After editing my goals and tightening their focus, three major goals and a few minor goals remained. I want to run a sub four hour marathon by the end of the year, rid myself of credit card debt burden, and help my cousin get her business idea into a functioning business. Smaller goals I pursue are quick and simple. They are the small things that bring balance and harmony in my life such as improving the quality of sleep, keeping my personal space clear of clutter, and sketching blueprints for my future endeavors.
Getting under four hours involves a whole new set of changes from me. I need to be more dedicated to my chosen sport. I have to learn a new way of training to get faster. The unhealthy weight needs to be stripped away slowly. Shedding the unhealthy weight requires to shift into a healthy diet and spend more time creating a healthy calorie deficit. I believe losing weight will be my biggest challenge while I live with my parents. Taking small baby steps will get me there.
After the treatment some credit card companies treated me and after reviewing my credit card statements, I decided to become more active eliminating my debt. Some banks treated me well by keeping my interest rate low. Others decided to raise the interest rates and cut my credit limit. I do not want to carry that burden of debt anymore. My goal is to eliminate at least $10,000.00 in debt this year.
JR approached me with an idea she had last fall. I thought it had potential and told her to start exploring it. I asked coworkers what they thought of the idea and they loved it. As friends of dog owners, I can see her idea thrive as a profitable business. I want to turn her dream into a reality.
How do you eat an entire elephant? One bite at a time. This is how I will be approaching my goals.
