LIPTEMBER 2023 - DAY 30

There's nothing more rewarding than setting a goal and achieving it. 30 different lip colours in 30 days! Done. Raise $300 in 30 days! Done.

I've learnt over the years that the goals need to be realistic and for that reason not all goals I set I have achieved. Not achieving goals has a serious effect on your mental health - sense of loss, failure, embarrassment, you feel not good enough, not worthy enough. The thing I've come to realise on those failures is that I'm still better off than the person that didn't have a go because they were afraid of all of those things.  That's what continues to drive me each year I participate. I set goals and do my best for all the people that can't. So I'll be back next year, my fifth year, and next year I'll have a BIG goal. Does it scare me? Yes! Does it make me want to have a year off? No. It does make me start to plan NOW so that I have time to work on my plan and make my goals a reality. Set a goal, make a plan, go after it!
