    Hi Robbie. :) Lovely work! and great manifesto! :D Just thought I’d share something. I also make goals at the start of every year. I had goals of focusing on art more or loving people more and that sort of thing. But I realized that the way to make it work and achieve these goals was to make them measurable. It helps making it measurable because I know how close or how far I am from achieving them and I can make adjustments. And I won’t feel so bad that I didn’t fully achieve the goals because I’d see some progress.

    Like for example, I had a goal of reading 1 novel a month. Or illustrate 3 books. Or draw one page a day. Then I’d track it on a per week basis. With a quarterly evaluation (or after 6 months). Then I can make adjustments to my goals.

    So for example, if you want to inspire people, why not make statement posters like this every month or every 2 months based on what you’ve learned or discovered. :) Or maybe an artwork based on what you’re most thankful for during that month.

    Sorry haba na. Naaliw kasi ako sa post mo. Happy 2012. :D

      Hey Rommel! Thanks for dropping by!

      And yeah I’m trying to be more specific with the goals. I have my own longer list on my notebook. Wahaha. Thanks for sharing! :D

      I agree cause by the end of the year it’s a lot easier to track and you won’t feel like you didn’t do much. =)

      Happy 2012! =)

    “Lessen your armor.” I love this one.

    Continue what you’re doing Kuya Rob. Continue to inspire kids (at kids talaga?) like me. You may not know it but you’re inspiring your fellow bloggers to dream BIG and live life to its fullest. This may sound so mushy and all but it’s the truth. And remember, I’ve always been a fan, well, not always, but since the first time I read your blog. :)

  43. Posted January 11, 2012 at 10:31 am | Permalink
