Goals: Don't limit yourself

Goals. We spend our life crafting and achieving goals. We set the goal to make a school sports team or be in the school band. We challenge ourselves with that first term paper or essay. We create a spiritual life and community. We set a goal of education. We meet someone, get married, buy a house, maybe have a family. We start over when our goal does not work out. Setting goals and challenging ourselves is part of being fully human. This goes for athletic or physical goals too. Anything worth doing pushes us, awakens us and leads us to be the best version of our self that we can be. Personal physical goals can be as simple as losing 5 pounds, walking to the end of the street or as difficult as running a marathon. The hard is what makes it worth doing. If it was easy, the challenge would not be worth our best effort.

Get out there and enjoy the challenge, it is a road worth taking.
