Being Proactive and Setting Goals = A Better Me.

Be PROACTIVE.  The first habit Sean Covey mentions in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Being proactive means taking conscious control over your life, setting goals and working to achieve them. Instead of waiting for opportunities, you go out and create your own events and opportunities.  Hmm.... The word has resonated in my brain the past couple weeks.  As I ponder this word, I feel powerful - like I can do almost ANYTHING! 

This has prompted me to start this blog: Aspiring To Be More.  I have talked myself out of so many things with excuses.   Maybe something is too hard or would involve too much work or money. Sometimes it is my own insecurity - someone does it better than me.  Well, I am being PROACTIVE - taking a step and launching the a blog!!  Whoo-hoo!

Along with the thoughts of being PROACTIVE, I am participating in the 3 in 30 challenge.  Working on 3 different GOALS during 30 days.  I am so excited!

These are my goals:
I will exercise 4 out of 7 days for at least an hour a day.
(Including biking, walking or exercise video) 

Finish 2 books.  1 - fiction  1- nonfiction

 (Already in my book collection at home.  So many books....so many UNREAD) 

Get UP out of bed by 6:45am .

(This time may be a shock to some of you, but I am a late night person.)  

Are there areas in your life you need to start being PROACTIVE in?  Do you have goals written out? Let me know, we can REACH our goals together.
We can encourage each other!
