The Goal
The Fairy Blogmother just read one of the best quotes: "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the GOAL." - Hannah More, (English philanthropist of the 18th century)
What a great quote to keep tucked in your pocket and in your mind!
Everyone would be wise to take the time to think about where they want to go, and the steps they're taking to get there. Enlisting help from others is allowed, in fact it's encouraged. Everyone needs a cheerleader or a Fairy Blogmother.
There will always be 'nay sayers,' 'discouragers', and 'belittlers' along the way to your goal (s). You just have to recognize them: the 'friend' with the gift of chocolate chip cookies when you're on a diet, the 'auntie' who says, "Our family never does that," or the co-worker who says, "That won't work." You'd be wise to dismiss them all, with a smile, and keep focused on what YOU want. It's all about YOU.
So get started. Right now! Write down those goals of yours anywhere you can. See some wet cement on the sidewalk? Get a stick and write down your dream, but watch out for the workman who'll yell at you for ruining his perfectly plain and goal-less palate. (Never expect the uninspired for support- they're envious). And expect some detours-that is what makes life interesting.
