Well, the FlourishCafe birthday celebration continues with a free printable! I actually opened shop last year on New Year’s Day, which is a common day to start things, resolve things, set new goals – a day for beginnings.
Chances are, you set some resolutions 4 days ago this year as well. How are they coming? How will you be doing on them at the end of the month? What about in July? Often, New Year resolutions get dropped almost as fast as a porcupine mistaken for a pillow.
I heard it said recently that written goals are the real goals- unwritten goals are called hopes and dreams. Hopes and dreams are much less likely to be followed up on than actual goals.
So in that spirit, I’ve made up a free 2012 printable resolution sheet – write those resolutions down! Post them where you will see them. Don’t let them float away as unwritten hopes, put them on paper, and stick to them!
Just click on the image below to be taken to the PDF file of the printable. Write those resolutions down!
So what are some of your resolutions this year? Tell me about them in the comments below!
(Psst! Don’t forget to enter my art giveaway .. it ends Friday! )
I resolved to be more positive this year!!! So far things are going great. I want to focus on the things I am blessed with and not the wants of what I think I need.
I want to have more patience with everyone, I sometimes get frustrated with myself and I don’t have the patience I should have with others. In other words, I take my frustrations out on them. This should not be and I’m working hard to correct it.
Please pray that I will be able to accomplish my resolutions to a degree this year and continue to work on it throughout the rest of my life.
What a great goal. :) It is definitely all too easy to focus on the negative, and take it out on others … its very common, and very good idea to get out of the habit! :) I recommend reading the book of Philippians every time you feel like you’re struggling with it … when I see what Paul was going through (in prison, persecuted, health problems, and people stabbing him in the back) and then see what his attitude was (joyful and rejoicing) it really helps me to put my problems in context! And of course, he was able to do that by keeping his focus on what is eternal, not what is temporary. In fact, I think Philippians is a great book to study and discuss with others! If you ever feel like doing that, drop me a note, I’m always up for that. :) In the meantime, I will pray as you work on this, nice going to have this goal. :)
Thanks for this I was just looking for a nice looking paper to write my goals for this year on! One of my goals for this year is to take Violet outside everyday. I know that sounds silly but sometimes I find that we have spent the whole day inside.
On a side note are you moving to Boston?
I don’t think that’s silly! Its definitely a great goal, I should add that to my list too … I really like to get out of the house everyday, but sometimes you get to the end of the day and it never happened!
Yes, we are planning to move to Boston, Lord willing. Its just an issue of Tim finding a job up there. We’re very excited about the new work up with with Justin and Lindsey and others and want to move up there. :)
Sorry to jump into this convo, but what type of job is Tim looking for? Maybe we could help! And I’m a little too excited of the thought of you moving this way!!!! :)
He has his master’s in chemical engineering, so something in that field, I think he’s pretty open right now as to what it might be in particular! :)
We’ll keep our eyes and ears open for anything! It’ll be so nice to have you closer! We plan on attending the Boston church at least once a month and hopefully more eventually!
Thanks! I hope the job hunt will go smoothly, its definitely tricky doing it long distance, but Lord willing we will be up there before too long. :)
YAY!!!!
My big goal is to write regularly. It is hard — lots of competing-for-my-attention stuff. I’m really trying to keep it a priority, though.
I’ve been hearing a lot of people with that goal! I think its a great one … I’ve definitely been loving reading what you’ve been writing on your blog. :)

magnificent post, very informative. I ponder
why the other specialists of this sector don’t notice this.
You must continue your writing. I am sure, you have a
huge readers’ base already!
Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon everyday.
It’s always helpful to read articles from other writers and use something from their
websites.
