Everyone has a Goal in life!
Not to say that all goals should be an ‘Unrealistic’ Goal, but then again. Having seen the power of being told I have some Unrealistic Goals! It got me thinking, just how can some people consider my goals to be unrealistic? It baffles me as to why people think they have to comment on these or write these down in hopes the person who has these goals can get hit in the stomach and try to deflate their balloon sort to speak.
It bothers me!
It always seems to be a point of contention when someone say something like having an ‘Unrealistic Goal’ or it will never happen. As I’ve been looking for a job, I’ve been told several times to go flip burgers, or become a bagger for the local grocery store. All of it has good intentions, saying I don’t have the luxury to pick and choice but then are we just telling people to be mediocre and thus setting ourselves to not be extra-ordinary? Nothing in life is ever going to be easy, I’ve heard it and learned that fact in many ways. I however think the God almighty has given my a desire to be more than I could be. I want to be more than 100%, I want to be 101% or more.
My Goals = ‘Success’ and Their Goals = ‘normal’!
So your probably asking your self, what are my Goals? I’ve got a few that I wouldn’t mind completing but those aren’t what I call ‘Unrealistic’. I am going to share with you a few of my Goals that I hope to complete before I die. Although these may or may not ever be completed it is something that I will continually strive for!
Finding a Job that I love — Nothing in this world will be everyone’s dreams. It is however a dream of mine to have a job that I either have a passion for or is something that helps people with my knowledge and details.
My brother-in-law said that he graduated with an associates degree in History but yet he is selling cars. He said we never get what we want.
I have a thought, are we defeating ourselves before we begin by telling people that we should be mediocre or Normal. What is normal? It is a definition that has plaqued everyone since the word has been used.
Being a Famous writer — Another one is to have people who know who I am far a wide. I know with being famous you have to worry about all sorts of things. Writing has always been my dream since I was a young boy. When I first started this blog about 8 years ago, I decided to make some of my dreams happen. My tenacity to be a writer far out weighs what people thought of me and thus my family never supported me in this endeavor.
Making a Connection to my Reader — Not that I’ve not tried, my dream however is to make more connections with my loyal readers and come up with a way to say thank you for all of them. I haven’t come up with a way because I don’t know who would consider contacting me and talking about themselves and sharing their story to me and possibly my readership. That is one idea, give them their lime light and I’ll be able to say Thank you on my blog to them. To say thank you face to face would be ideal but that also might be ‘Unrealistic’!
As you can see by having these goals, I am saying to myself I will not give in to normal. Having ‘Unrealistic Goals’ makes me want to succeed and not just sit here doing nothing. If anything, it drives me to become a better writer, worker, and friend to everyone I know.
Those are just three of my goals that some people would probably say are ‘Unrealistic Goals’. I don’t know I think each one has merits and possibly. Am I saying that these will happen, maybe but in the scheme of things only time will tell!
