I don’t know that I do

Maybe it’s just the way I think about thing, but I don’t think in terms of having goals. I have things I want to do. Or achieve. Things I’m working towards. But I don’t consider those things to be goals. And for those things that I want, I’ll research, and understand the possible path I need to take to get there. But I don’t necessarily think about it as a plan or a step-by-step.

I have more of a tendency to track progress than make a to-do list. This is where my… whatever is, and I’ve done these things to work towards it. But there’s rarely a fixed timeline or a checklist to follow. Life is too unpredictable for that. You need the freedom to adapt as things change around you. And sometimes that means putting things on hold for a while, whilst you prioritise other needs.

Other times its the thing you’re working towards that changes shape. And what you’re wanting should never be an end point. I guess that’s why I don’t tend to think about it in terms of goals. Achieving your goals feels like an end point. Not the start of the next journey. I want to be constantly moving forward and growing. I want a path of possibilities. One I can follow at my own pace. Because life should be about the journey.
