Goals (Now with Color Pictures)

June 14, 2008 | Author: Matthew | Filed under: Martial Arts, Opinion, Philisophical

I have an extensive commute to and from work these days: 1 and 1/2 hours. During that time, I enjoy/have to muscle through a lot of talk radio and music. Sometimes though, especially on my way home, I tune out those distractions and allow my mind to wander (don’t worry, the bulk of my attention is always on the road).

Recently I got to thinking about goals. Many times a goal is something ethereal. A whisper in the back of your mind that subtly guides your actions. Other times a goal is something so tangible you can taste it and nothing can stop you from achieving it.

For some reason a visual very quickly formed in my mind about the potential relationship between a person and their goal. It’s probably just nonsense…but check it out and see if it makes any sense to you. I’ll readily accept both ‘wtf’ and ‘ahha’ type responses.

Different paths to achieving a goal
