This post has nothing to do with either oranges or antelopes. I am am not particularly good with blog title lines. Perhaps I will get better.
Last week we planted some stuff in the ground! It was such a nice afternoon.
There have been some challenges since then, and I just got off the phone with some friends who are so amazing and insightful and always give me new ways to approach life challenges.
They recommended, as they often do when the discussion turns to things involving life planning, to set goals. I always have been a big proponent of “having a plan”, breaking a big problem down into more maneagable bits. Setting goals is a little different though, and I have to admit it’s something I have not necessarily been really great at doing. I’ve always been more of the plan making type.
So talking with them about goal setting was really inspirational. We talked about setting goals not just for specific external things like career advancement or travel or whatever but also for internal things. Goals on how to be a better person. I like the idea of sitting down and making a personal list of goals. Things like: I want to be the type of person that I would respect. Goals for your values and morality. Long term goals like releasing fears and short term goals like controlling your temper. I have definately thought about these things and already basically have this list together, but I think it would be nice to really lay it all out.
Long term and short term goal list, for Sophia2.0. Next time!
