Perfecting My Aim

I tend to be a goal-oriented person.  While I will veer off course if I see something shiny, I generally have a destination in mind.  When I graduated from graduate school, I legit had a mini panic attack.  I had spent years working towards the goal of finishing my education.  That was completed.  Now, what to do???  Ummm…I cut off all my hair and decided to do travel therapy.  Bless my heart.

You can tell that I like to set goals because I have shared many of my goals with you.  Like the list that I shared with you in the “37 for 37” blog.  If you have not read it, you should definitely check it out.  I take time to write the vision for my life and make it plain.  Which is the first step.  But here lately, I have been missing the mark.

See, my goal in life is not perfection.  Although, I have been accused of being meticulous.  No.  My goal is to do better.  To stop wasting time.  To get the most of this life that I possibly can.  With that in mind, it is crucial that I perfect my aim.  Scratch that.  It is imperative that I begin to move in the direction that has been laid before me.  The targets are all there.  I just have not been aiming for them.

Maybe you are like me.  Full of dreams.  The world laid before you, and you are refusing to aim for them.  Or maybe you are aiming and striving for them and have become discouraged along the way.  Either way, be of good cheer.  If you keep shooting towards the target…if you keep perfecting your aim, you will hit the bullseye.  I will keep you in my prayers, and I hope that you would do the same. #wepreach
