To Do:

I realized while I was listening to a youth speaker in church last week, that I sometimes set my goals too high. I can be too hard on myself at times. I am patient though... well sometimes. I hope that I am not hard on others. I try not to be. I have been told I am patient, but sometimes I think I am not. Others times I am sure that I am. So this year I will try to:

Set smaller goals. After listening to the youth's speech, I am sure I can do this, and accomplish more.

Not hate my sketches, doodles or writings just because they did not turn out as I expected. I actually do better work when I don't care how things turn out... or at least I think it is better....

Be more patient with others, because I believe that you can never really be patient enough. However I will not allow others to walk over me, which never has seemed to be much of a problem, since I will often say what is on my mind if I feel threatened. I do pick my battles.

To continue expanding my mind through literature and music, etc.

To be my own person, which I feel I do quite well at anyway.
