To aim is not enough.. You must hit.

As the year continues, the thing I need to do keeps on piling on, such as study for tests, work nonstop to make as much money as I can, squeeze in time for whatever sport Im in at the time, and also have time for friends. This actually is my typical day for the entire year for me; kind of uneventful. The things that do force me to change my routined life is my new year's resolutions that I set for myself each year.

Me starting my yearly goals actually started last year, but I plan to set new ones from now on. Last year's was not to eat McDonald's for a year. That was hard for me because I work there and I love the food. This year's is that I have to have some kind of physical activity every weekday in the summer. This might sound nerdy of me to have little goals but nonetheless I like to have goals in general for some reason.

My little goals and me finishing them make me reflect back and notice that I accomplished something this year. Even though everyone finished tons of things each year, New Year's Resolutions are noticed more from me for some reason. Also, it forces me to manage my time better, breaking my routine day which was mentioned before. Decreasing time I have to do each thing in the day increases my organizational skills personally. Also, whatever you accomplish helps you directly of course too. For me, not eating McDonalds and working out intensely has made me healthier. Some people plan to be nicer, volunteer places each week, or whatever. It will personally help you succeed what you want.

I know this isn't for everybody because some don't have the ambition or some are really busy, but forcing yourself to find time for your goal makes this task part of your routine in life if you continue to do it long enough. I had tons of friends say something like, "Wow, I wish I was driven to do something like that." Most of the people that say that are too lazy to find a goal and finish it, not that they can't, they just don't want to spend the extra time doing something foreign and unneeded. Well, for me, my goals help a lot in the long run with my fitness personally. Long-term passion is what people can't see because, "It doesn't work within a week" or "Nothing is in it for me" or "It's not helping me yet". I think it's common sense why goals are helpful.
