'21 Goals

With 2020 almost over, it’s time to look ahead. The pandemic has changed our lives and relationships, it disrupted our plans and objectives in one way or another. Many of us have experienced loss and some are still suffering. Let’s hope it won’t last forever.

Once things begin to change for the better, we also have to focus on the things we want to achieve, the things we want to change but only you yourself can do that. Resolutions to me have always been a wish list we think of or say to ourselves or to friends and family in the spirit of excitement for the new year, but a written goal is visible and tangible.

This comp is more of a two-part challenge.

1)   Write down 10-15 goals of the things you want to achieve in your personal life for the next 12 months. Have it in a card, on your phone, somewhere where it’s visible every day. You can even develop a detailed plan to help you achieve that specific goal. This should fuel your fire and ambition to reach your objective. Keep that list to yourself, or you can share with your spouse, family, friends, it’s up to you.

2)   For this competition you can choose 3 to 5 five goals, whichever you feel more comfortable with sharing with us here at DUP in your poem. I’m looking for poetry that speaks of your passion and your desire to succeed in areas of your life you’ve always dreamed.

Rules
1. Title Your Poem
2. Mention 3 – 5 goals you wish to achieve within the poem
3. Any poem style but no prose

Whether you do part of one of the challenge is really up to you, but I think it’s a great exercise in your journey.

I hope everyone is being safe and keeping healthy. If anything, this pandemic has shown us it that we are all connected somehow someway.

Good luck in the comp and I’d love to hear more about your dreams and hopes.
