Goals Suck
Posted by Ryan Geiger on March 3, 2010 · 2 Comments
Goals suck, but they are crucial to achieve success in life. They suck because you actually have to do something about it if you set a goal, at least I feel like I do. I continue to change my goals, redefine my goals and implement new goals as I grow and mature. What my goals were 5 years ago verses 1 year ago are completely different than they are even now. I’m amazed at what I felt was important enough to make a goal out of even a year ago. Here are just a few of my goals that I am working on:
- Coaching 3 guys who have enormous potential.
- Read 40 books this year, I have finished 22 so far so this may be a “redefine” goal.
- Practice the spiritual discipline of silence. Learn from everybody no matter their age.
- Continue to develop as leader, studying, preparing, reading and listening. Podcasts, blogs, sermons & interviews.
- Network, Network and Network some more. Best way to learn is from the mistakes of others.
I left off some personal goals and family goals but what are some of your goals? What motivates you? Are you preparing to become who God has made you to be? If so, what steps are you taking?
You’ve already read 22 books in 3 months!? That is incredible!
Yeah but that process has stopped quickly as I am reading Visioneering by Andy Stanley and it is pretty much kicking my butt. I’m in chapter 6 and it is already one of the top 5 books I have read.
