Day 9: Hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days

“Winners are planners.” – Bo Sanchez

Finally! My favorite day that I am looking forward to write something down to. 

My hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days:

• Learn and take action on photography.  I would love to take great pictures of landscapes and people!  Over the weekend, I’ll ask the best photographer in town when we can begin our photography class.
• Travel to nearby European countries
• Get a Schnegen Visa for the Europe travel this coming Easter (Please do pray that my visa will be approved.)  My appointment with the embassy is scheduled to be 2 weeks from now.
• Be more into communication with my loved ones and friends.

• Reduce my weight by approximately 30 lbs. This is in preparation for my brother’s wedding, and at the same time, just to have my slim body back! :P
• Shift from audit to accounting career (Asking for God’s discernment for this)
• Navigate around Photoshop. Right now, I just know how to change colors, highlights, shadows and text. I want to know how to crop and make great brushes unto the edges of my cropped images.
• Enhance my writing skills through frequent blog entries.
• Enhance my knowledge on financial sectors, specifically on hedging, derivatives, put/option calls, equities, the likes.
• Get into real estate deals at the end of the year.  Already have communicated to soon to be business partner. :)  I love to have the passive income provided by rent. [Hey! I still welcome this kind of deals, so if you have any, come and let’s talk the business plans.] ^_^
• Provide scholarship education to streetkids - two or three that I can supervise – or my friends can supervise.  Providing scholarship grant has always been my advocacy since college.  (Yeah, I have to go send a message to some friends who are in the NGO)
• Increase my emergency fund
• Delegate and duplicate work and businesses
• Debt management (Learning the advantage of opportunity cost)
• Increase my paper asset portfolios
• Increase our team for our family’s Natasha retail business :)
• Guide my younger brother into his “forced monthly savings”. :P
• Start an online information business and stabilised my online retail business
• Be supportive of my brothers’ endeavors – and be the devil’s advocate, sometimes (hehe)
• Speak in front of an audience
• Communicate more effectively to my peers through enhancing my technical knowledge on financial sectors (Ooops, already mentioned this)
• Spend vacation with my parents and my extended family
• Be more supportive of bf’s endeavors – and convince him to practice his first professional license (I think I already did. hehe. Yey!)
• Watch the 2012 London olympics
• Build my own snowman and make my own snow angel
• Eat a DQ ice cream on December
• Submit an article to be published in Kerygma magazine

More is coming…but the ultimate goal of this is that whatever the Great Guy above has bestowed upon me (ie: talents. Aherm!), I just want Him to use me as His instrument to be a blessing to people.

Friends, what are your plans? Jot them down and take the action steps to make them come true. :)

   

Keep learning and keep moving forward!
