Goals in Sight

Keeping my post relatively short this week, as I don’t have much to say. I’m still working on getting back to goals and so far have been making progress. I’m also very excited for what I have planned next!

Goals and Purpose

People set goals all the time to accomplish the tasks in front of them. Some are expansive and broad, while others are precise and specific. Setting goals gives us direction in what is essentially an unbound life. We always “can” pursue near infinite avenues – each having its own set of consequences, good, bad, or neutral.

A number of my goals this year were based in taking some ideas to the next level, while others were to begin work on areas I’ve long put off, like my dating life! At the end of September, I found myself falling into the deep end of some bad habits. While progressing back, I am looking over my goals and wondering in what way can I commit to them.

Taking steps to get on track for progress on each goal has been a boost to morale. I’m far from perfect in my daily habits but happy with the progress I’m making to get back to where I want to be.

I do want to highlight that I am still finding time to relax and have fun while getting back into things. While playing Destiny led me to develop a bad game addiction, by letting go of trying to accomplish every little thing in the game, I’ve been able to enjoy the time played far more. Most often, play time is spent with friends, one of the key reasons I started playing in the first place.

NaNoWriMo

I’ve spent a few days considering this as my next trial, but I think it will be a great way to get myself into good habits, while tackling a challenging goal I set for myself. For the month of November, I’ll be participating in National Novel Writing Month, a challenge to write a 50,000 word story in a month’s time.

One of my goals this year is to write a story; I don’t see a better opportunity to challenge myself to do so than this one here.
