Do you still have GOALS?

[yourinnervoice]

Now that you're in your Forties:

Do you have:

~ Short term goals
~ Long term goals
~ Would like to have some goals
~You consider yourself too old to have any goals

If you do have goals, please share them! You may be of inspiration to others!

 

[MMXII]

I still have goals.

Short term goal: Find another career
Long term goal: Learn Italian
Learn Afrikaan

I gotta have goals or I'll die.

Every year i make new goals-- short term, long term and way-long term .

This year:

1. make budget & stick to it (doing pretty good!)
2. finish continuing education (did that in May)
3. move back to U.S (did that 3 weeks ago!)
4. apply for and receive scholarships for school (daughter is in private school) DONE!!
5. buy another house (5 year plan)
6. pay off personal loan -- for major dental wk.(1 year--2 months to go!!)

 

[GritsnGrace]

I always have goals, too. Whether or not I ever attain them, is another story!
1. Make a trip to Tucson in August.
2. Build my Avon business.
3. Get out of debt.
4. Buy a house.

I'm really happy to hear that you all have goals, both short-term and long-term (and even longer than that!).

I really like the coment made by MMXII:

I gotta have goals or I'll die.

That is GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goals galore!

My past goals were:

Get a college education
Have a career and support myself and be on my own a while.
If God was wanted it for me, get married and have kids.
Be debt free and financially independant (set along with getting student loans).
To travel the US and hopefully the world.

So far all of those are acheived (only made it to Canada and Mexico beyond the US so far.)

Current goals:
Short term: Fold the laundry and clean my desk.
Medium range: Be the best Mom and Wife I can be.
Long range: Write and be published.

There's a lot more, but that could get a bit boring.

i was listening to Family Life Network this morning on my drive time to work --9am show (i was running a bit late... maybe that should be a goal for me: don't be late to work!!) about having goals that are realistic. It was very interesting about making 2 degree changes -- and not making goals that are too lofty to ever attain.

What stuck with me was taking small actions and watch how that will help you with bigger changes.

Maybe someone else heard that show too? I only had about 10 minutes to listen!

blessings,
andrealin

I see you want to be debt free. I know of 2 ladies that prayed asking them to OWE NO MAN NOTHING BUT LOVE - They prayed that consistently - they did all they could to make it come true and both women have been debt free for years outside of owing property taxes and things of that nature that come on a yearly basis. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!!!

oooooooops - faithmom - not whiteb.

sorry - goofed on the user id not the message and reply though

 

[Auncy]

Long term goal: Find a manufacturer for my patent
Short term goal: clean my condo. But, by the way things look, it might turn into a long term goal.

 

[ElElena]

Cleaning is always a long term goal -- You see, only an empty stable stays clean. So cleaning is my long term goal. My stable is not empty. I live in it.
