LADIES - Please consider the following....

...a goal achieved is a goal lost.....



....think about it

 

[Temple]

You know...
I am going to wake up at 2am and start thinking about that
the same way you do when you get a song stuck in your head
and when that happens I am going to pick up the phone and call your sorry ass.

 

[valerie]

Ah but a goal achieved is one to be remembered and relished. Then the need is to achieve a new, different goal. There are no limits to goals, the only limits are the ones we place on ourselves.

Can't all you handsome guys come up with something better like maybe some nice pics? Yes indeed I'm feeling my oats.-Valerie

 

[newgirl-chargeback]

Well.....I guess I would like to be lost sometime then!!!

My goals are ever evolving as nothing is static, therefore I am more like the rat on the wheel.

Almost exestential..."I think therefore, I am". Good food for thought.

 

[The Shadow]

That's why we have GOALS - notice the PLURAL FORM of the word.

Now be off with you, your trivial pseudo philosophical posts, and quit upsetting my women

I think most men and women train with ONE goal in mind - ie - lose fat...bench xxx - not the best way to get to where you want to go.



Valerie - Doll - I'll post when you do




Temple - sweetness - you know you can call me anytime.

 

[SteelWeaver]

Heh?

 

[SteelWeaver]

Ha ha, kidding.

lol @ Temple. You can add in a few choice expressions for me while on the line, OK?

As for goals - gosh, I have so many I'm fairly sure it'll be a good long while before I get around to achieving them all, even working at full intensity, and by then they will have sprouted new offshoots. My goals are sort of laid out 3-dimensionally, and relate to lots of different areas of my life. But they're all sort of interlinked. I guess kind of like a tree.

My tree of life.

I love trees.

Have you ever seen a giant sequoia? Or a wild fig?

WOW! A FOREST! I think I'll go for a walk in the woods today

 

[The Shadow]

Corn, what do you base that "thought" on?



I have been rereading the original post for days (you posted it in training Wednesday, where it also went over like a lead balloon), and I still can't reach a thought beyond "Heh?"

the thought is this:


A goal is something one should strive for...BUT...once it is accomplished - it is no longer a goal.....

...keep motivated is the main point.

 

[The Shadow]

No longer a goal, yes. Lost, no.

IMHO, of course.

...sure it is......once it is accomplished it is no longer a goal - but rather a past history - a reality

Gee, if you don't have goals (I agree with WarLobo's use of the plural) you have nothing to strive for and nothing with which to measure your accomplishments.

I use short-term and long-term goals. The short-term are things I can accomplish, well, in a reasonable amount of time. They're personal atta-boys. I even use mini-goals when I'm working on something truly difficult.

The short-terms aren't really lost once they're accomplished. They're badges of honor. I did this. Now, set some new short-terms and maybe add another long-term.

Maybe by lost, you mean that you can't ever stop striving. I'd agree with that. I just don't see an accomplishment as something lost. It's something to savor.
