Reflect on your personal development goals. What skills or knowledge do you want to acquire?
I really want to stretch myself in the coming year, especially when it comes to trying things I am afraid of and challenging my self-doubt. My confidence took a hit in the first half of this year, but I am going to shake it off and take some time to figure out what I am doing for now. How do I want to grow as a person?
I am going to start taking myself seriously, even if nobody else does. I’ve got to grow a spine when it comes to maintaining my boundaries and looking after this one precious life of mine. (Even if reincarnation turns out to be true, this is still my one life as the person I am now, my one chance in this time, this place, and these circumstances.)
My personal and professional goals are closely tied. I tend to see work as a way to support the rest of my life. The closer my professional life comes to reflecting my personal life, the happier I am. I hope to one day have a profession that doesn’t feel like exile from my real life. I want it to fit in with who I am more seamlessly, instead of being the place I check my personality at the door.
I am the adventurous sort. It’s time for me to embrace the adventure, take a few risks, and become the person I want to be.
