Setting Goals

Where do we go from here? I thought I was on a quest for enlightenment, but a major road block just got in the way. Roadblocks always seem to appear when you are on the road towards your goals and dreams. Some people see a roadblock and throw in the towel. Good. Those people didn’t really want what they thought they wanted. If they did, a roadblock would be nothing more than a simple problem to work through.

You see – when you love something, you are willing to fight for it, to work extra hard, and you don’t let simple roadblocks get in the way. So, ask yourself – do you really want what you are working towards? Or, are your goals meaningless and impersonal. Maybe someone told you that you should do something, and so it becomes your goal even though you don’t care about it as much as you would if it was a goal you set for yourself.

I just realized that my 5 year goals are really important to me. I realize that in order to get my slice of heaven I need to put more time in on the corporate path. That will help my husband and I live out our dream in a small town where we can relax and enjoy life. I have side goals too – like to develop this blog more and explore important topics like mental health and spirituality, but it will be a hobby for now – an important hobby, but a hobby no less.

Do you let roadblocks get in the way?
