Goals,Goals, Set your Goals!  Everyone says it! The successful ones do it!  looked up the word "Goal" in the dictionary. This is what I  came up with:

1. target; purpose, object, objective, intent, intention. 2. finish.

I can see by this definition that I need to get more focused on my future plans.  No, I mean that I need to actually plan my future plans! It is time to stop letting life just "happen" to me.  I have for a long time lived my life by faith. I still believe that is the best way to live, but to have faith for "something" is how things get done! 

What are my targets for 2008?  First off, to be FREE.  My kids laugh at me for saying that all the time but freedom is crucial to my life, and really, to all of our lives.  FREEDOM is awesome.  It is life changing and life giving!  It is so full of HOPE and PROMISE. It can cut you from your past and turn you into a new person.  I like that thought!  I liked it enough to believe it will come to pass.

Imagine being unable to live your dreams because of some sort of roadblock in your life.  Suddenly, that roadblock is gone!  It has been knocked down. What will you do?  Do you launch out on your path or do you stand back, not believing you can move...maybe even finding another way to block that path so you don't have to move.

It is time to make plans!  Time to target the goal! Time to discover your purpose and then achieve it!  GeneralFull steam ahead!

Writing down goals has always been a nebulous task for me.  They float about in space.  I see them, and then they vanish and I wonder if there were really my goals in the first place.

I learned something this week.  When I was working on my art I was having soooo much fun that I realised that this was indeed a goal of mine. "To work at my art and have a blast at it!"

I find I must write this goal down now. It will be like capturing it somehow. I will be able to say, "I did it!, I acheived my goal.  I had a blast!".  Hooray!

I will have to go outside tonight, look up into the heavens and see what other goal will be floating about in the skies ready to be captured!
