I Want What I Want
I give the waiter my order.
“You sure know
what you want!”, he says.
I have always understood
that what I want is who I am.
I have been patient,
tenacious, and lucky
in the fulfillment
of my choices.
The waiter brings my order.
I smile at him.
After all, it’s exactly
what I wanted.
Goals
Knowing what we want is an important component of achieving our goals. Often, because we are influenced by what others want for us, we set goals which we haven’t thought through carefully, but which seem at that moment the easiest to follow. At some point it is essential for our future happiness that we reevaluate these goals to be sure that they are what we really want for ourselves.
When we are in charge of the direction of our lives, we have a better chance to achieve our real desires and to ultimately enjoy those rewards that our choices have made possible. made possible.
If you don’t know where you are going,
you might wind up someplace else.
Yogi Berra
Your goals are the road maps that guide you
and show you what is possible for your life.
