“Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality.” – Ralph Marston

It’s 11 : 49 AM on day 2884 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and do some work

Last Monday I set some goals and today I will again be evaluating myself to measure my progress and I’ll be setting some goals for the coming week as well. Take a look:

July 30 – 6 August Goals Self-Evaluation

1. Continue to be kind, honest and generous (give more, do more and be more) [tried]
2. Be the best Supersidekick to my Superhero Catherine Constantinides [tried]
3. Spend time outside as often as I can [tried]
4. Finish reading Choose Joy [not done]
5. Learn 7+ new things [didn’t more often than I did]
6. Write done 7 beautiful moments – 1 for every day of the week [did as often as I could]
7. Try new things [working as part of a team locally to make things happen]
8. Call a friend
9. Use social media to showcase the ability of differently-abled people and teach that Different IS COOL! [didn’t do it as well as I’d like]

Highlights of the Week

• Being a part of a special project with friends
• Meeting and spending time with Esther and Yonna from Smile Train (Africa) and reading the card signed by everyone at Smile Train’s New York office (in all my years of working with non-profits I’ve never had a house visit before it was beautiful actually)
