The ultimate goal

Along the road of life we are always told to set goals as this will give us focus and a sense of direction. Short term goals, medium term goals, long terms goals, sport goals, weight goals, career goals, relationship goals, travel goals..the list is endless. At what point can we just stop for a second and just BE? Don't get me wrong, I am an extremely goal orientated person and see their value. Yet, sometimes its nice to just jump off the bus and hang out for a while. The hard part is actually being OK with this and not beating yourself up for not running a marathon this year or enrolling in online distance education. Enjoying a slow morning reading the paper, lying on the grass looking up to the clouds, eating a chocolate popsicle without guilt...just being present. The day will come when the psych to step it up again returns.
