Goals

So one thing that I am absolutely horrendous at is setting goals. Both long-term and short-term. I have seen how my work, habits, life gets done in fits of fiery passion that flame up and die down. In the past I have justified these flares as a test of sincerity, telling myself, at least I know that when I do something, I am in it 100% no looking back. But there is the other side of this page, which may just be a lack of discipline. Even between the last sentence to this sentence, I have already stopped to check my email twice, finish an email, write the first sentence of a cover letter, and wondered about when I should start my homework. Discipline in all things, spiritually, physically, mentally. And we've been told this our entire lives. Set goals. From school, from church, from parents, from random engineering classes where setting goals actually matter. When I usually set goals, they do not get realized. And I'm usually okay with that, because then they can be a continuing goal.

But no.

There are lifelong goals that I want to accomplish (God-willing) and after thinking about them a little more, I look forward to facing them head on.
