Goals for Goals

Ahh goals. I’m sure we are all familiar with them. Those things you form into lists and compile every January 1st. I know I’ve had my fair share of them. But as I’m sure you’ve heard before, a goal really isn’t a goal unless it is attainable. How do you make it attainable? By making the necessary baby steps towards reaching it. You need to set a time frame and keep yourself in check occasionally to make sure you are still along the right path. You also need to be flexible, and understand that things for whatever reason could change the time frame for you goal – or even your goal itself! One thing I know for certain…. once you reach a goal you’ve worked so hard towards you have a brief moment of that sweet smell of success. Then, if you are a goal oriented person, you will probably quickly set a further goal. 🙂

I’m sitting here contemplating some of my goals that were not forgotten, but also not been managed well. A goal without a plan is only a dream, right? And I have tons of those too 😉

Right now I have made a top 5 – not in any order (well, with the exception of the financial ones). If you have to many at one time, it tends to get overwhelming….and the 5 I have vary in length. I’m gonna go ahead a share them:

1. Take the necessary steps towards finishing my ADN so I can take the N-CLEX for my RN.

2. Pay off our credit card. Period.

So there you have it. Once you have your goals, do like I said and then take one a time and break it down piece by piece to see what you have to do to get there. 🙂

I plan on giving a mini update here and there to help keep myself accountable. 😉
What are your goals???
