Goals

I have some goals, like lifetime goals, swimming goals, school goals, and personal goals. But most of them are long term. Like one
is to own a successful resort in a warm place. A swimming goal is to go sub five minutes in my 500.

But I have a new goal. Its more short term and probably much more important. I want to be more nice to my sister. I never had trouble getting along with Gabe (its a twin thing) sure we had our rough patches but we were always able to understand each other because we are going through a lot of the same things. But my sister she is different. I don't know what it is but we can never really see eye to eye. Partly pride on my part and partly teenage stubbornness on her part. So we are both at fault. I always rationalized that arguing and not getting along with your siblings is normal. But is it? I mean shouldn't I be nicer to my family then I am to friends or even strangers? Well thats not how I am. I wish thats how I was. Another of my excuses (an excuse I use to feel less guilty) is that once I grow up and she grows up we will magically get along and we will have the best relationship ever.

I hate to break it to you guys but that doesn't happen and I have realized this. So my goal is to go a day without arguing with her and without saying a snide word.

Now it doesn't count if I don't see her or don't have a conversation with her because whats the point of that? I am going to be the bigger person as of today
