So since the beginning of this year, I've literally wanted to do something that I've been thinking of doing for YEARS. I guess in a way, I've had other things I had to do first before I can get this underway & today, well I just got started on this new project which was longggg overdue! But it was successful. With the help of a mentor, I'm actually quite excited! Only a few people know of what is in the works but the rest of you will find out, once it's finished. All I can say is that once this project of mine is completed, I will be one proud mommy & wife! 

For anyone who's been wanting to start something but don't know where to start? Do your research. It helps spending at least an hour on the internet looking up all the knowledge you can get to push your goals of what you wish to accomplish. Ask people, having contacts or getting in contact with people is another great way to get some answers or directions of where you should go. Believe in yourself , you can't get to where you want to be if you don't believe in YOU. Last but not least, START! Each dream or goal starts by a single step.

Where do you see yourself?

When I was a teenager, I remember what I said to myself. I was going to graduate highschool, get a job, travel at least to a different country then be married & settle down by 25 (because 25 seemed like a halfway mark) That was my future goal that I had set just before I graduated in 2007. Did I accomplish those goals? Well.... kinda. Hahaha. I graduated highschool, I went straight into work & managed to get promoted to management. I did travel to America to visit family & have a little vacation. I gave birth to a bright little boy at 24 years old & I had just recently gotten married at 26. I just missed the age 25 mark but all that was said, was done. I am quite pleased with how far I have gotten with goals I had set then. Now I'm on to bigger goals that I wish to accomplish with my little family as well as individual goals I have set for myself.

Setting goals does help in many ways. It's a great way to see how far you can go in life with what you wish to accomplish. It's also great for self improvement.  I'm not saying I'm the best at setting goals because believe me, I have times I slack off but this is merely to state, that if you wish to accomplish things, start by setting out your short term & long term goals. It could be anything you want, whether it be health, spiritual, peronal or even work related goals. You will find that having goals makes things easier for you & once you have reached your goal, there's no greater feeling, than feeling accomplished.
