It is no surprise that I thrive on having goals. As much as I try to live in the moment, my thoughts wander to the future and what that could look like. That is some exciting stuff, and as long as I am alive and kicking, I will continue to plan ahead to chase dreams and goals. In recent months, I have been doing a little side hustle that I really enjoy and am appreciative of the opportunity. Because of this door opening, I read a book that just so happened to be written by Brian Tracy. This is when life has a way of saying everything is okay and as crazy as it gets sometimes, you are doing it right. I had gravitated to his quote long before I ever picked up that book and sat through a workshop. It was a perfect puzzle piece to my life and the application of my goals. Being the visual person I am, I have to see things in black and white to truly understand and grasp ideas. On top of that, I learn and remember better when I take a physical step in writing whatever is important down the old-fashioned way with pen and paper. Technology has made life so much easier in some respects, but for this, technology needs to be thrown out the window. There is some psychological switch that is flipped when a pen touches a piece of paper and thoughts spill from the heart and mind that makes something abstract become tangible. I have dubbed myself a professional student because I have actually become a pro at fine-tuning the science of my learning habits and the construct of my best practices. For as long as I have had a planner and a notebook, I have been making to-do lists like it is my job and dreaming of goals to last a lifetime. Once goals are written down, it becomes a plan, and that plan remains as a constant reminder to put action forth to achieve. My fair share of lists of aspirations and even my daily to-do lists have come and gone while others still remain. I have crossed things off, but not until it has been achieved; otherwise, it has stayed on the list. I attribute much of the success I have met so far in life to the diligence I have taken to making time for my goals and valuing them enough to write them down to keep me accountable. It is the only way to get things done, and I am not settling for anything else because I am a goal digger. Stay Curious, Kayla ©Inquisitive Perspectives 2018
