Aiming For "Best:"

Good, better, best.
Do not rest

Until your good is your better

And your better is your best.

I was reminded of that poem today when I went to church - not saying that I'm on the WRONG track, per se, but everyone can stand room for improvement. Today was one of those days that I got to have a slight reality check & realize some areas that I really need to work on & get back on track on in my life. So, during Sacrament meeting I went over For The Strength of Youth & marked it, read it, and set goals & commitments.

Now, it has been said that sharing your goals helps you keep them. So, here they are:

• Focus on & prioritize giving a full tithe & fast offering
• Pray morning & night daily (I struggle to remember to pray in the mornings)
• Read the scriptures for at least 10 minutes a day.
• Continue Indexing! Try to do a batch a week, possibly.
• Be organized & clean (both with workspace/bedroom, & clean & nice in appearance)
• Cleanliness is close to Godliness
• D&C 90:24

Timed Goals:

1 Week:

• Find another job for during the day
• Have the above listed behaviors put into play
• Limit FB usage so that I am using my time in a more frugal manner.

1 Month:

• Have a figured out budgeting plan & be following it
• Find a source of income for all of my needs (Insurance, Orthodontics, Rent, etc)
• Have a savings plan
• Consider deactivating FB account if you are still struggling with wasting time on it.
• Evaluate goals & adjust if needed.

1 Year:

• Have enough money to return to school.
• Continue evaluating goals & adjusting if needed on a monthly basis.

2 Years:

• Prepare for a mission if you are not pursuing a relationship.
