16 in 2016 Goals

Instead of focusing on how much we failed last year, let’s just move forward! :P I know not everyone likes to set resolutions or goals at the beginning of January, but I love making lists, and I love the feeling of a clean slate. I may only finish half of my goals for the year, but I know that putting them down on paper (or on the internet) helps me achieve way more than if I were to keep them to myself. So here we go again! Cheers to 2016!!

If I were to pick a word for next year, I would pick BRAVE. If you see below, I’m doing a few things that are way outside my comfort zone (ie. #6 and #9). I feel like the older I get, my list of fears grows and in greater intensity. Where did these fears come from? Whatever happened to the carefree girl playing in the mud and climbing trees and houses in a dress?

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. - Nelson Mandela Quote on Courage.Pin
