goals

Cheers to something new! I have never tried blogging from my phone before. Sitting in a panera, like I havo fir so many previous posts. Honestly. I am pretty sure the ratio would be pretty ridiculous to see. Anyways I am waiting for a friend who I have been meeting with for over a month now. We stated meeting weekly to discuss goals. It has been a slow process of getting together for coffee or dinner and discussing goals as well as life in general. It is sort of a time for us to process each week together and then discuss the future by creating and working in our personal goals together. When we were discussing the idea of doing goal setting and accountability together I started doing some research on goalsetting techniques. And strategies. At first it was a little intimidating, it was also motivating. But goal setting is intimidating because you are making decisions in what is important to you, what you think your life could be like/ what you want it to be like, how much you expect/ desire from yourself and your life. I felt like goals took a different meaning for me when I started putting them down on paper. Honestly at that point it is just you staring at something you have decided you want to do, experience, or become. That is very real. Goal setting has made me take a hard look at what I believe about life and the things that I want out of my life. It honestly made me think I am a pretty selfish person but hopefully this will inspire growth. Goal setting also puts your failures right in front of your face. When you say your going to do something and you get to the point that you said you would do it by and have not done it, that can be defeating. Of course you can't allow "failures" to compromise the journey of achieving your goals. I have to refocus myself when that happens and make sure I get baxck on track as soon as possible. Well my friend is here. More on this journey later.
