It’s this time of the year again, December, the ending of some things and the beginning of the others. I am finishing the recent planner and preparing to start the next one as I always do in this period of time every year. The process is started by reading and reviewing some parts of the previous ones, choosing what to continue and what not to, and lastly listing goals.
This is the first page of my 2018 planner and it was the first time I put Lifetime Goals. At first, I listed 8 lifetime goals by pencil, then after a while I erased and wrote these sentences instead; “I live my life for others.” in Thai and a quote from Einstein. I did not write them in 2019 planner, it’s not because I changed my mind but simply imprinted them on my heart.
It’s been over a decade that I continue to volunteer regularly even before setting the goal. From basic social actions to formal volunteering programs, not even once I refused to do when I could. I wonder if there is something inside of me attracts these opportunities into my life, or actually it’s me running towards them for my own pleasure.
Whatever will happen and whatever I will make it happen next year, more or less, better or worse, planned or unplanned, I know that they will make this life worth living and I will always be thankful.
Have I planned to update my lifetime goals? Yessss, I am going to insert some words like “love” and “you” .. want to read now?
