I’ve been thinking about my personal goals for 2013 and those my family hopes to achieve as a unit. There are a lot of small ones and some big ones as well. Hopefully, we’ll get to achieve them all before the year ends. The goals vary but I guess I can sum it all up using these three words – EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER. This is my new mantra for the year.

The world is our oyster, isn’t it? I know there’s still so much for me and my family to experience as individuals and as a group. It may be impossible to experience everything but we can sure try to do so as much as we can. Life is short and we should all try our best to make the most out of it.
I have been thinking about the changes in my life this past year. There have been big changes particularly in my career as a WAHM and as a freelancer. Oftentimes I wonder what took me so long to take this big leap from corporate life to WAHM life. I realize it was because of fear. I feared the unknown, the uncertainty, the what if’s. Most of all, I was scared of failing and of disappointing myself. However, the thing that changed last year was that I finally got the confidence to really try and make things possible.
In 2012, I explored the path of becoming a writer although I was still scared shit and unsure. I allowed myself to once again dream of becoming a writer. It was something that has always been in my heart but never really claimed. Somehow I discovered people and avenues to make my dream a reality. Now, here I am starting to live my dream.
I sure want more of that in 2013. Not only do I want more explorations, dreams and discoveries about writing, I also want to experience more of life. I want to explore, dream and discover:
- Ways on how to be a better mom to my kids
- Ways on how to continue sustaining & improving my relationship with my hubby
- Food I’ve never tasted or restaurants I’ve never tried before
- Local and foreign destinations I’ve yet to go to
- Clothing styles I’ve never had the confidence to try
- How to start writing for a magazine
- How to take my blog to the next level
- New recipes to learn
- Ways to improve our financial status
- How to lose 10 pounds and live a healthier lifestyle
- How to contribute more to the important causes I believe in and promote
- New things about myself that I have never seen before
I can think of so many! I’m sure you get the picture. Basically, I just want to enjoy my life while I still have it. At the end of the year, I want to be able to say that I have surprised myself.
What do you want to explore, dream and discover this 2013?
