In 2017 I Want To Discover


For the most part, I usually set goals or resolutions for the new year.

In 2013 I had 18 things I wanted to accomplish.  Just looking at that list I can tell you I bombed it.

In 2014 I set just 10 goals.  Smart thinking on my part.  However, I only finished 1...maybe 2.

In 2015 I took a different approach.  I had just read the book Just One Day, & I'm pretty sure that was the same time I read The Happiness Project.  I decided I wanted to live in the moment more.

Last year I set 3 goals which had sub goals...which really meant I had a shit ton of goals...fail.

So this year I'm saying screw resolutions & goals specifically for 2017.  I already have seasonal goals & my 29 by 29, both of which ultimately come from my 3rd 101 in 1001 challenge.  More things to do & accomplish is not something I need to add to my plate.  I'm going back to picking a theme.  In 2017 I want to discover.

I want to discover more of who I am.

I want to discover what I'm passionate about.

I want to discover a deeper relationship with God.

I want to discover love in every meaning of the word...family, friendship, romantic.

I want to discover the little things in life.

I want to discover the DFW area, & Texas in general.

I guess this could kind of be seen as almost the same as my living in the moment theme.  Ultimately I don't just want to exist this year.  I don't want to get into a funk.  I want to discover new things & live life to the fullest.  4 days in & this year hasn't exactly started the best.  But, I'm not going to let a few days determine my whole year.  Each day is a new chance to discover something new & to start over.

I started a bullet journal this year & the quote at the top is the first page of the journal.
