A Reflection on Working Towards Goals

Taken from my morning Reflection and thought it a good one to share with all of you. . .

Today I will review the goals I've set for myself. Have I met some of them? Do some of them seem out of reach? If so, I will consider how I can simplify them by breaking them down into smaller goals.

If one of my goals is to live in a nicer house, I'll look at ways I can begin to work toward that goal. Do I already know what kind of house I want? Where is it? What does it look like? How much will it cost? Perhaps I can change my spending habits, save more money, or begin to establish my credit. I might simply picture my new house in my mind or cut out a picture and tape in on my mirror.

If one of my goals is to have a specific career, I will get a catalog from a college and find out what classes might prepare me for that career. Perhaps I could go to a career training school, work toward a promotion at my current job, or get my GED. I can ask for the help I need to accomplish this.

Today I will choose one goal that seems hard to reach and make a list of the steps necessary to achieve it. When I work toward my goals one step at a time, I can feel successful with each day.

What a beautiful and inspiring post! Could not have said it better if I was revisiting my goals! You continue to inspire me!

Gee thanks Shilpa, however, I need to clarify that I did not write it, but got it from my morning meditation readings, and like you thought, I could not put it into words any better and thought that it was something each one of us on this journey can get some inspiration from and thus I brought it here to share. . .  though according to some friends of mine, I should be writing some of these things and that is a goal of mine to inspire myself and hopefully others to higher goals. . .

Good one Laureen. Thanks

Very nice!
