Not having goals is a much more dangerous failure than not reaching all of the goals that you have set for yourself. When you don’t have goals, you cannot measure your progress and see the reward for your effort. However, when you have not reached your goals, you feel motivated and inspired to work harder and achieve more. Keep setting goals and striving to make progress…reaching each goal is just icing on the cake.
Life is like a body of water. It must remain in motion to stay clear and pure. When there is no motion, no progress, both a life and a body of water, become stagnant, cloudy, and harmful to humans.

And yet others are constructed in trees that sway…

Sure, I wake up every day with these ideas about what I want to do, but more times than not, things will not go the way I am hoping it will. I could get all out of sorts, but why? What is the point? What good would it do? God…
We each have a past that has contributed to the person that we are today. But those events and experiences do not define who you are or limit your future. It was only a starting point. You have the power to decide where you go from this day forward. With hard work and dedication, you can build any life that you desire.

There is nothing worse than looking back and wondering “what if “… When opportunity knocks, don’t shy away. Boldly open the door and say, “why not!”
