It occassionally happens, we reach a goal that we've been long dreaming for, often without realizing it and the peak moment is about to happen. The planets finally align and you knock the ball out of the park.
For those of you that have reached a long term goal, whether it was making a certain amount of salary, or earning those hard lost pounds, it feels great. Often times we make strenuous attempts at blasting through our finish line goals, or it seems that they will never come to fruition. I'm being vague here for a purpose, and for lackl of a better reason, I haven't been blogging about a few things because I've had to mentally collect myself and idenitfy more than a few thoughts I've got swirling in my head at the moment.
I had a certain goal for over 14 years and again, for reasons I can't share at the moment, the planets did align on Thursday night and I crushed the ball out of the park. It was epic nonetheless, and I still can't quite figure out what to make of it.
I feel great, no doubts about that, but in a way when you finally capitalize and finish a long term goal we often find ourselves not knowing when to stop, or losing our way because a long term goal has finally been toppled. So, where do we go?
I can't honestly say at this point, with finals coming up next week and the last week of classes being this week, I currently find myself de-motivated working in the journalism lab with nothing but a few mediocre assignments to wrap up. What do I do? Why am I not ecstatic? Is that it?
To wrap up my distinctive vagueness here I am oddly happy about the goal I reached and quickly surpassed. It was not easy, and well worth it. I suppose I'm just ready for break. I went to Okemo to snowboard yesterday and at this point, that's my next goal is just to ride and enjoy winter. I suppose in writing this quick blurb that after you reach a tough goal and achieve your desired outcome, the next answer is to take a break. Relax and give yourself a pat on the back for your hard earned achievements.
