful of all my changes and growth. Maintain health
- Attend 4 concerts, 4 plays, and 10 literary events
- Perform at poetry event
- Attend a Buddhist religious event and Hindu religious event
- Read five new, good books
- Walk on water (admit failures and inabilities—stay humble)
Sounds like laudable goals. Best of luck!
Thanks Jeffrey! I’ve already read a couple good books. . .
