“Authenticity is everything! You have to wake up every day and look in the mirror, and you want to be proud of the person who’s looking back at you. And you can only do that if you are being honest with yourself and and being a person of high character. You have an opportunity every single day to write that story of your life.” – Aaron Rodgers
“2019 is going to be my year!” How many times have we all said that to each other?! Establishing resolutions each year, that go out of the window by the of February. I know I am guilty of this. That was 2018. I had it all planned out. I was going to travel every month, going some place new. My blog was going to be were I needed it to be. Life…nice!
Life… Or something like it!
Of course, you know that did not pan out the way I anticipated. Life showed its ass and threw a monkey wrench in the everything. Work took over. I was physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually burnout. Depression kicked in. My days consisted of going through the motions, only doing what was required. Neglecting other areas of my life.
I was tired! Blog posts ceased and became a struggle to keep up with. Desire to write wained. Serious blogcation was in full affect. Towards the end of 2018, things changed. I made the conscious decision to relax, take it easy. Learning that it was okay to do so. And the world continued spinning.
2019 is the year of me. I know, isn’t every year the year of me?! This is all about of me. Not in some narcissistic vibe, but putting myself-first-for-my-sanity kinda vibe. Thinking of my future self in all that I do. I know my post is a little late, but its a step in the right direction. My direction!
Goals & Dreams
The following are my goals and dreams for 2019. Some are a culmination of what I set out to achieve in 2018 and what I want to bring to fruition in 2019. These are intentional and specific.
- Practice self-love and care daily
- Live authentically no matter what life throws my way
- Complete my Master’s Degree in Business Administration
- Pass the CEP exam and Become a certified compliance professional
- Become more financially independent
- Develop a working Compliance management system
- Travel more internationally
- Improve my photography skills
- Develop consistent and engaging blog content
- Create a working social media posting schedule and stick to it
- Master a social media platform to increase blog traffic
- Grow my subscriber list organically by 10%
We should be intentional and specific when creating goals. It gives us purpose, drive and direction. I am currently working through the timeline I am giving myself to complete each one. And will hold myself accountable when I procrastinate or fail to meet my deadline. While being realistic about myself and life.
With Love…Nadia

Hey Nadia, Same pinch , Most of your goals and dreams are similar to mine. But the difference is , I have not yet noted them down, which is the blunder.
Hi Sujata! I find writing them down makes them intentional. Hope you achieve your goals!
We have some very similar goals – improving my photography and practising self-care is so high on my list also. Wishing you all the best for 2019!
Hi Alexandra! Thanks for reading. Same to you!
I love this list so much! You’ve got the right idea. The best way to get started on a road towards accomplishing your goals and achieving your dreams is to write them out and let them be known. It’s a great way to turn abstract ideas into concrete objectives.

I have so many goals to accomplish this year, but I really should be more reasonable like you! All of my goals are around renovating our home and it won’t be cheap!
Hi Sara! Oh my, what a goal! Maybe breaking it up into smaller goals will help. Good luck!
These are great goals for 2019. The best way I set goals are S.M.A.R.T. goals. It helps so much to be intentional and specific.

Great list. My primary goal for 2019 is Becoming more financially independent
Hi Matthew. Thanks for reading. Along side of self-love & care, that is a primary goal. I mean how else am I going to afford the international travels!
We all have to start somewhere and it sounds like you’re on the right track. Just keep going and never quit.
Hi Shannon! Thanks for your kind words!
Totally agree, I have been struggling with how to kick 2019 butt. I really feel like you spoke to me with loving yourself daily it’s so hard as mother to find “YOU” time. To really remember that you are an individual that needs to love herself and invest in her. I started doing small things like getting up 15mins before the kids go to school to meditate. Its been amazing to see how just that small thing has changed my view of life.
Hi Melissa! I cannot begin to imagine how hard it is, especially when you have little ones depending on you. It’s the “little” moments of self-love that can make the biggest impact on our lives. Keep it going!
It is always good to list our goals and to be specific about them. I pray that 2019 would exceed all your expectations.
Hi Ingrid! Thanks so much for your kind words.
You’ve set some pretty amazing goals. It’s funny because many of the goals you listed are on my goal list as well. I’ve learned it’s all about being intentional—goal setting is definitely one way to accomplish that! I’m sure your going to be amazed at how much you’ve accomplished by next year!
