Even though my finish date for this goal is in June, if I think of the life I had at this point last year, there are some major differences.
This time last year I was in a job that was stressful and caused me to be upset constantly. I was turning into someone really unpleasant :(
I was stuck in a rut, and worked into a hole. One of my personal relationships was (I’m trying to search for the most appropriate words here…) emotionally unsupportive. Basically, I was unhappy at work and outside of work. In the last few months I stopped working at that place and I distanced myself from that relationship.
I’ve begun to do some volunteer work, and also started helping a friend part-time with her business. I have many amazing friends, and a large number of them I have met in the last year. I am more deliberate with my decision making and I’ve done things I feel proud of. I feel more in control of my emotions. I feel peaceful. I can also tell that I am making the people around me happy too.
I’m keeping this goal up until the official finishing date.
I’d like to think leading up to the date, there will be more learning and experiences, more creative achievements, more great times with loved ones and more job opportunities will arise.
Good luck again to everyone else with this goal too! I still find the wording of this goal really motivating :)

In the last two weeks I have;
- Left my job :)
- Been accepted into the course I had spent several months preparing to interview for. I had no plan B, so I’m rather pleased I was accepted :)
- Completed a week long intensive training course
- Met many awesome new people. Some of these people have all ready inspired and taught me, and time will tell, but some of these people I expect will also end up being lifelong friends :)
- Gained new insights into my personality traits, values and goals
- Been action planning for a more successful and meaningful year
There are changes in circumstance and surroundings, but most importantly, changes are happening from within :)

quickly subsides. I didn’t get enough sleep, and was extremely irritable today :/ I was annoyed at my surrounds and annoyed at myself. Looking at my colleagues, some of them are like zombies. It’s just awful, how did I waste so much time with these people in this environment? I’m not the sort of person who counts down the hours in a day, but today I actually calculated the hours I have to continue working there until I finish for good! (33.5 hours:)
I don’t usually like to make negative entries on 43T. It’s a happy place for me, and often brings out the best in my thoughts. But I feel it’s important to record this feeling I’m having right now.
With intent and drive I can really turn things around.
If I can get back to the blissful and motivated feeling I manifested during the Christmas/New Year time I had off, that would be ideal.
Whatever my mood is, I know for a fact, my life will be different as of next Thursday. So I just have to find that happy place and look at the light that shines my way :)

I’ve decided to paint my room, which I’ve inhabited for many years. So whether or not I move anywhere, soon I’ll be waking up to a new colour :)

This is the date that I made the first entry against this goal. This goal is the one I find most exciting and think about most. More entries to come :)

I am relieved that I have several months left to take more action to succeed with this goal. Even if I had to close this goal now I would still feel happy and satisfied. Definitely changes have occurred, and since I created this goal I have welcomed new people into my life, and my my world has opened to new opportunities.
I want to do more and make more happen, and I’m not interested in settling for anything mediocre! Watch this space :)

I really like that there are over a thousand people with this goal.
For me the wording of this goal is so exciting and full of opportunities.
I think about this goal, but haven’t measured my objectives or listed what I can do to consider this goal complete. The big one would be a change in my work life, and I can say after moving to part time since I posted this goal, I feel like I’m halfway there :)
I’ll try to check in on this goal often and think about my preferred outcomes!

I’ve always enjoyed this seeing this goal on other people’s lists. I wasn’t sure about having it on my own list, as there are many things in my life which are just great, and I don’t want them to change. But I think I will find this goal a good motivator when I’m thinking of big goals, how they can make a positive change in my life, and how I’ll benefit from my efforts.
As I’ve decided to work part time (after wanting to do this for 4 years!), I have no doubt that will make a big change in my life.
For the last few years I’ve simply been too busy to think about my long term future. This year I threw out all the excuses of being too busy to further my education, and spent all my weekends for three months on courses. I’m moving along well, and this is going to impact on the life I have in 12 months time.
For now, I’ll just have this goal up here and see if it does motivate me and make a difference. Look forward to seeing the results :)
