Happy New Year!

I spent the first couple of days of this 2014 year thinking of goals that I am striving to accomplish this year. When I finished writing down some short-term goals & then some long-term, I noticed that some of the short term goals might be a little too lofty in short amount of time. I thought I would come back & revise it later on that day or the next day.

I hadn't gotten to Dean's first Weekly Wisdom of 2014 yet. When I opened it up and he started talking about how we can't focus on doing things right away & trying to rush things when they take time to develop. The thought came to my mind that I might need to change some of goals to be more realistic for me. Then Dean said "It's a marathon".

It was a cool revelation, because for a split second, I thought I was going to be a failure for not being able to reach some goals that others can make. But if Dean can say "It's a marathon", shouldn't that reassure me that it's okay for things to take time?

Consequently, I changed my goals to suit me. Not other's expectations, me. That's not saying you should be lazy and put things off, because you wanted to reach your goal in 6 months. Continue to work hard and do something every day & good things will happen.

One of my short term goals is to post a comment, question, & or something every day for the rest of the weekend. Then it'll be a week, then a month. We'll see how it goes, but I want to be held accountable so help me out DG Family!

Happy New Year!
