They rarely work and from the majority of <strong>anecdotes </strong>I have read, they merely pay lip service true dedication and commitment.</p>
<p>In spite of or despite the failure of my own annual self-promises in the past, I have decided to post a little list of things I would like to see accomplished in 2010: -</p>
<p><em><strong>Solutions that work</strong></em><br />
All too often I will come up with a great idea that just isn’t practical. It seems as if I’m not the only one with this problem. Just take a look at any government.</p>
<p><em><strong>Maintaining Strength</strong></em><br />
As we get a little bit older, we get weaker. My personal desire is to get stronger mentally as well as physically, in addition to maintaining the great personal characteristics I’ve already cultivated</p>
<p><em><strong>Openness</strong></em><br />
Fear makes us weak. It also makes us narrow-minded and leads us down a blinkered path of monotony. Being more open and receptive to different cultures and places is a good thing.</p>
<p><em><strong>Dedication</strong></em><br />
It’s easy to do something you love but much harder to stay dedicated when it feels as if no one is paying the least bit of attention.</p>
<p>Will I even come close to achieving these goals? I think I can. At the very least I believe that in trying one will become more defined and aware of our surroundings.<br />
Let me hear all of your targets for 2010. Do you think that you can be successful or are you as convinced, as I am that these types of plans always go slightly awry?</p>
