This week the United States celebrates Thanksgiving. As we approach the holiday season, it is a good time to talk about taking a break. You’ve worked hard all year. You’ve put your efforts into personal goals and are beginning to look at what you would like to pursue in the new year.
Take that time. Enjoy your family. Recharge the batteries. Have fun.
The year is almost gone. You still have time to knock out the rest of your goals, but if you didn’t make it, don’t sweat it. Goals are voluntary. We set them and strive to achieve them, but things change. One of the revelations I had a few years ago was the need to drop a goal if I felt like I was pulling my own teeth to work toward it. It didn’t mean that the goal was a bad one; it merely meant it wasn’t the right goal at the time.
I’ll be posting this week, even though my sister is here, but will be less active in this and many of my online accounts, because it’s time to enjoy the family and friends that come over to hang out. Take advantage of this time. It’s once a year, and it is a great time to contemplate what you want to do next year, and how you did this year.
With that, I’ll wish everyone a terrific Thanksgiving, if you celebrate the holiday. I can’t wait!! The food will be awesome!
Have a great Monday, folks.
Until next time…
Dave

I like what you wrote about goals that feel like pulling teeth not being the right goal at the time. Reminds me of the saying, “If it don’t fit, don’t force it.” Any bit of progress or learning from a goal is something to be thankful for. Enjoy!

I agree. Goals should be inspiring and fun. If it is painful, we won’t do it anyway. Why go through all that bother?

Right! I can take some discomfort, but we’ve certainly paid our dues.
