Goals vs Resolutions As the conversation of resolutions swirled around the dinner party, it become obvious to me that I’d rather refer to them as goals.  Goals you set.  Strive for in order to avoid feeling like a failure.  Frankly, take more seriously.  That said, one of my goals for 2012 is to live in the moment.  No longer wait for a more perfect time to fill.in.the.blank.  Whether it’s debuting my brand new shoes, arranging a date with a long lost friend or taking a vacation to the end of the world, I find myself letting perfect get in the way of good.  So although I’d love to simply display these graphic logs in our fireplace, it’s time to light them up and dirty the fireplace.  Because at the end of the day, if I died tomorrow, I’d have had no good reason why I didn’t enjoy the roaring fire. image: knee-on

Goals vs Resolutions

As the conversation of resolutions swirled around the dinner party, it become obvious to me that I’d rather refer to them as goals.  Goals you set.  Strive for in order to avoid feeling like a failure.  Frankly, take more seriously. 

That said, one of my goals for 2012 is to live in the moment.  No longer wait for a more perfect time to fill.in.the.blank.  Whether it’s debuting my brand new shoes, arranging a date with a long lost friend or taking a vacation to the end of the world, I find myself letting perfect get in the way of good. 

So although I’d love to simply display these graphic logs in our fireplace, it’s time to light them up and dirty the fireplace. 

Because at the end of the day, if I died tomorrow, I’d have had no good reason why I didn’t enjoy the roaring fire.
