Today I am thankful for goals..
Well it takes me a thirty minute car ride to get to work, now as much as it is a huge pain in the butt it is pretty nice because it gives me plenty of time to think. Lately on my car rides I've been thinking about goals I have for myself. The first goal I have is to get into the LDS business college and get my business degree. The weird part is for a good three years I have been set on being a teacher, the more I think about it though I think my personality would do better in business. Also my lack of any kind of patience for anything in life might not be the best for a teaching career. I want to go into business because that is something I have actually always understood and found interesting. To be honest I never thought of myself ever getting excited for school, but for some reason I feel like getting my education is very important to me and something I want for myself. My next goal would be to get a better job than what I have now, it might sound crazy but working in a restaurant isn't the most ideal job. I would absolutely love to have a nine to five job, and also a job where I look a little bit more experienced than just being able to take an order. I would love something that would give me a challenge and keep me busy. The next goal is to be a little more patient with life, I have a tendency to want everything in life to happen when I want it too. I think I am getting better at realizing that things are better when they come when they are supposed to. Even though we might think we are ready for something in life Heavenly Father knows a little more than we do. So I would love to be able to let things happen when they are supposed to rather than when I want them. Goal number four is to find a man that can someday take me to the temple. Not only take me to the temple but to also just be my best friend to go through life with. I want someone that loves me as much as I love them, someone who cherishes me. I want someone that is funny but can also be serious when it comes need be. I have realized that if a guy really likes you, you never have to ask yourself "well does he like me?" I think he likes me because he said this and did this. I know that when the right guy comes around I will never have to ask that I will just know, and my patriarchal blessing said I would too. My second to last goal is to finish The Book of Mormon, it's just one of those things where I either need to put more effort into finishing this goal or I just really love reading first Nephi over and over again. Maybe to feel less guilty about never reading The Book of Mormon all the way through I'll just go with the second one. Last but not least my last goal is to make it a daily habit of reading my patriarchal blessing once a day and praying twice a day. This one is very important to me because I want to start good habits that way I can pass them along when I get my own family and to show my kids that prayer is important. I think it is important that we set goals for ourselves so that we are always trying to better ourselves. To become a better person in small steps, I am thankful for goals because it keeps me on the right track and reminds me what is important to me in life. That is why today I am thankful for goals and the blessings they bring along with them.
