It's that time of summer when I've come to realize which goals I'll have time to complete and which ones I haven't. It's a time for introspection as to the purpose of goals, as well as a time of reflection of how great my summer has been. Without going into detail, and with no more ado, I give you my final Summer to-do list:
-Finish my summer playlist
-Read 3 more Calvin and Hobbes books
-Run a 1 mile time trial (under 6:00)
-Practice break-dancing
-Practice skateboarding
-Write out final poems
-Finish inspiration board
-Buy a bike
-Tour the Masonic temple
-Write letters to Skittles, McDonald's, and the Mayor of Farmington
-Finish my work on the file
If I finish everything on this list in the next 10 days, I will have completed 20/25 summer goals. 80% on my summer goals would be the best completion percentage in summer goal history for me. Sure, it's not 100%, but I would still be happy. The goals I have failed still helped shape my summer for the better--hardly a failure at all. The measure of which my life has changed this summer is unprecedented--what an incredible summer so far. And I have summer goals to thank for that, for both directly and indirectly motivating me to do fun and incredible things.
