I really like the idea of writing goals down. Whether or not you follow through with them.. they are there on paper. I've done it multiple times, in various notebooks. I've gone back, years later and looked.. and the sad thing is.. I've always had the same goals, but didn't accomplish much.
Over three years ago, when I was 19, I was an inpatient in a center due to bulimia. It dealt with intensive therapy. One of my goals was to start with school! I'm two classes away from getting my A.S. It may have taken forever.. but I took the steps to get there.
Thanks for this lovely post, oceansize!
