I have reached some goals.
Reaching My Goals
by Raul1
I wrote many fiction stories last year and intend to continue doing the same this year. I have made peace with everyone in my life, and I feel thrilled. I have let go of all my sadness and have gained many friends along the way.
It's disheartening to witness the violence and revenge that some resort to in solving their problems. The global issues we read about are indeed challenging. However, my hope for the coming year is unwavering. I long for a world where peace is the chosen path for all. The timeline for this shift may be uncertain, but I believe it's within our reach.
Seeing troublemakers causing problems for good people is disheartening, but I find solace in my writing. As I continue to create, I've noticed a significant improvement in my writing skills. This creative outlet, along with regular exercise and household chores, has been instrumental in helping me cope with life's challenges. Writing has been a means of expression and a tool for personal growth, helping me understand and navigate the complexities of life.
This year, I'm excited to set new writing goals. I aspire to gain recognition for my work, a significant milestone in my writing journey. I'm also eager to explore new genres and styles, pushing the boundaries of my creativity. I'm committed to learning and improving, including reading magazines on effective fiction writing. I'm also proud to maintain my sobriety and peaceful relationships with my family and friends, a testament to personal growth and resilience.
My muse will be put to good use. I owe it to myself to relax for a while, and I will continue to do good deeds. My mind is clear, and I focus on the good things and the positives that come my way. I aim to write more words and paragraphs to expand my fiction stories. I treat everyone with respect and maintain good manners. I choose not to dwell on the adverse events in this world; instead, I concentrate on what I can control. I am leaving the past behind and moving forward.
I share my life experiences and enjoy sports, movies, reading, and working in my backyard. I take the time to appreciate the beauty of the plants around me. I also listen to my parents’ advice. This year, I aim to reach higher goals in my writing craft. I mind my own business, and I want to experience good things. I am determined not to dwell on the past any longer. My focus is on the present, and I strive to be happy. I remind myself that I matter; God has brought me here for a reason. I will prioritize my well-being, trust myself more, and become more secure in who I am. I look forward to meeting new friends while cherishing my old friendships.
I will set these goals for myself, as I depend on becoming independent. I will view Earth as a beautiful planet filled with wonderful things and focus only on the positives. I aim to be fit and muscular and improve my writing skills each day I sit down to type. I will prioritize my health and be mindful of what I eat.
The most important thing for me is to view sports simply as a form of enjoyment, regardless of whether my teams win or lose. After all, it's just sports. I won’t jump to conclusions in the real world; instead, I will think carefully about what is happening. I refuse to blame anyone anymore.
I plan to write horror and young adult fantasy and won’t give up on my goal. I am determined to keep writing because my dream is to become a novelist, which I intend to achieve.
