goals

Do we always follow our set goals or do we eventually trade them in for new ones? Every year we start out with a unique list of goals that we all want to accomplish for the start of the new year. We go strong for the first few weeks but after that we give up and the goals start to fall apart. What would happen of we all stuck to our goals. We would all be the ideal weight we want to be, our eating habits would be so much healthier, our job career or choice might be something that you are not doing now, all of our homework would be done on time, and we would all be 4.0 students. So what happens? Why do we fall short to achieve something that we once wanted. For me personally I get tired of doing the same things over and over again. I would switch it up everyday, which might help. Let's say we work out and do weights on day and cardio the next. It could make it easier to lose the weight, but you could lose track switching back and forth day after day. Goals are a hard task to stick to but that's why we set them. We dont set goals if they wouldn't be work, then it would just be an everyday task and would no longer be a goal. Goals are unique and special and we need to set more.

Priorities

What are priorities? Priorities are any thing that is regarded as more important than another. Mine consist of family, work, school, and my health for the main part. Sometimes though they change. I used to have my priorities set on soccer and singing but I eventually learned that they are not as important. Yesterday I should have spent more time working on schoolwork, reading, and working on my speech outline for my public speaking class but instead I spent time with my friend and went shopping around town. There have been many times when I have done something fun instead of serious, but how many people haven't?

People set priorities based on their lifestyles and how they were raised. I have a friend that would rather spend all of her money on clothes, make-up, and her new mustang rather than on an education, health check ups, and things to help better her life. I know many people who would do anything for their kids over doing something for themselves. When I have kids they will be my number one priority. They will be my life.

When I just googled priorities I found many different choices to choose from. I found the definition, some examples, but what struck me as interesting was pollingreport.com. On the website they take polls about political problems or issues. One of the questions they asked was "looking ahead, which of the following should be the highest priority for Congress after the election?" 38% answered by passing a new stimulus bill and 24% answered with cutting federal spending. The people want the economy's priority to cut the spending of money in the United States. Along with many money seems to be a big priority in their live and even though it helps it should not be the top priority. There are many more serious issues then money.

Perfect?

Why is society so hard on little kids. They have the pressure to be perfect everywhere they go. Music, movies, tv. It's a neverending battle. They have super models who are a size 00 and they are pressured to look just like them. They have their teachers telling them that they have do everything perfectly. News flash no body is perfect. People will be who they are no matter how much pressure they are facing. You can't change people. People have committed suicide from the pressure to fit into society. Who created this modern day society? Who is responsible for these deaths that occur daily? Who has given all the kids the picture that they have to be someone they are not?

Everything you've done for me

This song has been in my head so much recently. We could never thank him enough for what he has done. He has given us eternal life, ETERNAL life. There is nothing better than feeling the presence of God as you move forward in the day. Words can't even express how it makes you feel. You just get a warm tingly feeling inside and nothing compares. You can hear him speak to you and you realize thats it's just to you and no one else at the exact point. Communicating with him is the most powerful thing in the world I know. I wouldn't trade it with anything. You leave that five minutes in prayer or worship changed. You become a whole different person. You become a better person. You look at life with a new perspective.

second guessing

I have come to realize that I second guess myself way to much. Whether it's over a test or a decision in life I always wonder if I am making the right decisions. I change my answer and then it's the wrong one and I realize I should have gone with my gut. You never know what to do until you have done it and it's over. There is no turning back. It could be that one moment you need to be right that could make or break you. That big moment that you put a lot of thought into and then last minute change your mind. Even if the result was what you wanted what would have happened if you picked the other one? Would you be where you are today?

second chances

Does everyone really deserve a second chance? Should people be forgiven for their decisions that can upset or hurt you? There are so many people who give out to many chances or get away with too many things. I am a firm believer in second chances and I feel that they are necessary to maintain friendships.To be forgiven and forget are two completely different things. I think you should more than always forgive but you can never forget. Whether it's the good or bad it never leaves your mind. People can only have so many chances before they have to many. If you forgive them and then they make the same mistakes over and over what it the purpose of it. If people constantly make bad decisions they need to eventually learn to make the right decision to help better them or their relationships. People learn from their mistakes and by giving them a second chance it only helps them realize the mistakes they made and to improve so that it doesn't happen again.
