I always think of the five goals I have and had since the beginning of the year 2012. Some of the goals I will be working on all my life some are just ones I think could overall help me. I will need to work very hard on these goals. I have in the past not been very productive in this.
#1 Make a good legacy for my name. I will need to work on this goal really hard because my siblings and I have not made a good report about the name Baum. I will work on this by being the more responsible sibling, the more mutuel sibling, and by doing what I know is to be right.
#2 Make my mom proud. This goal I will need to work more on and really work hard to achieve this goal. In the past I didn't care what my mom thought of me. I will achieve this goal by first achieving my four other goals. I honestly, did not realize my mistakes until, I went to a group home and didn't care to make my mom proud until, March 9, 2012 the day she died.
#3 Apologize to all those I've hurt with my crimes. I know I can achieve this goal if I really put myself to it. It will not be easy nor fun, but it's just one thing that will always be a burden on my shoulders. Just, another burden I do not need nor want. I have already started apologizing to my family first because, I feel that if I do them last they will think I only care about myself.
#4 Be clean and sober from all drugs and alcoholic beverages. I have already started this goal two years ago when I decided it was time to stop. I knew it was not making me healthy, fun to be around, and most importantly it made me not liked by my own family members. I have a lot of support in staying clean but in the end, if I want to be clean and sober for the rest of my life, it's up to me and only me.
#5 To be generous and kind. I have some what started this goal by letting my roommates use some of my stuff. I give my proctor brothers a lot of stuff like candy and that stuff. I have started being more kind by not teasing my more sensitive proctor brothers. I don't joke as much with them and I am a lot nicer to them. I need to improve because I am still really sarcastic towards every body in the house.

I really liked your goals James ! I know your mom is proud of you right now and maybe when the end comes you'll see her. I really liked how you said you'll be kind to everybody you meet. I need to work on that goal too because I joke around a lot. So thanks for writing that goal.
Hey James I like your Goal that says "make my mom proud". I love my mom and will continue in doing what I can to make her proud. I thought this was good keep doing what you do and keep your head up the sun has to shine one day.
James I like what you said about making a legacy for you name. I think if you follow those goals there's nowhere in life you can't go. I also like like that you want to make amens with others because the is something most of us can or won't do.
I really like your second goal a lot. I have let my mom down a lot and now I wanna make up for it by getting sober and out of the system and making her proud. I wanna show my mom the potential I have to get some where in life. My external motivation is my family because I wanna show them I can, show them I can overcome my struggles and addictions.
James I really likes when you made a goal about being nicer to people. I need to start being a little bit nicer to everyone. I'm usually not a nice person but I can also be a sweet heart. This is a good post, I really like it.
James I like your goal about being kind and generous because your a bully. I like your other goals too. You did good.(:
Thoes were some good goal. My favorite goal is to stay sober. I need to work on that to. It hard but then againe it's easy. But keep working on your goal.
