Massage Matters in 2011

I am not fond of setting "New Year's Resolutions."  I believe that we never reach a true destination in life.  We are always travelling, always changing.  I tend to shy away from known causes of depression like resolutions.  I mean, what percentage of people actually fulfill their resolutions each year?  (Please don't actually give me this percentage, as that too could cause depression.)

I am the type of person who likes to see items checked off a list.  This empowers me and makes me feel confident.  In this spirit, I am setting goals (very specific goals) for 2011.  I have a different set of goals for my personal and professional life.  My lists of goals are realistic and fairly short.  If I achieve them early, I will make new goals.  I plan to periodically share my professional (and maybe some of my personal) goals with you.  I will then share with you the outcomes of theses goals...did I achieve the goal?, was it successful?, etc).

My first goal that I share with you is to begin reading business and personal development books.  I recently read a blog post by Linda Roisum, 2010: A Year in Books.  In this post, she lists several books that she read in 2010.  She mentioned that she tries to read one business or personal development book per month.  I know that is a goal I cannot reach...I am a mother, a wife, and an MT!  Instead, I would like to set my goal as reading 4 business or personal development books in 2011.  There are several on Linda's 2010 list that I plan to look up.  Next week, I will let you know which book I chose. 

What are your goals for 2011?
