Perhaps the writing of goals and objectives should have taken a higher number, but at 23 they are no less important.

Yearly, I write our goals.  These are not New Year's Resolution because those only last until the hangover goes away.

No, these are bona fide goals.  I write my own, April writes her's and my son Hunter gets help from both of his parents in his.

They come in three categories:

1. Self Improvement

2. Professional

3. Physical

 

One goal in each!  Then to meet those goals we write three objectives to help obtain the plan.

More than THREE is too many to focus on, and any less is being lazy.

3 Goals/ 3 objectives

I would kid my friends in the past about a "man without a plan, is like a ship without a rudder.  It floats but it is destined for disaster."  It's true.  Looking back, I've hit about 95% of all the goals that I've written, while missing 100% of the one's I had not.

However, and this is important...Goals are written in CONCRETE while the objectives are written in SAND!

I have learned that there are more ways to skin a cat.  We get so caught up and hell bent to achieve, that sometimes we lose sight of "life" in its natural flow.  Now I'm not going all yin and yang on ya, but...the definition of insanity???  Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

So the next time you are applying an objective to meet the goal and it isn't working....CHANGE the objective.  Give up on the one that isn't working right now (you can try again later) and move to something that will be successful and in turn add to effort of obtaining the GOAL!

Example: Today was a squat day!  My back is torqued up from doing stupid shit this past week.  I looked at the stupid shit again this morning and thought...well, it IS programmed and I need to do it, when I realized that it would RETARDED if I did,.

I threw it out, squatted and dead lifted and now can sit without pain in my low back and sciatic nerve.  AH-HA!  Smarter than I look, and I'm about as ugly as Einstein.  (I read that I wasn't good looking from a small armed reader...hahahahahaha....Fuck you, I look like a jacked Bruce Willis, or so I am told!  Now if you think Bruce is a dogface, then ok, I am ugly...but you still have small arms)
