A Journey into Thought & Spirit

New Years Resolution #3 - Make a Plan & Go For It

Resolution Number One and Number Two are the base to uplifitng the spirit. Those resolutions transform our perspective and focuses on the good things in life. 

Resolution number three focuses on mapping out your year. We tend to do this at work all the time. It's called a quarterly or annual goal. It's so easy to map out our work goals, but for many, it's difficult to make a plan to take of themself. Some people thrive on a rigid plan, others with no plan at all. 

I believe in "flexible plans." I think it's good to set goals, but it's also good to be flexible. For example, something unexpected may come up (good or bad) or your ideas may change in the next six months. But it's still a good idea to have a plan. 


What are somethings you'd like to accomplish? Or have always wanted to do? Why not try something new?

One example that I will share is that I wanted to take a calligraphy class. I love writing and quotes. And after living in Germany, I found a deep appreciation for historic lettering. Last fall I searched for classes. I found a couple that fit my schedule, but the energy in the air was stressful. I needed art more than ever, but felt I couldn't focus on it or give my one-hundred percent. 

So the new year came and I thought about calligraphy classes. Should I do it as a birthday gift? Or should I save money and focus on writing? I took a walk on a 32-degree day in Queen Anne. On the corner of a street that I never go down was a posterboard, marked "free," with three books on them. One book was about the history of lettering and how the Romans got the alphabet. I got so excited over the topic because after discovering how the Romans changed the New Year to January (and named this month because of the two-faced God Janus). I will begin my calligraphy adventure January 16th. 

Pretty much, the writing was on the wall. A message, a sign, whatever you want to call it, some plans take longer to come to fruition. It's why I believe in being flexible, but never losing sight of what you want to do. 

If you need further motivation, read about Belshazzar's feast where we got the term, "the writing is on the wall." Now, the story signifies that danger is present when you "see the writing on the wall," but sometimes this helps us overcome challenges in our life to make room for the new. For example, if you eat high bouts of sugar and your doctor tells you that you are "pre-diabetic," the writing is on the wall that if you continue the same path you'll get Type 2 Diabetes. The message can't be any more clear. 

So dream big, think of what you want to accomplish and think of the mini-steps you need to accomplish your goal. You can't climb Mount Everest without climbing to the peak of various "mini-mountains." Goals are the same.

​Happy planning.

Practicing what I preach □ mapping out #ideas and goals doesn't take long. I do it quarterly of when to focus on that task.

I'm Angel Castor from the US. White Caucasian Female. I'm 43 years old and I got married at the age of 25, I have only two children and I am living happily.

Five years ago, my husband's behavior became so strange that I didn't really understand what was going on. He packed out of the house to another woman’s house and I love him so much that I
never dream of losing him, I tried my best to make sure that my husband got back to me but all to no avail, I cried and cried seeking help. I discussed it with my best friend Alison and she told me she can help me. She told me of a man called Dr. Odunga, she told me he is a very great man and a real man that can be trusted and there is nothing concerning love and Pregnancy issues he cannot solve and she told me how he has helped her and countless number of people in

restoring their relationship. I quickly contacted his email address at [email protected] I explained all my problems to him, he told me that I should not worry that all my problems will be fine. Presently, I am very happy I got my husband back to me with the help of Dr. Odunga and we are living happily with so much love for each other. What-app message/call him at +2348167159012 to help you
