This time of year many people are thinking about resolutions for 2011. The idea behind the traditional idea of making new year's resolutions is good, but I never make them. Mostly because I do not like the word resolution. While the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of resolution - a formal expression of opinion, will, or intent ... - is not particularly bothersome, I still associate the word with all the resolutions made year in and year out that are forgotten after a few months. In other words, I associate new year's resolutions with failure which is not something I typically seek out. Instead of resolutions I like to set goals. I like goals because I focus more on the work that goes into achieving them than the actual end result. A much more positive idea, I think.For 2011, I have set a few goals for myself. Things I want to accomplish, experience, or work during the year. I plan to update the blog with my progress, so stick with me to see how I do.
