Goals for 2010

I don’t normally make New Year’s resolutions, but with my departure date for Korea nearing, I figured it would be good to have some goals for myself for this year…
Goals for 2010:
• Stay Positive: there may be a lot of changes and challenges in store for me in 2010… I think the only way to deal with what comes my way is to keep a positive attitude and think positively about whatever situation I may find myself in.
• Get Fit: with a change in environment and lifestyle I want to be more physically active and stay healthy
• Be adventurous in the new food I try
• Run a 10k
• Make a genuine attempt at learning the Korean language
• Observe and try to participate in Korean culture
• Make new friends in unusual places
• Travel to places who’s name I don’t even know or can’t pronounce
• Eat sushi in Japan
• See and smell cherry blossoms in the spring
• Learn to meditate in a Buddhist temple
• Say yes to new opportunities even when they’re outside of my comfort zone
• Forget my limitations
• Payoff a substantial part of my credit card debt
• Read at least 2 books a month: 1 being a “classic” that I probably should have read while in school
