Goals Anyone?
It’s
time to begin thinking about goals for next year. Before long the New Year will
be upon us, so it might be a beneficial period for thought. You may want to
review this year’s goals as well and see if those goals
are becoming a reality. It’s a great time to cultivate
our thoughts of future endeavors.
One Day at A Time
There are
some of us who find it better to take things one day at a time. It helps to keep us grounded in who we are and
what we do. The less we forecast the better off our mind’s function. Obsessing
over a grandiose idea is a recipe for failure. I like to keep things simple.
Life can be challenging enough without our help.
Project Time
Some people
wrap themselves so strongly into goals it prevents them from seeing what’s in
front of their face. That’s why I prefer to create a project, instead of numerous
goals. It’s nice to have flexibility and not set deadlines. The freedom to
create and the necessary time to finish the project is paramount to success!
Degree of Success
There is a
greater feeling of success at performing one
significant goal, instead of being mediocre
with succeeding in a group of goals. Making a direct impact is a sure-fire way to
make a difference. A series of small goals can be great for positive reinforcement, however; isn't any large goal in reality consumated by a series of small steps anyway? The risk is larger, but the reward is greater!
I never have
particularly cared to be locked into someone else’s goals, because goals should
be personal. When you are working towards someone else’s goal it’s just that- someone else’s! The procedure becomes a game or exercise, hardly worthwhile.
A tribe of people interconnected for the same
reason can create a common goal if the motivation is shared throughout the
tribe. Being stuck in an organization doesn’t carry the same degree of thought,
excitement or cause.
So pick a
goal, tribe or project.
Whatever- you choose.
Just make it
noble, realistic and genuine.
Follow
through with the intent.
At the end
of the day- it’s all that matters!
What goals or projects are you
planning?
Until
We Meet Again,
