Today's Happy is Goals!!
I have put in a lot of thought into what makes me happy today. Not that I didnt have a happy day, cause I did. But more because I love how this challenge of 100 days of happy has caused me to really think each day about what it is that makes me happy. What causes a happy life. I have decided over the first 5 consecutive days of this goal (may I say I seem to get more out of this with actually posting daily, funny hugh) that what makes me happy in life are:
1) The little things (sunshine, my nephew coming to say hi at work, etc)
2) Blessings in life when most needed whether you were praying for them or because God had his hand out to bless and keep you from danger, knowing you needed a lift, etc
3) Discovering who you are
4) Sharing happiness with others
5) And on and on and on
I have started to see that happiness comes from inside not outside. Happiness comes from seeing Gods hand in your life. Happiness is something that is all around, we just have to learn to see and embrace it!!
So today's happiness is goals....why? Thats simple setting goals helps me keep perspective. Goals help me have a framework to make decisions. Goals set direction. Goals help you become and attract something more. Goals give you confidence. Pursuing and achieving goals helps my happiness grow!!
I have been working hard to start formulating goals to help me gain direction and learn what I am aiming and working for. What I am trying to become and achieve. Give me a frame work so I am always moving forward. I am slowly trying to set goals in many facets of my life.
Enjoy my current goal project. (Yea I am a geek and I get that, I printed off a copy of my goal and laminated it. My laminater is the greatest geeky purchase ever)
I was reading my friends blog today and it was about achieving his goals. I love what he wrote and choose to still his blog post.
John M. Huntsman Jr. spoke at my commencement. He gave 4 points that I recall and would like to share:
5 F's You'll Need In Life:
1. Find Yourself
2. Find A Cause
3. Face Failure
4. Find Someone To Love
5. Find Meaning
Love can transend race, religion, geography and class. ~ Incubus (Dig)
Have goals - Create an intellectual framework. Experience is the most valuable training ground.
The most valuable of all talents is if you can use one word instead of two. ~ Thomas Jefferson
All of these points, I thought, were very important to me as I went forward and pursued my career. In particular was the one about having goals. I have always been a goal oriented person. There is a quote that I found a while back which talks about goals:
"The most important thing about having goals is having one." ~ Geoffrey F. Abert
