Goals

I have been thinking a lot about having goals lately. Stems from my overall life dissatisfaction, feeling that I am not as far along as I want to be, pretty much in anything. My career, my friendships, my personal development. I have high standards, I am not there. If there is, in fact, an attainable "there" to get to at all for me (I think my bar may continue to rise as I rise to reach it).

I want, I want, I want. But I never sit down and make a plan of attack to get. I only "get" if it is a simple process, almost whereby I can simply do one step that begins me on the path and the end is thereby inevitable. If it requires a plan, I don't ever seem to get there, mostly because I never actually sit down and plan it out.

I'm not much of a list maker; I have a certain disdain for making lists and never getting anywhere. I don't want to be that person. I believe in the words of the enlightened one (Yoda): "do or do not; there is no try." Live it. Don't list it.

But, I do think that sometimes, to reach difficult goals, you have to have a plan. So here goes:

# 1 - Sit down sometime this weekend and develop a list of goals.

There. I feel better now, I have a plan (to make one, anyway).
