I always say, I'm going to quit smoking.  Of course that never lasts more than a day or two.  I always say I'm going to start exercising more and eating less junk food.  I'm not fat or anything, but I know my lifestyle isn't the healthiest.  Of course I never follow through with that goal.  I am a major proponent of the "I'll start tomorrow" way of thinking. 

As for any especially enlightened goals.....not really.  I want a better job, and I'm looking.  I need to make up my mind whether I want to go back to school for my M.A.  I was dead set on it in 2006, but I changed my mind.  So apparently a flaw of mine is being wishy-washy and indecisive.  I reckon I should work on that.

**Happy New Year! **
Okay I am early.......
 
I don’t believe in resolutions because they have never really worked for me.
In the midst of New Year’s resolutions, promises, lists, hopes and dreams, I want to hear
about your ONE personal goal, challenge or objective for 2009.

The irony in having ONE life changing goal, is that if you accomplish it, normally that ONE goal
could create hundreds of other changes and positive events.
Many underestimate the power of making ONE big change.
Depending on the success of your ONE personal goal, your entire life can be changed.

I have been on and off the path of spirtual enlightenment almost all of my life.
My ONE big personal goal {which I have already started} is to make significant growth on my inner path of spiritual enlightenment.
I realize my journey will last the rest of my life on earth {and into the next world}, so for me 2009 is just the year that I take off on my life’s journey.
A lot of my spiritual growth involves reading material that will assist me in my self-help spiritual path, many ZEN moments, lots of meditation, yoga, and frequent every day rituals and activities that will keep my focused on my center and my path.
I plan to nurture my journey by participating in online and offline workshops with those of a similar mindset. 

I have found a lot of free sources online that are great tools on my path to developing my inner path of Enlightenment.
I have already noticed subtle changes in my persona, and I am at peace with the universe.
{This does not mean the old ME won't come back now and then.
Face it, when this is done, I will turn into one of those people {A new age Hippy}, I just have to resist wearing earth shoes, wearing dresses with sunflowers on it, and saying peace all the time.
If you want to peek at some of the material I am reading, here is a link to a website that is providing me with a lot of resources.  
Self Improvement from SelfGrowth.com
  
Please share, ONE personal goal, challenge or objective that you WILL work on in 2009, that will change your life.
Happy New Year to Everyone!
Peace and Blessings!
Namaste

This is a good time to be a "buyer".
Queen Anne Victorians are beautiful homes!

I hope for all of us, the interest rates stay low for a long time!

Mia...... Yanno I love you to death - but contextually speaking in terms of the Ranger, interest rates don't mean diddly to me. If I can not acquire a property with a cashiers check or wire transfer for the full amount of purchase - There is no purchase.

It's been that way for twenty years.....and its gonna stay that way

Thank you and hugs to you Utopian!

Thank you and hugs to you Utopian!
But many of us are poor folks {like me} and we have to borrow money from "the man",
and lower FIXED interest rates can make many of our dreams come true.
Happy New Year to you, sweetie!
