Goals.

I am all about goals, to do lists, and getting things accomplished...but this was pushed to the limits this morning.

Swallow bursts in my room at 8:30, already talking a mile a minute and decides that it is time for me to wake up. I guess that is my pay back for always waking up Werd in college. HAHAHA. Back to the point...During Swallow's ramblings she informed me that my goal for the day was to find this girl named Jessica (a hair dresser). Now picture this, I am out cold. Never in my life have I heard anything about Jessica. I rise enough to say, how and where do I find her. Swallow enlightens me that she found her online with 9 really good reviews from people. The kicker to that is she doesn't remember how she came across good ole' Jessica's information. Okay, so here we are..Swallow is setting my goal, telling me what it is, however, not providing any information about how to get it accomplished. I pretty much nod along, like I do in most of our conversations when I am being told what to do. The last thing she tells me before she runs out the door is, oh and Jessica only works Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Maybe one of you can inform me, just how am I suppose to complete my goal today?

I really believe in setting goals, big or small. I enjoy goals. I enjoy having something to work towards. I enjoy the mass of emotions I feel when I accomplish a large goal. I even enjoy crossing things off of lists, because I feel accomplished. In a small sense it makes me feel as though I have been a success. When I was a child, I was given a round piece of paper that believe it or not I still have to this day. The piece of paper read "The only person that can motivate you, IS YOU." Feeling the success of crossing things off my list, accomplishing a goal big or small, helps me continue to motivate myself. Motivation is huge! It is easy to motivate yourself if you continue to have the hunger or drive in your blood, but some have to work everyday at it. I choose to work everyday. I choose to strive day in and day out to motivate myself. That is one reason I have chosen to pick up some of the hobbies I have, they lead me down a path to simple success.

Today, my goal is not to find Jessica. Because in the big picture, Swallow wants me to be the guinea pig for this Jessica person. Instead, I have a list of about 10 other things I would like to get done before the end of the week. Even though some of the goals are small they are still worth having. That is only aspect in life that I really do enjoy.

Make it an absolutely fantastic day. :)
