I have a few overall goals that seem to be pretty solid, but I have smaller goals that I see as liquid and thus changing over time. My smaller goals, for the most part, are slowly moving me towards my larger goals. In response to Nicholas, I think that the feeling of being incomplete also has to do with our inability to be satisfied for very long. It's similar to the reason why buying a brand new widget may make you happy for a short amount of time, but we quickly adapt which is known as hedonic adaptation. Great post Jeremy!

Hey Jeremy, I like your analogy to different states of matter in achieving goals. It is important that we are adaptable in the pursuit of goals, instead of being hung up on a particular method of reaching it. Being clear and unwavering on the vision, and at the same time being open to all kinds of different methods to achieving the vision, is the key to goal achievement. Great post!

Hi Ian,

Great way to put it. I like the idea of river banks! I think that was pretty much where I was going with my thoughts.

Cheers,

Ultimately we all reach exactly the same destination, just at different times and by different routes.

I like the idea of flowing and never being sure where I’m going next. Even a river needs banks to keep it in and has a direction. Maybe goals can give us something close to river banks? As long as we don’t get too attached to the goals and allow the flow. But our destination is still always the same and the river always ends up in the sea.

Great food for thought.

I like solid myself. Liquid flow is not easy for everyone, ya know? I get what you're saying though. This is my favorite part of the entire post: Like water, you can erode any mountain away over time. <---- That's a beautiful thought! *smiles* Michele Michele’s last blog post..25 Fun Facts You Didn’t Know About Me
