For a Better Self

- Volunteer for a Month ~ I would love to be able to be in a position that I could volunteer for an organization for a month to help people who in need. Idea came from all the people that I grew up around that did volunteer for MCC or other organizations. My Grandma and Great Aunt Mary's experience in Pennsylvania was a great inspiration when I was a kid.
- Give something back to the community (volunteer for a community program) ~ I grew up playing sports and being involved in other activities that required Volunteers and when I was 15 I determined that I needed to give back in volunteer hours for all the hours that were required for people to volunteer so I could enjoy the programs that I did.
- Fast from food for 2 Days ~ This idea came because of the 24 hour famine that all the youth groups did when I was a teen. However I thought that 24 hours was too simple, and that they made it almost a reward for fasting for 24 hours as afterwards they got donuts and pizza a so forth. I just think it should be done in a way that makes me understand the famine aspect as well as becomes a personal growth thing.
- Read the Bible from Front to Back ~ I have started many times and know too many people who have done it and I don't have a reason why I can't or shouldn't do it. Figured if I made it a goal that might be the inspiration for me to finally complete it.
- Stop swearing for at least 1 Month ~ With coaching Minor sports I tried to show that you didn't need to swear. So I figured if I didn't swear that would be a good example for the kids. On my first try I made it roughly 3 weeks then I stubbed my toe on the table in the Kitchen and let out a loud F-Bomb.
- Stay on a exercise routine for a Year ~ I expect this out of the kids I coach so I should expect it out of myself.
- Become a more polite person (take an etiquette course) ~ I think that etiquette is lost to young people these days as well as being polite is taken as a weakness.
- Get a suit custom tailored for myself ~ For a better looking me.
- Start a Charity/Foundation ~ I have always had a dream of doing this.
- Organize a Fundraiser ~ I have been a part of many fundraiser and think that I could organize one that would be different than a lot of the other fundraisers out there.
- Donate a months salary to a Charity just to see how good it feels ~ Saw a similar idea online.
- Give a homeless person $100 Cash just to see the smile on their face ~ Idea from either Outside Magazine's Life Goals List or from another Life Goals List.
- Cook a extensive four-course meal for my Family or Girlfriend ~ Idea came from a previous list item which was amended to this. The goal of this is to cook a first class dinner where the menu is picked by my the person/people I am cooking for. The meal has to be excellent for me to be able to check this off my list.
Will doing these things make me a better person? Probably not, but I don't think it will make me any worse.
