I figured that now is as good as time as any to really begin achieving my goals. For too long I've been putting off the things that could help me move forward with excuses like, "I'll do it tomorrow" or "I want to have enough time to dedicate to it." Well I just had an epiphany.
Starting today, the rest of my life is more than enough time to dedicate to all my goals--past, present, and future.
About six weeks ago I was given an assignment of my Introduction to Business course on self-assessment and goal setting. The course is a requirement for the Web Development program that I'm enrolled in. The assignment isn't due, per se. It's more of a research and exploration project. Personally, I think the professor just really likes to inspire his students to move forward beyond their set goals.
In the course I've been getting excellent grades, but the self-assessment assignment has just been sitting on the wayside. I hadn't put any time into it, not even to read what was expected. When the professor gave it out I really wanted to get into it, but with the workload from the class, my other class, and full-time work as well, it just kind of got back-burnered.
This morning I had some time so I decided to look it over. I read the three pages of instructions and then I began filling out the assessment page. I got as far as "Goals: Achieved & Planned" when I realized that many of my goals were no accomplished because of silly things like procrastination and lack of self-motivation. This blog, for instance, has been sitting here waiting for me to publish a first post. It's self-titled, so all I had to do was write about myself; what I did on any given day or how I feel. It hasn't taken that long to write all of this thus far(that is unless you include the time since March when I planned all of this).
I'm going to give myself a kick in the rear because this was something I wrote back in early March and it served little purpose while I distracted myself by looking for incentive. But upon reading it now, I feel a little less guilty about my creative stagnancy.
Final words: Inspire and motivate yourself, otherwise you're just helping someone else achieve by default. (8)
