I am bad with goals. I gaze upon a five year plan with fear and trepidation. It just seems so large, and I'm terrible at breaking it down into bite-sized pieces to swallow along the way. And it paralyzes me to any type of action.
"In five years, I want to be doing THIS. I want to have accomplished THAT. In five years I will have CHANGED my life."
Gulp.
But maybe it's not about five years. Maybe if it's about today, I can stand it. The choices I make today, the decisions and directions I go in. If I have to change my life in one giant leap, I don't think I'm going to make it. But maybe there's hope for me if every small step makes a difference.
So today I'm going to do something that changes my life. Hopefully tomorrow, too. Who knows, I might just do it the day after that, as well. And in five years I may wake up and say "Well what do you know, I'm somewhere different than where I started..."
