See it to Believe it

I finally did it last night. 

I brought some stock paper home from work about 1 week ago to write out my goals. And about a week ago during one of our boring morning meetings I wrote out the goals that I wanted to focus on and put up. So last night I took those notes and transcribed them to my paper. This morning before I went out to do my community work I put them up on my bedroom wall. Uh oh – sing it with me Chris Brown – “Wall to Wall” let ya shoulders bounce. Ha!

Anyway it felt really good to do that, it felt good to see my purpose, my direction written down staring me in the face. I’ve been really wanting to do this for awhile and my little sis Cassiamelle really inspired me to do this, shoot she has her goals on her wall and is living one right now in Brazil for 7 months, I know she’s a believer in her system- trust! 

So, this morning, I put them up and I was thinking which do I put first. I had 4 categories, spiritual, creative, health, and life. My creative goals are very important to me and I thought about putting those first but then I said nope, spiritual is more important because that deals with my relationship with God. And God gave me the talent to be creative so as long as the spiritual is top and foremost everything else will follow. So I put it on the top and it just felt right you know. 

Then came my creative goals, life goals and health goals. My creative goals are second because they are going to help me achieve my life goals. As I looked at my creative goals it was so cool because I also put what I recently accomplished as a path to what I want, I mean – WILL accomplish, just to remind myself that its possible and that I’ve done it before.  Then my current life goals which will really stretch into the next few years but its going to take some work now to set it up and looking at it was so so so cool because its where I am mentally. But it also involves giving some things up and taking ownership of some new things. It’s a bold move in my life but one I’m ready to create.

Finally I put up my health goals. That was inspiring because in the past I’ve put my mind to some pretty big challenges and seeing that I was like wow I have run 3 marathons!!!! I just took a moment to look at that, I almost pulled out the medals so I could hear them clinking. Ha! But I didn’t. So it was cool and exciting because I know I got this marathon down for 2008. By the way I went running this afternoon, it warmed up from mid 30’s to mid 40’s not bad, I actually got hot because I had on too many clothes. Can you believe that?  Anyway it takes a lot of discipline and work and mental preparation so it will be something that I will be talking about a lot for the next 11 weeks that’s right 11 weeks to go!!! 

So, this whole exericse was cool and I’m so beyond grateful to be a participant in life and to choose to be committed to me.  Its just a gret feeling to know where I’m headed.  I’m big on faith, however, sometimes seeing, really is believing. Watch out now – “wall to wall” I’ll see you there – oh – “wall to wall.” Ha!
