Thinking back and moving forward

 

        Someone recently asked my what my goals were? I immediate thought back to my goals in the tools program.  So I open my profile page and took a fast look at what I had written when I first filled out my profile.  I was surprised to see that my goals had changed.  When had that happened?

        To my surprise some of my goals had been accomplished.  I am currently on the right path with many of my stated goals, and  some of my goals had just changed, and some of them were out of date.

        When in the world had this happened?  When did my life change and take on new directions?  I must have blinked and life just sped up and passed me by.  I hadn't even felt the breeze.

       It didn’t take much soul searching to find the answer to the question.  I hadn’t fallen into a “time machine” or even a “time warp”.  I had just been following and using my tools, one day at a time.

        I had been doing the right stuff. When I got up in the morning I ate that apple or banana and started creating healthy habits. I had been keeping my lists and journals. I had been "boosted and poked" back on track with the help of my friends on tools, and friends from my personal life and more.

        I had discovered that I didn’t have to be perfect and I learned to forgive myself when I slipped on my way forward.  That helped me more than I would have believed possible.  Forgiving ourselves and others is a great way to come to terms with our lives and goals and put the rest behind us. 

        We can only exist in this moment.  What has happened to us in the past should not be an anchor in our lives now.  I have stopped letting my past become my personal anchor.

        I looked around myself more often, and saw others that were in far worse situations than myself.  I realized just how lucky I am.

        In answer to the person that asked me what my goals are, the answer has become obvious.  I will continue building on the skills I have learned to use.  I realized I already had a nice collection of my own personal tools and this program helped me organize the tool box and put my skills with them to use. I am already a coach and now my goal is to become a life coach as well.
