2013

This year is going to be one of the most incredible of my life, as well as next year, I already know this. But here are a few goals I have for myself this year—realistic, real-life stuff that I am certain I can attain.

• Read from the Book of Mormon and Bible every single day of the year
• Give up at least one television show before my mission [I'm not too much of an addict, but there are a few I need to just be done with]
• Give thank-yous to EVERY person [that I can think of] who has impacted/changed/touched my life before my mission
• Feel as prepared as possible for my full-time mission for the Lord
• Become a more selfless, charitable, Christ-like person overall [this is maybe bigger than the others, but I'm really going to try]
• Read the Book of Mormon, with thorough study, in 3 months [before my mission] 
• Finish at least one classic book before I leave on my mission
• Improve my writing skills by writing at least something every single day—whether it's for 10 minutes of writing exercises or 8 hours at work. 
• Get to a point where I feel absolutely pleased and healthy when it comes to my self-image and body.
• Grow closer to the Savior and my Heavenly Father in every way, and improve and personalize my prayers even more.
