There are two big obstacles I can think of that affect our reaching goals. At least for me, they’re the biggest. Time management and motivation. I could write a lengthy post on each one, and I probably will. For now, let me only say that I’ve read elsewhere that the best way to achieve goals is to focus on just one at a time. Until attainment. I’m a hopper and I have trouble with this very concept. So, off this massive list I made, I probably only reached a half-dozen or so goals out of about a hundred and fifty, and this is over three years. However, if I could pour all my resources on one goal at a time, depending on the goal of course, it is conceivable I could reach a half-dozen a year, or maybe even more!
Here’s a quick list representative of my goals: some wild and weird, others practical. Some are daily habits, others will take a long while to complete. I’ve left off the most personal ones, but I kind of like this sampling:
- Get weight down to 175 pounds
- Complete a marathon
- Be able to do 100 pushups
- Drink green tea every day
- Be a habitual positive thinking
- Learn how to be a lucid dreamer
- Memorize poetry
- Stay organized and neat
- Write 1,000 words or edit one hour every single day
- Get something published
- Visit England, Spain, Czech Republic, Japan, Nepal, Italy
- Visit the Vatican
- Tour the historical spots in the US with my family one summer
- Learn twenty or so classical guitar pieces
- Take piano lessons
- Memorize the Bible
- Become a speed reader
- Become proficient at Chess – a “grandmaster”
- Learn Latin, French, German, Italian
- Study physics, astronomy, and higher mathematics
- Study medicine
