We set goals every day. Sometimes it's something as simple as getting to work on time. Sometimes, it's something more ambitious like losing a significant amount of weight. Whatever your goal is, it should be well-defined, reasonable, and measurable.
Saying, "I want to be in shape," is too vague to mean anything. Saying, "I want to lose twenty pounds and run a marathon," is clear and measurable.
When I started this blog, I had a vague goal: to give up news and improve myself. From this exercise, I have defined one new goal: I have promised myself I would write every day until the year is over. More importantly, I am becoming much more self-aware. I am closer to God. I find myself wanting more, making a shift to spirituality, to meaning. I don't know what it means, but I am trying to find out.
I know what I like, but not always what I feel. I often don't understand my own thoughts. I feel the presence of God in my life, but I don't always understand what he's trying to tell me - or maybe I don't want to.
My goal is to be the best person I can be. Man, how wishy-washy is that? If you don't know where you're going, your liable to get there. Use a road map. Figure out what you're good at and what you want your life to mean. Then go about reaching that goal.
Let me know how it goes. I'll keep you posted.
