Love God and my fellow man more, more, more. That may lead to particular actions I haven't thought of yet.<br /><br />2. Express myself more in something creative, possibly painting.<br /><br />3. Appreciate my positive characteristics and stop focusing on negative traits.<br /><br />4. Be a source of love and encouragement to my family and friends and anyone else who needs it. Well, you’ve all inspired me to think about this in a different way although I make an attemp to keep focused on my first goal every day of every year.

1. Love God and my fellow man more, more, more. That may lead to particular actions I haven’t thought of yet.

2. Express myself more in something creative, possibly painting.

3. Appreciate my positive characteristics and stop focusing on negative traits.

4. Be a source of love and encouragement to my family and friends and anyone else who needs it.

But I can't keep taking this for granted. Yoga and salsa dancing are therefore in my future...<br />3. Travel. anywhere. everywhere I can manage, whenever I can.<br />4. happiness!! I resolve to continue being happy. You only live once. But if you do it right, once is enough. Well it’s hard to follow Jaime, as I am almost incoherent with travel tiredness, but…

In all honesty I hadn't thought too much about them before, but as I sit down to put them in a list, I've realized that I am turning into a hippie. Just thought I'd warn you. Here is a rough outline of what I am hoping to accomplish this year...<br /><br />1. Apply for a (paid) internship or a professional gig - Attempt theatre beyond school.<br /><br />2. Determine my type and theatrical distinction - As odd as it sounds, as a performer, I am the product and I must find a way to promote myself. Find theatrical individualism.<br /><br />3. Familiarize myself with the products of theatre - Read plays of all types, attend as many performances as financially possible, and start reading Playbill on a regular basis ; )<br /><br />4. Continue and expand my yoga practice - Yoga not only has wonderful health benefits, but also is an excellent tool for a mind/body/soul connection; Something I can definitely draw on as an actor.<br /><br />5. Go vegan! - Love of humans = Love of animals. Share the love!<br /><br />6. Become an active paticipant in the fight for animal rights - Either begin an animal rights organization on campus, convince my school to undertake some animal safe strategies, or become a known presence in Chico as an advocate.<br /><br />7. Balance work and play - Stop bringing work home and give myself some personal time every day to be free from stress.<br /><br />8. Never take life for granted - Live without regret.
