Today, A New Start...Goals

Hey, crazy how things work out... I guess when the time is right, everything falls into place.
What have you decided on in your life? How would you feel if you come face to face with your accomplishments? What makes you motivated to finish your goal?
1. What have you decided on in your life?
For me, it was or is a matter of thought for many days or months. Forget weeks because they go by too fast. I decided over two years ago that I had to do something about my health. First accomplishment took another year and a half to get the health insurance I needed. On from there I go to gain my momentum to work on my goal. trying to eat right, maintaining a good balance of foods I should eat, and recording my in take of these foods (or trying to) in order to gain an understanding of food control and dietary changes needed.

2. How would you feel if you come face to face with your accomplishments?

Seeing what you can do or noting an accomplishment is a motivation in itself. When my husband and I chose to get our finances in order, it seemed like forever before we could get a clear vision of how we could make it happen. As I mentioned in a previous blog, it happened suddenly. It actually took us 5 years to get ourselves from bankruptcy to credit approval status. Because we persevered and paid old bills off, got rid of unneeded items or debt, and changed our lifestyle we have noticed how easy it actually is to get our financial situation on a good way.

3. What makes you motivated to finish your goal?

Motivation comes in many forms. Our financial goals are accomplished because we were tired of phone calls and going without the things we felt were important. Wanting a home of our own and not tossing money in the wind throughout the years of renting. We were motivated even more as the clearness of the goal being accomplished comes closer.
My dietary goals are a struggle right now. I am closer to getting things done but I know that some of the things I need to do are on me and not the Doctor or the Dietician. I must decide for myself how important this is to me. I must want more than anything to improve my health, my outlook on the future, and my physical and emotional well being. For me, my motivation is being a skinny or smaller person. I have always been over weight. It's time I feel, act and look better if not for me, for my life and future.

Goals are the backbone of everything we do. Life is not life if there isn't some kind of goal in it. For me? My goal is to become as God is... Perfect so I can be with him again and know that my spiritual, physical and emotional self are as perfect as they can be.
