Today I am in Maine on Lake Thompson with my family, and in need of a place to vent my thoughts and cravings of the soul as of late, I find myself here. I have decided lately, well I believe the decision first originated toward the end of last semester, but faded away with the coming of finals, but yeah I have decided that from this point on I will adopt the practice of holding no concrete goals except those for the following day. I often find that complex plan for many days ahead of me become overwhelming and overburdening, and as well as ambiguous plans to exercise more or read more or pray more or so on are often never even initiated even a little. Therefore I will hold long-term goals loosely, and day by day reach them through accomplishing unscheduled but concrete goals for each day. Well now, that was quite a bit to get out at once. I have, however, decided that these goals should somewhat be arranged around a certain “hierarchy of needs,”’ if you will, including physical, mental, and spiritual developments. Which includes a necessary 3 hours of physical (including eating and hygiene, and exercise), 2 hours of mental activity (read, writing, contemplation), and one hour of spiritual (prayer and mediation). The goals are main points that I should concentrate on during the day, and not necessarily precise tasks to be carried out. So for tomorrow:

Physical

• Exercise
• Eat well

Mental

• Read The Prophet
• Read Scientific American
• Begin Outlining Two at a Time

Spiritual

• Pray!!!!
