In 2006

February 5, 2006

I’m not the type to do new year’s resolutions; a few disappointing December 31sts led me to skip the tradition over the past few years.

In 2005 I went through some of the biggest changes of my life. I’ve been taking a lot of time to reflect upon who I am, who I want to be, and where I want to go in the future. All of the thinking led me to make some goals and principles for 2006; they’re not really resolutions, but they’re more guidelines to think about throughout the year. You’ll most likely notice that most of what I say and do will reflect these principles. In the interest of organization (who, me?), I’ve broken them down into a couple categories.

I want to BE…

  • less rushed
  • less stressed
  • less attached to the computer
  • less obsessive (about some things)
  • less worried about the little things in life
  • more patient
  • more outspoken
  • more social with friends
  • more responsive to people
  • more diversified and open to new things
  • honest
  • creative
  • true to my morals and beliefs

I also want to…

  • travel more and farther
  • find new things that I enjoy doing
  • do more things that allow me to meet new people
  • do more things that I want to do, no matter what other people say
  • complete better Web projects
  • photograph more (and possibly create a business)
  • take my best-ever photograph
  • show people why I respect them
  • show people why they are valuable
  • breathe more
  • change the world (and/or save it)
