Thing #3

Woe! I got here and that's been quite a challenge for me.

But no time to waste...moving on. As I reviewed the Seven Habits of Highly Successful People, it was quite easy for me to identify the 1st (goal setting) as my most difficult step in the path of success. I tend to live in the here and the now, ya know. No longer in the past like I once did, and like I think many of us do as we, ahem... "age", but definately not in the future dreaming up new adventures for myself. And this is bad.
Bad Bad Bad!!
But I think as we start families, we tend to put our personal goals aside for a few years, which is understandable, especially those far reaching, time consuming, self absorbing kind of goals. Not that that's the only kind. LOL! But for me it tends to lean that way. Maybe that is my problem in itself with goal setting. Maybe I need to realize that goals don't need to big "all that". Maybe they can be simple things that don't exactly require overthrowing the government. hmmm...?
I may be onto something here.

You are very right when you say that at certain times in our lives we must concentrate on different things...they are still goals in many respects...and I really agree with you on the idea of what "goal" is preceived as meaning and what it really should mean to us personally!
