Which is oh so true but often difficult to remember. Over the past year I have had this 'picture' of what my life should be like by the time I turn 30, which is just over a year away. I am a goal-setter, so I thought it would be a great idea to set some 'life goals' before 30. The problem is, that if you let yourself, those goals can overtake and consume your life. I am not saying that I am going to throw caution to the wind and erase the goals I have set myself. Goals are necessary - you take a proactive approach to making yourself the best you can be. But, I have realized recently, goals are something you must balance with everyday life and they should not take away or overshadow great life moments. I have realized I really need to do a better job of not constantly striving to achieve the next 'best thing' in life, and to just live in the moment - cherish the time I play 'chase' with Grouper in the backyard (yes, we really do that), the wine and movie nights with hubby, and the actual part of 'doing' a project instead of 'accomplishing' a project. I also have realized I need to relax my life timeline and go with the flow more.
I am not saying it will be easy, but I am definitely going to try.
