2014 goals

27 January 2014
My Goals for the Year of 2014 In my eyes, a new year means a fresh start and a clean slate for new opportunities, ambitions, and goals. For 2014, I’ve set big and important goals for myself to not only better my life, but the lives of others around me. My goals for this year include having a more positive attitude, keeping a B or higher in AP world and math, and staying more organized. I am hoping to stick with these goals throughout 2014 and for the rest of my life. One of my biggest down sets in 2013 was that I was very negative about every single thing that had crossed my path. I would always get extremely stressed out about homework, soccer, and life situations in general. I could not see things in a positive light no matter how many lectures my parents gave me about life being too short to stress about that small part of my life. I realized then that my parents were right. Life is too short to stress and be negative all the time. I decided that I would make 2014 a year of happiness and positive energy. I wanted to leave all the stresses of 2013 in the past and that is exactly what I did. The something that has changed within me is that I realized only awful things come out of being negative and stressed out. I refuse to feel like I have failed myself every day. I refuse to continue treating the people I love most around me like they were idiots when all they wanted to do was help me. This goal is probably one of my biggest goals I have this year, and it’s also my most important one. In order to stop being negative about everything, I try and find the good in the bad and I reverse my attitude on the situations I encounter, or might encounter in the future. I plan to keep my attitude positive no matter how tough it gets. I know I will possibly have bad days and just feel horrible but I won’t take it out on the people around me like I used to. In the past semesters of school starting at around 8th grade, I felt as if I had
