Hello, hello, hello! Thanks for stopping by today. So glad to have you along for the read. Today’s post is about deciding what you really want. Think about it and leave me a comment (or if you’re reading this in your email, you can hit reply to get in touch.)

I saw a graphic/question go by on Facebook the other day and to paraphrase, it asks what did you really want out of life when you were a child?

When I was little I wanted to be a vet, I loved to play teacher and my parents say I made one heck of a nurse.

But kids rarely know what they want in life and I find that my aspirations change  fairly frequently.

There was a point where I thought I wanted to be a psychologist. Thank goodness I didn’t. I already have enough voices in my head thanks to characters.

I suppose the question isn’t as simple as what do you want out of life but what will you have to do to get it? What will you be willing to sacrifice to achieve it?

Moving Target

I think knowing what you want is half the battle. Figuring out what steps it takes to get what you want is a good portion of the second half. Execution is the last chunk.

But I’ve also found that goals and dreams are moving targets. Just as soon as you hit your goal weight, the holidays could sweep through and now you’re five pounds heavier again. And sometimes goals change. Maybe life changes. Maybe your goal for to buy sporty little car doesn’t make sense because you get married and have a wolfcub of your own.

I’ve learned not to get too attached to goals. Flexibility helps in the long run. But it’s nice to daydream…

Now over to you!

Do you have any lofty goals? Let’s hear em! Leave a comment below.
