The year 2008 is about microwaving your goals. Want to quit
smoking? Read “30 Days to a Smokeless Life.”
Want to write a novel? Try “Write a Novel in 30 days.”
Harnett County Library, Lillington, N.C., has a series of books on succeeding at
a goal in 30 days.
For instance, Wendy Stehling wrote “How to Find a Husband in
30 Days” and includes this advice: “Smile for ten seconds.”
She also wrote, “Thin Thighs in 30 Days.”
The librarian who checked out my “30 day” books saw Stehling’s
title on finding a husband, eyed the title suspiciously and decided she rather have thin thighs.
I guess hips trump lips.
Thirty days to accomplish a goal may be ambitious; however,
the idea of packaging an article on what is possible within 30 days could be a
publication that many periodicals would want. Perhaps the concept is a book, too.
Your assignment: Set a goal of accomplishing a goal within
30 days. Losing a husband in 30 days doesn’t count. (That goes for wives, too.)
What can you accomplish by June 21?
