Goals I Do Adore

   Having goals are everything. Not in a sense where your mom is yelling and nagging the hell out of you to do something other than be in your room, but in a bigger sense.

   Goals can be life changing. They give you purpose, they give you clarity, they can be motivators, they can even serve as distractions if you're going through a heartbreak.

    In many parts of my life, specifically, identifying and establishing a set of goals was the light of a really dark tunnel. Whether they are short term or long term, big or small, making a list of goals has always cleared a path for me to follow into a world full of hope and certainty.  Every time I find myself in a depressed fog, contemplating my next step, or even when I tend to lose focus of my present state of mind, I make a list of goals. When making this list, I ask myself "what do I want [to do]?" That question alone, starts me on the journey of (deeper) self awareness. So simple of a questions is all you really need sometimes. 
  
    Once those goals are set, that's my purpose and motivation. Whether it's purpose for that day; to feel as if I made the best of it, or for my life within the next few weeks/months. See the fog clearing up? Making those lists, 10/10 times there's always an immediate effect. Immediately after finishing my to do list or goals list, my mind is free of worry because either I can visually see everything that I need to do or I can visually see that what my mind was fathoming to be a huge load of things, isn't that huge afterall.

    As far as getting over a breakup goes, making goals/lists is what I always tells you guys and also my friends. Setting goals for yourself allows you to focus solely on you! You don't have time to think about that f*ckboy or f*ckgirl; you're bettering yourself to continue building a happier iife and to also prep for the subsequent stunt ;) 

    Now, I'm going to be completely honest, not all of the times have I checked off all of the goals on a list I've made, and I find that a hundred percent okay. Why? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose? No. Not to me. All my list does is help me evaluate my life and provide clarity. If you don't complete your entire lists, don't beat yourself up. Just use list/goal making, as I do, as the battery to give you that energy and as the flashlight to help you see where you are and where you want to go.
