Life Matters

When I quit my full time job so that I could do livewire, I wrote a post outlining some goals now that I had more time to do things. As it turns out 2007 was one of the best years of my life, and I learnt far more about life and about myself than I ever would have imagined. I highly recommend a year out for any of you, and that you don’t have to believe the lie that you need a career or conventional job to be happy. Still here’s a quick review of last years goals:

Read the bible more - definitely, not through more discipline, but seeing new things about God and wanting too.

Pray more - ditto

Get REAL good at guitar - I got better, but never got lessons

Practice trumpet - deferred (see below)

Get singing lessons - hmmm, might not do

Run twice a week - YES! and more

Pushups/Situps everyday - a bit inconsistent, but yes

I’m still wondering where my life is heading, and it looks like for at least another year I’ll be limited to doing one thing full time. While I don’t want a repeat of the last 6 months of trying to do EVERYTHING I possibly can, and feeling very exhausted and under appreciated in the process, there are a few things I want to make sure I do do:

Practice trumpet

See a councillor

Be cash positive

Program Zest

Spread certain church responsibilites

Love people (ok I’m going to fail, but we’ve all got to try)
