Quick! what's your next goal?
come on...
come on...
what's next?
Now..maybe I'm not old enough to know what is next...perhaps i'm just not quite quick enough to think of the answer but like many people out there...we really dont' know. I'm not saying that can't live without a goal...I'm simply say that you must be willing to find your direction.
Many people that I see often tell me..."I don't know where I'm going in my life...I don't know what's going to happen..I don't know even what makes me happy"
That's a different blog topic in itself...What makes you happy....
anyways, a lot of these people have no future goal...no future "happy" place...think about it...when growing up...we thought...damn..the school year is over for summer in 1 month...you let the anticipation grow....you let it build and when it finally gets here what happens? you feel sooooo free! SOOOOOO FREE!! you hear the bell ring and suddenly you are the happiest person alive knowing that you have vacation.
Remember that crush you had back in grade school? you see them walking...you want to talk to them...to hook up with them to have them ya know...do stuff ...with you. yeah. you know. Then weeks before the big dance you work up the courage to ask them out, pick out your clothes, you reherse what you're going to say, you pick out the day of the week to do it...most likely a friday so that they dont have to see you the next day...and then you ask them out...and they say...."no" but then you find them dumped at the dance...drunk and you get to make out with them without all the work...this is a goal moment. j/k.
see the power of goals though? they push us...they create a sense of urge and drive in us that we need to follow. Goals help to lead us to do what is necessary to get there. Vacation is coming..I need to get good grades....the girl is hot...I need to work out more....
What do we have as adults in relation to that?
A better question is...what do we have as adults that we can strive for? many work the nine to five...day in and day out not knowing where to go next...they may have stopped growing. Others continue to go to school...I did this degree...now I should do this one...now I should do this one...and on and on and on....
If you have a family....perhaps your goal now becomes raising a strong loving child...that's is amazing..what other goal do you have for yourself? maybe learn an instrument...learn to knit....learn to strip...learn to write...find your own goal..find your own motivation...
When people come see me and tell me that they have no drive, motivation or purpose...I ask them to find one. I work with them in finding something in their life to build on and work towards.
Some choose to try and learn an instrument..others drive to learn how to cook...while others devote themselves to reading my blog....push yourself to be a more complete person...don't do it something new once and say, "i'm not interested" then move on-
...challenge yourself to try it many times before making a judgment...aim for a goal- only then will you be a better person..a more complete person...someone slowly becoming more whole.
what is your goal? where to next?
are you there yet?
