Looking Back on 2010

Back in January, I posted my [top three goals for 2010.](http://www.adambyram.com/2010/01/10/my-goals-the-2010-edition/

)

So how did I do? Well…

Goal: Get Healthy
Result: Failed - I totally bombed this one. A lot of changes happened in 2010 that distracted me from this goal. This WILL be happening in 2011.

Goal: Side Income to Livable Levels
Result: Success / Not Applicable - This originally came about because I wanted to leave me previous job and work for myself. I did end up working for myself anyway, but I didn’t get my side income to livable levels. Having said that, I did start a new job which negated this goal (and resulted in an even better outcome in a lot of ways). I still love the idea of running my own business and maybe it’ll happen when it’s time. I tried to force it this time and that wasn’t the right way to do it. In the meantime, everything is working out pretty awesomely.

Goal: See a Space Shuttle Launch (in person)
Result: Success - I hit a home run on this one. I watched the next to last launch of Atlantis in May (from Titusville) and then I won the lottery by being selected for the NASA Tweetup for Discovery’s final flight. While I didn’t see Discovery launch (yet - 2011 goal now), I did get an amazing experience at NASA including standing just a few hundred yards from Discovery on the launchpad.

Overall, I’m OK with my progress (all things considered). I’m disappointed in myself for not making progress on my “Get Healthy” goal, but it was a bit of a crazy year. I’m happy with my direction heading into 2011 so 2010 was definitely not a waste. While I may not have accomplished all of the goals I wanted, 2011 is looking to be the best year yet.
