From A to Z, and All The Letters In Between

It's good to have goals. I personally have goals and aspirations, not only for myself, but for my children, for my town, for the world I live in. Goals keep us motivated to move in the right direction, and to know where we want our lives to take us. Everything has an end point, and it's best if we have a hand in deciding where that end point is. But having an end game and having a game plan are not always the same thing.


We often look at things from A to Z. A - Where am I? Z - Where would I ultimately like to end up? A is constant, we are where we are. Z is also a constant. Yes, only we know what we want from life, what our goals truly are, but ultimately, our own personal Z never changes. The things we have a tendency to miss, the variables in the equation of life, are B thru Y. How are we going to make our dreams come true? How are we going to find our happy ending? The answer simply is, I don't know.


What I do know, is that it's not going to fall into our laps. We have to work for it. We have to earn happiness. And happiness is earned one step at a time. We do not achieve our goals by working from A to Z. We achieve our goals by working from A to B, then B to C, and so on.


I don't know how helpful anyone will find this blog. I don't know how many of you who read this haven't already figured this out without my help. What I do know is that I'm just now starting to see this clearly, and that this, is the next step in my journey through the alphabet, to my hopeful goal. And keeping this in perspective along the way is the only way I'm going to make it.
