Today is the goal of yesterday.

It’s difficult sometimes to stop and really look at what our goals in life are all about. I, for one, set many goals for myself. Most are not life changing or require deep thought. Many are merely things I must remember to do because they didn’t get done the last time I placed them on the “to do” list. Others become personal challenges that I surmise through deep thought may increase my self-worth. I believe that is also called self-esteem.

The point I seem to struggle with daily is which one of these goals should I really hold close to my heart and abandon all fear and take the “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead attitude”? If a goal is a goal should not all of them qualify for that reckless, single-minded attitude? Surely they can’t all be placed at the top of the list. There has to be one and only one that quests for the Holy Grail. Yet each was important enough to be a part of the list. Now, this means that one of the most important goals to be set is the prioritizing of goals. It’s so simple a thought that one might question why all the fuss over such a simple idea. The answer is plain and truly obvious: thinking has to be organized before doing. Otherwise, any goal is doomed to failure.
