I’m not a big New Year resolutions fan, such as “lose weight” or “hit the gym 5x per week” or “be a kinder person to X, Y or Z”. None of that really makes sense to me. It seems like people make resolutions only to know they can break them shortly into the New Year because they’ll get a chance at resetting them next year. I think you should always look at ways of improving and continually push yourself. So instead of resolutions, I prefer to set (and reset) goals. This year I'll call my goals my personal mantra.[Please note “being a great dad and husband” is not a goal as I think that is part of everyday life.]
Here are my goals.
In 2010 I will:
· Focus on Personal Development in my job. Aide in development of co-workers.
· Really apply myself in school. Establish myself as a thoughtful leader and active participant in each class I take. The goal is active learning throughout the year.
· Do 1 really fun / unique family event a month.
· Travel 1 place I’ve never been before.
· Participate in Toastmasters and improve public speaking ability.
· Train for a long, local bike race and finish.
· Work on establishing a stronger network in Colorado. Attend at least 1 networking / business event a month and find a take away from each event.
· Follow up with old contacts and friends on a more regular basis.
· Develop Musings from Boulder from a Dylan focused blog into a leadership / thought provoking community.
· Drink a cup of tea a day.
· Hike a few 14’ers.
· Play guitar. (No, really.)
· Focus on what really matters and stay ahead on things (aka prioritize and manage time more efficiently).

Good stuff, bro. I just met with the Toastmasters group of NC with one of our newer reps. I got to learn about their manta(s) and how we can move forward with a business opportunity. We'll likely plan 1-2 Toastmasters nights (Charlotte, then all of NC). I'll let you know how it goes. Good luck.
