30 Days of Happiness #8, with a picture of a Roman mosaic floor
Given my overarching purpose, as
determined yesterday, of seeking to bring everyone I know closer to his or her
best self with love and gentleness, I have determined that this is what I want
to accomplish this year:
Finish the certification I am
working on and complete an additional certification.
Bring depth, growth, and/or
healing to my relationships.
Stay awake to the daily and
emerging opportunities to create growth.
Making this list was definitely
an exercise for me. I’m
tired. My brain muscles hurt. Unfortunately, brain muscles seem to be
like abdominals, best worked every day.
The exam for the certification I
am working on is in about two weeks (YIKES!). Because the universe has a sense of humor that tends to be
based on timing, here I am making long term goals when I have stated repeatedly
that no big decisions or complicated issues are going to be addressed between
now and then. Ha! This certification has been the result
of more than a year of work, so even though the actual result is happening
soon, I think that completing it counts as a major accomplishment for the
year. However, I am always seeking
the next bunch of lessons, so once the dust settles, I will pursue a weight
loss or behavior modification specialization before the end of the year.
There’s not much to discuss about
the second goal. One of my
motivations in pursuing this challenge is to bring a better self to my
relationships. Here I go.
The last goal might be sort of
cheating, but I made it based on my experience. Some of the best shifts in my life have come from out of
nowhere. Not once did I ever
think, “Gee, I would be super happy if I could facilitate a service learning
community,” or “I would love to be a personal trainer and bring strength to
people so they can transform their lives.” And yet both of those things happened and have been
wonderful. The point is that I
found those opportunities by being awake, by looking around, by staying checked
in. I did it by accident twice;
let’s see if I can make it a habit and something I bring to others.

I don't think that just because your exam is soon it shouldn't be a big goal for the year. This challenge was part of my goals for the year and I'm pumped that I'll be able to check it off my list so soon. Great goals! Thanks for sharing. And good luck on your exams.
