Inspired by Jon Acuff's blog I have decided that I too would like to enjoy a "Finish Year".
I had already set some goals for this year before I ever found Jon Acuff.
Now, however, I am transitioning to a "finish year" set of goals. I am determined not to have written goals that don't mean anything... I am determined now that I am going to have goals that I am able to finish. So the first inspiration that I received from Jon was to write goals for the year that I am able to finish.
Another important piece of inspiration that I gained from Jon was found in his own finish year blog. Jon's sixth goal is, "I am going to finish handwriting out the entire book of Proverbs in a moleskine notebook."
From this entry, I too have been inspired to also handwrite the entire book of Proverbs. I want to write this out for my son in a journal that I can deliver to him, hopefully on his 12th or 13th birthday as he transitions into manhood.
Here are my goals for the remainder of the year:
1. I am going to take my wife out for at least 6 dates (one per month in the last 6 months of the year).
2. I am going to finish handwriting the book of proverbs in a journal that I can later give to my son.
3. I am going to get my weight down to 195 lbs while maintaining or gaining muscle mass.
That's it for now (I reserve the right to add some more goals later). I plan to check in each Sunday and post my progress in each of these areas.
