Confession: it’s July and I have yet to write down my goals for the year.
I remember January of this year coming and going. Once February came, I remember thinking that I could still get back on track with writing down my goals and ringing in the Chinese New Year. Now it’s July and I still haven’t written down my goals.
Part of me feels frustrated for not having the time that I’d like to do things like writing down my goals. At the same time, part of me feels frustrated for letting myself think that that “perfect” time will come.
But perhaps this is exactly what I am (re-)learning:
- There is no such thing as the “perfect” time to do something. At the same time, don’t forget to be kind to yourself.
- The metrics that we self evaluate ourselves, which are often related to our goals, need to be updated.
- This is my new “normal,” and it is indeed trying to hit a moving target.
I think part of why I haven’t written down my goals yet is because I don’t really know what realistic goals look like for me in this season of life. As much as I try to come to accept these facts, it doesn’t make things simple.
What I do know is that I am doing my best.
Goal check! How have you been doing on achieving your goals this year? Are you stuck like me? Are you rocking it?
