The other day I was thinking a lot about where I am in life and where I want to go. I thought about the journey. The great times and the times that made eating lemons seem like a sweet thing to do. Has my impact been felt? Can I do more, will I do more, what exactly is it that I want to do? All questions we probably ask ourselves every now and then...I've just been asking a little more regularly.
My personality isn't one that gives me the ability to be content. It's overwhelming to think I may never be satisfied. I set goals with the determination to shatter them. I set them higher and remained determined. As the pieces fall and a new goal is set, the time for reflection of the accomplishment isn't one that I really feel I should take or that I even have. That would in turn disrupt the path to the next achievement and that can't happen.
I'm thankful beyond belief for where I am in life. The credit goes to the creator. No doubt about it. I just feel I should always be doing something or something more. Now I'm not talking about doing the lawn or washing my car...those are things that need to be done, but this isn't my issue. I'm talking about life or perhaps what is important to me in life. This is about where I will be when I'm 40. What more can I learn before that time?
LEARN is my word for 2007. I've been thinking about learning new things a lot for a few days now and thanks to Mark Lee's Blog, I'm making learn my word. I want to learn something new, something more. I want to be better today than I was a day ago. I want to set goals not only in business but in life in general. The things I want to learn may carry no significant weight in the World, but this is about the journey.
How good/great could I be at Tennis if I really dedicated myself? How much better would my song writing abilities be if I could actually play an instrument? What would I learn if I started up my own T-Shirt company? There are so many little and big things that carry my thoughts throughout each day and this year I want to embark on knowing these things, not just thinking about them. I want to succeed or fail, but do one or the other. Doing nothing is not learning...it's nothing.
Life keeps running, if you're lucky. You don't come with an expiration date at birth and we should give thanks to God for that. If we did however, how much more would we learn? The thought of "I'll do it tomorrow" is one that should be locked up and tossed in the deep end.
Off to learning something I go....
