Original Goal

Artwork by: Me! ToniAliceRusher
Life is all about no, that's not it. The thing is in life we all have goals, dreams, actualities, realities, capabilities, and ourselves. We spend most of our moments, seeking what the one greatest thing in life is that we will make an attempt at accomplishing. And then we set out to do so. We either accomplish that one thing or we do not. What seems certain is that as long as we are making the effort it doesn't really matter for what, but more for how passionate we are about it.

Without intentionally trying we manage to accomplish millions of things, things we never intended and never realized we did. These things occur just through the effort to accomplish the one passion we longed for. In fact if we sat down over well kept records of our lives and saw all the wonderful things we accomplished by making the effort to do the one, whether we ever accomplished it or not, we would be so pleased with ourselves and our lives it would be a miraculous moment. I would venture to guess we wouldn't even be so concerned with that original goal but more overwhelmed by all the good we found and created as a result of our effort to accomplish that original goal.

Some of us set out to accomplish the original goal and do so. Some of us, on the other hand, do not finish our task for one reason or another and set out toward a new goal. And others are 20 goal multitaskers. Either way as long as we take action toward the accomplishment with all the passion we have to offer the world it is the action in the effort that etches out our path of living, to make us who and what we become. And in that sense we are all successful people just by how we have lived. We are what we do, not what we plan.
