What do you want?

Do you know what you want? 

What are your goals?

Which path are you on?

I LOVE making goals in the fall as opposed to the New Year. Everything is new and fresh the first day of school. The smell of floor cleaner, new clothes and freshly mowed lawns. 

I always made academic goals as well as spiritual, physical and mental ones. 

New Year's Eve is more to check in and make sure I'm moving in the right direction.

What about you??

FHE Lesson

I had the lesson for FHE. I passed out a piece of paper and pen to each person and asked them to write FIVE things we could work on as a family. This was very enlightening! We had similar goals as each other which made my heart happy.
Here are our new goals:

Focus, Stay Focused

Watching the Olympics I see every athlete focus in a different way. Some wear noise canceling headphones, some iPods, others close their eyes and image their course and how they will run it (my kids got a laugh out of a female athlete, eyes closed, arms limply in front of her as she made the turns on downhill skiing), and a few sit and watch their competition but most don't show up until close to their turn.

But they are all focused. What in our lives do we need to focus on? Is there some goal we want to achieve but haven't yet? Is it for lack of focus? Sometimes it scares me to focus on one goal because I might fail/succeed/lose myself/find I love what I do.

My son earned his eagle recently. It was his big goal he focused on but he didn't focus to the exclusion of everything else. The Wii and Xbox got their fair amount of focus. He knew what he wanted, knew how to get there, and achieved his goal. It wasn't easy and it took two years but he worked.
He is already onto his next big goal.

And when the big goal is won, how great is that victory! And how strong we become!

What about you? Do you have a big goal? How do you focus? Have you recently achieved a goal that made you feel good?
