About the only goal I set and broke this year I think, besides losing weight and sorting out my health, which always seem to be overlooked from the moment I declare the plan, was I swore to myself that I would learn the tai chi set by 2010. I started in February, and by April or May had learned exactly half. I was told it took some people years to learn it all but I did a lot of homework.
But then they cancelled the Thursday class and then there was only the Tuesday, which was the night I did wing chun on. After I quit wing chun I took up karate which is also on a Tuesday, so I never made it back. I'm sad about that and I feel like I'm very unreliable, even to myself, but I think I would have made more effort if the organisation had less politics in it. I'm so friggin tired of politics.. I was sitting doing reiki during a break in class once coz I was feeling amazingly unwell. The teacher called over "You can do that here but if you go to any bigger classes you won't be allowed to do that, the founder didn't teach it, and if anything done here is anything but what he taught it's considered insulting to his memory." It's reiki in a tai chi class, personally I think the guy would have encouraged such a thing, but there we go.. Sorry for the rant
Anyway, that's about it for this year I think. I tend not to make goals like lose weight, get a job etc because I feel if I say to myself "YOU WILL lose weight" it becomes a chore and that immediately makes it less appealing, and getting a job, well that isn't up to me, and will only cause immense frustration.
So I think I'll stick with "I'll train my butt off and get good at this stuff at long last"
