It looks like you are making awesome progress on your goals. Plus if you were achieving every one of your goals it would mean that you didn't make as many stretch goals :)
ReplyDeleteI think you are doing fantastic. The important thing is that you do indeed have written goals, which gives you something to aim for! Keep up the good work.
