Goals or Wishful Thinking

So now we have come down to the time where everyone begins to think about what they want to do in the next year. I have now come to the conclusion that unless the things you are thinking about are realistic and achievable then there really is no point in pursuing them.

This year my goals are simple...
  1. Do something daily to make my wife's life a bit easier.
  2. Do one thing each day that I wouldn't normally do. (Go out of my way to do something extra)
  3. Cultivate a relationship with my Father in Heaven through prayer and scripture study.
  4. Pray Daily!
  5. Laugh as often as possible.
I hope that each of you will take the time to make goals and to write them down. Doing that is the first step to achieving them. Good Luck!

Seasons of Love

525,600 Minutes! Thats how many minutes there are in one year. Though it seems like alot we don't seem to use them as effectively as we probably could. First off I have to just say that most of the world spends about 174,720 Minutes sleeping. So that brings the total time down to about... 350,880 Minutes that we have to work with in any given year. So take a minute and think back over the last year and just ask yourself "What did I do with that time?" Did you accomplish your goals? Did you do something extraordinary in your life. How much of that time was spent thanking someone or saying hello, or I love you? Even if you only spent 5 Mins every day to do those things you would only use 1,820 Mintes over the whole year.

This year I have been truly blessed. To those who read this I would like to say... "Thank you and I love you."

May the coming year be better that the previous and may you find the joy of life in everything you do.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
