Why Set Goals? 5 Reasons to Set Goals and How to Set Them
If you're new to setting goals, you may be wondering, "Why set goals? What's the point?" I have always loved goals, and, over the course of my lifetime, I've probably (definitely) set too many of them. But I also know that not everyone gets it. So as a goal-setter by nature, I'm here to explain why I (and others) love goals so much.

What Is Poverty and How Should We Respond to It?
I recently took some time to look through other blogs and see what's being written about giving back (charity, volunteering, etc.), and I realized that most blogs, even personal development blogs, don't touch on this topic. However, I think that issues of poverty and giving back are important for us to think about as we consider what we want our lives to look like. This blog is all about creating a more fulfilling life and I think this topic fits in well as we consider how best to use our time and resources.

August 2018 Personal Growth Goals
I'm not going to lie... I've been dreading writing this post.

May 2018 Goals – My First Month of Blogging Goals
As I shared the process for creating short-term goals, I decided to share my own short-term goals with you, so that we can walk alongside each other as we accomplish our goals together. I've been debating whether I should share my blog goals on this post or create a separate income/traffic report with my blog goals each month. For this month, I've decided to go ahead and put it all here. As I start to actually make an income, that may change. Without further ado, here are my first month of blogging goals.

How To Turn Long-Term Goals into Short-Term Goals
Everyone should have long-term goals, but long-term goals are actually accomplished using short-term steps. I find that I am much more likely to accomplish my goals when I turn my long-term goals into short-term goals. I am a firm believer that short-term goals can drastically change your life. All long-term goals are accomplished one day/week/month at a time. That's where short-term goals come in and why they're so important.

5 Simple Steps for Setting Long-Term Goals
I love long-term goals! They’re big dreams that seem almost too big, but because they’re long-term they don’t seem quite so intimidating.
