I am in love with goals. If goals were a vegetable, I would pick bushels of them, eat them until I was sick, and then freeze the rest so that I could have a continuous supply of goals through the cold months.
One thing I have learned about goals, however, is that, like vegetables, if you don't use 'em or freeze 'em right away, they go bad. Some of them go bad in a spectacular fashion. Like if you vow to lose 20 pounds at the beginning of the year, forget about the goal, and then discover Haagen-Daas ice cream sometime in June . . . not only is that goal to lose weight gone bad, but it's bad like stinking in the bottom of your crisper drawer bad. With rotten goal juice eeking around it.
And other goals go bad in a sort of failure to stay relevant way. Like if you suddenly crave sweet potatoes and buy a ton of them. If you don't cook all of them, you'll have those few lonely ones left over. They'll never go bad in a fantastically awful way, but you'll end up throwing them away after eight months because you just don't want them anymore. So goals should be checked often and the ones that are really timely ought to be attacked immediately.Continue reading "You Gotta Have Goals" at Red Easel .
