12 months of goals-

I've taken the challenge given to us by Melissa to set 12 goals- for a  "Beautiful Life."

I was needing something to get me on the right track this year and focus on what matters most- and I think this will be fun to do.

For January- I've chosen  "Balanced Living" {it is one Melissa has also- but it also goes with what I what to accomplish this month- and all the others I've chosen work together in completing my goals.}

Once a week I will share what I'm doing to help  reach my goals.

For this month the things I want to start "balancing" are

• the scale
• time
• service
• work/play
• emotions

 

January:   Balance living-

 In all things find your balance-

February:  Perseverance-

History rests on the shoulders of those who accepted the challenge of difficulties and drove through to victory in spite of everything. – Hugh B. Brown

March:   Change

Embrace, encourage, and allow.

April:     Remember

To retain in the memory; keep in mind; remain aware of:

May:     Family

“Other things may change us, but we start and end with Family.” –Anthony Brandt

June:   Time

    Time to listen and to comfort, time to learn and to encourage- remind myself often that… “Things that matter most should not be left to the mercy of things that matter the least.”- O. Leslie Stone

July:   Fun

Yes, just have some.

August:   Service

God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. -Spencer W Kimball

September:  Priorities

Progress comes as we are able to give up something for something we want more.

- Marvin J. Ashton

October:  Home

Refinement and beauty, good music and art, of loving- to make it a happy place for my Grandchildren, husband and children.  “Home is really only the feeling between husband and wife- how they feel about one another and God.  Home isn’t the house, for the house can still be there when home is gone.

  -Rex C. Reeve

November:   Kindness

Kindness has many synonyms- love, service, charity. But I like the word kindness because it implies action.  It seems like something you and I can do. - Betty Jo Jepsen

December:    Joy

Pleasure usually takes the form of. “me” and “now,” while joy is “us” and “always.” 

-Neal A. Maxwell

I'm sure most of these subjects will over lap into other months- but I want to make sure to implement them often and not just on that particular month.

 Join with me and share the ways you are making your life Beautiful- go here  on Friday and add your link to Melissa's Mr Linky-

Love your list, and I'm sure you guys will help me become a better person from your example. If I made a list it would not look as beautiful. good luck

great list of things to focus on each month. Sounds like Melissa is a very "inspiring" woman. :)

I definitely need to look at balancing my life.
Between family and work there leaves little time to reflect, but I agree with you, it is important to take the time to assess what is important.
Thank you for the reminder.
