goals...

So I would say my goal at life is to love God and others.  However this becomes a distant and vague fog when it comes to the humdrum of everyday life.  I'm been thinking on what is failure to me.  Okay so I know that I spoke about goals and now failures.  I guess we can look directly at our goals and assess whether we have hit the mark or not.  

Failure may not be as dramatic as being fired or being deported or losing a friendship/relationship but might be something like eating that 10th cookie when you said you were only going to have one.  I realized that I was doing this...beating myself up about something that actually wasn't a major goal in my life when I really think about it clearly.  My mail goal in life is not to avoid cookies however I was treating this 'failure' as if it was my one and only goal.  I understand that life consists of small goals and bigger goals (some that require more dedication and commitment) and I am not trying to diminish your inner resilience to complete tasks and accomplish efforts towards your goals.  However I am having to remind myself of what my goals are and treating them in the essence in which I first viewed them.  

It's about balance.  It's about being kind to yourself.  

Different seasons the sub main goals will differ and we should adjust accordingly.  
Stop trying to be perfect.
Enjoy the season you're in.

Love,
Sarah
