Yikes, it seems that a twice-weekly schedule is too much. I'm going to try for once a week and put the 31 days project on hold for now until I get into more of a rhythm with this blog.

I've been thinking about my last posts. I realized that I interpreted values as qualities that I want to improve in myself, which led to abstract inwardly directed goals. That's fine, but I'm looking more for concrete directions so I know how my actions affect what I want to do with my life.

So, I asked myself instead, "What is truly important to me?"

Here is what I came up with:

-Helping people
-Traveling the world and understanding different cultures
-Family
-Writing

For me, writing this felt like taking off a burden. It's solid, and I can see clear, concrete goals I can make towards these values, especially during my final year of school and the year after graduation. My next post will focus on designing goals to match these values.
