Goals

-

As I was driving to work today, I realized I'm close to reaching my short term goals...then it hit me, "Are most people ever satisfied with reaching their goals?"  Am I ever satisfied with my goals?  I'm not. Is it because we love the chase...the challenge...?

After thinking about it for awhile, I thought about all the goals I have chased and realized, its not that I love the challenge, its not because I can't be satisfied, its because these goals were not designed for me.  Not that they were meaningless, but not designed for me because I doubted my qualities and skills which disabled my mind; I didn't give myself a chance to realize what gave me fulfillment, so I ended up chasing the wrong goals.

Putting limitations on desires defeats the ability to reach your potential ...  I guess, like I've said before, today is a good day to start planing for something new... hopefully, in the right direction.

Goodbye, Butterflies

-
Do you remember the days when liking someone was just enough?  For some, it didn't matter how they treated you, what kind of attention the gave or didn't give to you, whether or not they had goals, who their friends were, how they got along with their family, if they were reliable, responsible, and whether or not they would make a good father... or mother. When I was in high school, I chose the boys who were cute because they gave me "butterflies"; up into my mid-twenty's I chose the guys who had a nice face, muscular body, and who knew how to have fun because they gave me excitement...and you know what that got me? A LOT of good pictures LOL! J/K :-) No...but seriously, I was shallow, but then again can we really help who we are attracted to and how they make us feel?  Nevertheless, I found that its not about choosing the guy because of who he is, how he is, or how "excited" he makes you feel - its about choosing for you . As the years go by, we s...

The Law of Love

-
I remember once there was this guy I dated and I have to be honest…he was an attractive guy and fun to hangout with, but I automatically knew I could never see myself with him in my future.   Now I look back and ask myself why? I mean, how could that be if I never gave him a chance?   Truth be told, I didn’t want to give him a chance, but only because I knew in my heart it could never be.   Is that something a person automatically knows?   It must be…could it be that –that was one of Gods gifts he gave to us?   An unknown, somewhat psychic ability to determine if someone is right for us, whether we know them or not? All I can say is, I too, have been in his shoes before just as many others have and its not a great feeling knowing someone automatically knows they can’t see themselves with you – it doesn’t even have to do with you liking the person, but it has to do with you being rejected.   The let down is in hearing that you can never be that “specia...

Sometimes Things Are Meant to Be Left Behind

"When you focus on what's missing, it's hard to see what's there." - Emily P. Freeman Have you read the book, The Next Right Thing, by Emily P. Freeman? I was looking through book reviews on Amazon in hopes to find a book that would help me with making a decision about something I am confused about. Have you ever been so focused on a career goal (for so long) that it is possible you either 1) lost who you are in the process or 2) started to wonder if maybe your goals need to adjust and accommodate to your current life circumstances? Well.... I will say that Emily's perspectives are helping me eliminate the fogginess I have pertaining to career aspirations, but more importantly, it is also helping me ease the guilt of feeling confused. She's helping me feel okay about telling myself, "Maybe you just don't have the same career goals anymore, and there is nothing wrong with that." I am discovering that sometimes we think we are lea...
