November Goals



I’ve been thinking quite a bit about the things I want to accomplish this month.  There’s just so much that needs to be done in preparation for the holidays – both Thanksgiving and Christmas.  But, I don’t want to lose focus on my internal growth.  So, one of my goals is to revamp my weekly list of goals to make sure that I keep those things I’m working on at the forefront of my mind.  I think I do pretty good at keeping my moodiness in check and my emotions under control when I’m actually thinking about it.  It’s when I get tired and frustrated that my good intentions seem to go right out the window.

So, without further ado… my list of goals:


  • Do cardio at least once a week and a muscle workout at least twice a week.  With the cooler weather I’ve already gotten too comfortable eating pasta.  Luckily it’s the season for baggy warm sweaters.  
  • Plan my Thanksgiving meal, snacks, and family activities.
  • Get my home ready for company. 
  • Revamp my weekly list of goals to ensure that I continue to work on my internal growth projects.
  • Fall cleaning – get rid of that clutter!
  • Find some good Thanksgiving movies. 
  • Figure out what my triggers are when it comes to being emotionally immature.
  • Play tourist while places are decorated for the holidays.
  • Get at least half way through my book on morals/values.  The book is huge!

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something.  In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are.  Remember you are not alone.  Struggling is a part of being human.  Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have.  Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better.  You are better today, than you were yesterday.  Just keep going!  Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.

Why Do People Do What They Do?

Last week, I attended a client meeting with several of my co-workers.  During said meeting, one of my co-workers, and good friend, got up to get water for our guests from a mini fridge in a cabinet located in the meeting room.  But, she wasn't really quiet or discrete about it, and proceeded to slam the cabinet doors, while our guests were speaking. Maybe it's because I've lived in an apartment for too long, and the sound of my neighbors slamming their doors and kitchen cabinets has become a big pet peeve of mine.  But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude.  It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats.  Reasons range from anger, lack of awareness, laziness, selfishness, bad manners, and lack of consideration for others.  I immediately did some self-reflection.  While I'm pretty good about not...
