Are goals actually goals? Or just desires? How do we define them? What steps do we take to achieve them? Do we ensure that what we want are things that we can actually accomplish? Are we realistic about our prospects and our abilities? This article spins around itself a bit in an admitted convoluted way to bring home my thoughts about what we can achieve and how we can best achieve them. https://read.cash/@Porwest/something-wicked-this-way-comes-1649530a

For me, I guess to some it is a word that needs to be adhered and followed so it will come to fruition but to some this is just a plain word to be remembered only when heard. It is still up to the person.
Goal if it will satisfy certain needs....
It is only a goal is there is plan behind it to achieve it.
You made me re think my desires and goals . My goal is to get to purchase a lot and build our home.. This is why me and my husband are working really hard... Then, kt made me realizedz having our own lot and house is a desire too..what my heart and mind desire.. I think they work together..
Okay you caught me there with the desires and goals concept. Hmmm so how can you differ from the desires and goals. It's all mixed up I think, if I had a desire to get a house isn't that gonna be a goal for me?
Not necessarily. The desire may be a precursor to becoming a goal. But it's not a goal. It's a desire. The desire is, "I want to buy a house." The goal is, "I will set aside this month each month, and do this, and do that, and do this other thing in order to buy the house I desire." Another example would be, "I desire to be rich." If you work a mediocre job, and have no plan to become rich, and spend all of your money, it's just a desire. It's not a goal until you figure out the details of the PLAN you will use to BECOME rich and then act on it.
Okay yeah, you layed this out for me quite well. You see the truth is goals are unattainable without the desire at first you are right, but another key factor you are missing is hard work and persistence. Trust me if you do have this goals set up and not driven enough by persistence and hard work it's unattainable. But I heard a saying that it's not about working hard but working smart.
Of COURSE hard work and persistence are necessary. You can't accomplish anything without it, except unless if you are lucky enough to hit the right combination of six numbers in the lottery. Other than that, success is something you have to bust your ass for.
Lol. Tell that to the athletes they work harder than anything I know of. What's it with you about lotteries man!.lol
I am not going to deny athletes are in a job that can be hard on their bodies. But I am not going to say they work hard. They play a game. Tell that to a logger or a foundry worker or a miner. I am sure there are many other harder jobs out there. And they pay FAR less by the way.
I say that the profession pays high for your hard work, you know why? Imagine working relentless on the pitch for hours and strick dieting no beers😂, And they pass through pains everyday to get shaped, that isn't easy at all. I can't see any hard working job pay that high, it's like $200,000 a week the highest is about $1.7million per week
Oh and today, I poured some manhood into my glass as you said 😅.
Would it be corny if I said I am proud of you? lol
Cum'on you could say it😂 Wasn't beer tho. Was a taste of some rebranded expensive whiskey. Do You drink whiskey?
I do not dislike whiskey. But it is not my preferred drink. I prefer brandy or cognac.
So what are you saying now? I didn't get that manhood mixture correct , darn it I've gotta go eat some Brandy now😅 But whiskey's are more expensive you know😏
Oh, I drink Remy Martin XO. About $185 for a 750ml bottle, but worth every drop. Actually I prefer E&J VSOP. lol
That's cool. Ever gotten so high you feel your own shadows are chasing you😅
Can't say I have. But there have been nights completely lost from my memory. lol
😂😂 dude, you'd be walking and flying at the same time. But I think yours was a knockout you didn't put up a show did you?
No comment. 🤣🤣🤣
Lol. You did 🥺🥺 Tell me about em, you wet your pants?😂😂
No. Never anything like that. But I know I had more than a couple compromising moments. lol
I've had few dramas on few occasions tho😅
My younger days were a little wild. Nuff said. lol. I forget how old you are but I think you are still in your 20s?
Yep 28 My birthday is on 14th Dec, mad I'd be expecting something from you daddy🥺🥺
Don't hold your breath. lol
Why shouldn't I?, If all people but you.
I can guarantee I have never met your mother. lol
You still my daddy, aren't you a good daddy huh? Hubba hubba 🥺🥺😋
Why do I suddenly feel uncomfortable. lol
About you being my daddy or what?
Well that's because she died, leaving me behind with my younger brother aged 3 and me 5😒
You missed my point. If I'm your daddy, I'd have HAD to have met her in the most intimate way. BTW, was that your step-mom you visited a while back? I remember you posted a picture and you said you were visiting your mother.
And gellna would my mum be one of those who gets your nice treatment and finally ends up with a reaped cloth off😂, I wouldn't love to be made in such manner😅 And Yep, I have a foster mum. But they all passed away porwest.
How many Percent of alcohol does it contain, I mean does it get you high enough? 😅 Taking about desires. I'd see myself on my condo sipping "Ruso baltique vodka".
So far as I know, on average, brandy is about 80 proof. It does the job well enough. Don't you already have that condo?
Excessive intake would makes me throw up. I'm talking about a billion dollar condo.
Why in the world would you want that? I can buy a mansion in Illinois for about $1 million. We're talking about a massive house here. For about half that I can buy a 10,000 square foot house on several acres.
Yeah, yet still we still have people buying such condos it's a matter of choice and human wants are just unlimited. Lol. If you had about $1trillion you'd not be objecting this 😅
Okay I'm heading over there right now.
When we set a goal in front of us, we must strive with every effort to achieve it, so it is no longer just a desire
