I believe that it is really important to set goals in our lives so that we one day don’t wake up and wish we had done more. It is important to feel proud of ourselves, like what we are doing and how we are living is making a difference…changing us for the better. I have been known for setting some demanding goals for myself at times, but that is only because I expect a lot from myself. I like to push myself because usually what I think I am capable of is far less than what I actually am capable of.

Here are my goals I am working on:
