Goals

My mind is filled with a lot of thoughts right now. One that I keep thinking about it the possibilities in life, there are so many! In thinking about teh kind of life that I want to live and what I want to look back on when I am older I think about goals. I love to set and meet goals of all kinds. They are what drive me. Each time I set a goal and meet it, it provides momentum for the next goal! I was reading through an old journal of mine and all the goals I had- a bucket list so to speak. Things I want to do and accomplish. I was kind of suprised by some of them that I wrote. I think at that time some of them were things other people might think are cool and others were things that at one time were "pipe dreams" As I looked back on the list I realized a couple of things. The first thing I realized was that a lot of them hold very little meaning to me anymore, those got scratched. Others, at the time, I thought would never happen, but I have already accomplished and others yet I am already starting on, without even remembering that they were on the list. That is something exciting to me, as I set more goals I feel so much more confidence and that just throws me into completion of things I never thought I would do. Furthermore I now BELIEVE that anything is possible. ANYTHING. I truly believe that there is no dream too big or small. I have MANY daily tasks that are like daily goals that I have to work hard at accomplishing. For example, every morning I have to make the decision to be happy. I realize that this is a choice only I can make. The great thing about that is that ONLY I get to choose that for me, because along with that choice I have to decide that noone is going to change my mind about being happy that day. This is a goal that has to be taken a day at a time because somedays are easier than others to stay happy. The whole concept of taking 100% resposibility comes into play here. You cant put your mood on anyone but YOU. The same goes for your goals, only you can determine if you have the decipline to make things happen even when it gets hard. The bigger the goal the harder the climb, but the better the view at the top!
