Goals and Challenges

So what challenges you? Is it just that you want to go after something you want? Is it an actual thing that you instilled in your head, or is it that someone said you can't do it...so by golly your just have to?

Challenges are faced whether or not you created them yourself. Its another fun thing apart of life that we deal with on a daily basis. My challenge today is to get enough energy to put some make-up on and go to the store....on a holiday weekend. That's a big challenge! Right now the only motivation I have is that fact that we have no milk. We have beer...but no milk. At least we have the beer right?

Often when people are faced with difficult or stressful situations, they’re left wondering how to deal with them. Sometimes the negative emotions from these situations can feel overwhelming, and solutions seem elusive. However, the challenging situations we face in life are often the ones that offer us the greatest opportunity for personal growth. Even though the question of how to deal with the challenges we face doesn’t always have a simple or easy answer, looking honestly at our situations, experiencing the emotions they bring up, and searching within ourselves for the answers can bring often-surprising positive outcomes.

So make a list. Make it your Challenge list or just plain and simple goals. Set a time frame too to complete them. Mark each thing off when you complete it. Seeing the results will be more uplifting then what you will think. So, you have a list that includes to take out the trash. You did it. You checked it off your list. Guess what? You accomplished something! Whether or not you do a million things a day or just one or two, just do something. challenge yourself. Be goal orientated. Believe it or not it will boost your ego and self esteem and may put in in better situations that you never thought you would be in just because you productive and being a go-getter. 

So its a holiday weekend. Did you mow the lawn? Did you go to the store? Did you go out of your way to pay it forward to someone today? Well looks like you have a lot to do today....as do I.

Enjoy your Holiday weekend and be safe! Best wishes as always. ;)
