• Goals 2010

  yes. i write goals every year. lotsa goals. because i do. because i like it. because i think that the things i want to accomplish are related to my desires. and my desires are related to my passions and who i am. and putting them on paper helps make them real. even if i have found on average it takes 5 good goals to accomplish one thing. (not a proven statistic. yet.)
